Look what you did mom!

Post by Harbinger2480 »

One day when my mom was about to run some errands at the mall, I asked if she could stop by Steve's Comic Relief to pick me up a few comics. I had a habit of buying the lesser known books, but she totally surprised me when she came back with a random title by the name of Solar Man of the Atom (#1). Needless to say after that I was hooked, but I think what really made me a hardcore Valiant fan was Harbinger. To this day I still remember my mom waking me up to tell me my Pink Harbinger #0 had arrived in the mail. I was ecstatic! The next two years of Valiant were awesome thanks to Shadowman, Archer & Armstrong, X-O, Rai, etc.! Unfortunately, I lost touch with the Harbinger Kids and the rest of the Valiant Universe shortly after the Stanchek/Harada showdown in Harbinger #25. But I must say those first two years were pretty rad! I owe my mom a big thanks for turning me on to a stellar line of comics in its infancy (AKA pre-Unity). And I owe all the members of this Valiantfans community a big thanks for catching me up to speed on everything that's happened in the Valiant universe since Harbinger #25. I'm addicted to this site and all the stories it has to offer. Thanks!

Sweet, did you tell your mom at the time how much money some of the books were demanding?
