short and sweet
I was 10-12 when I read my first Valiant, (Eternal Warrior #10, I think shortly followed by Bloodshot #6) and I was lost with both titles. So it took me unil I was 16-17 and was in Texas, pretty board and wanting some comics, to get hooked. The only comics I could find were at this local Bi-Lo type Store, and they were all Valiants, mostly from the DeathMate era, but they impressed me enough to check out all that Valiant had to offer. I think what did it was some of the art and coloring from the DeathMate comics, the series had me lost cause I had no idea how to put them in chronological order, and still makes little sence, but I loved the watercolor and color pencil work. The comic that got me story, art, and all, I think was X-O #17. I never liked Iron Man's character too much, but thought the armor was great, and here was this sort of anti-hero like Iron Man, minus the alchoholic arrogant prick attitude.
In addition, my Gf has started getting into comics, and Iron Man is one of her favorites, so once I came back to the boards, she became curious about this whole Valiant Comics thing, so I introduced her to X-O, and I think I'm getting her hooked.

Sweet. But if she is just your girl friend, make sure you keep your comics yours, and her comics hers.

If you have a girlfriend that likes Iron Man, here's a tip - keep her away from IMJ
