I feel like I have come home.

Post by DarqueArcher »

I was big in the comic scene. And I am sure like most people thought Marvel and DC hung the moon. I call those the darque days ;-) . Then I picked up Archer and Armstrong and I became the biggest valiant fan and had every book Valiant put out. I even kept the Valiant Voice. Then the day came when a argument with the comic shop owner where I worked, had soured me and I left the scene completely. I would pick up books here and there but could not get back into Valiant under the Acclaim label. Then a couple weeks ago I see Valiant is releasing Harbinger in August. And then I discover this site, I feel like all the sudden all is right in the world.
I am sorry for such a long post

Awesome, I have the similiar story too. I just got back in a few days ago, my first Valiant purchase this summer was Harbinger #1-4 and Magnus #1-4. Actually, I purchased them in about 2 weeks ago.

That's weird, I don't remember how I crash to this website. I think I was trying to google latest news for Valiant then I found this website.

Let's keep the community growing, so there could be a promise to revive Valiant.

Pff... except for this latest batch of noobs, no-one else is left to hear it that doesn't already know, if you know what I mean.
