My Valiant Story

Post by JeffBohn »

My boring story, but here it is... I hopped on the Valiant Train right around Unity, back when Wizard was all Valiant and Image.

Favorite Valiant memory was probably getting to go to a Deathmate tour stop, because I got to meet Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld.

Stuck with it for a few years, but eventually dropped out due to lack of funds/college. Tried it again in the Acclaim Comics era, but only made it six months or so that time.

But, I'm back, I've been picking up the relaunch since it started. The fact the DCBService.com has a great price on the bundle helps! But, I only get my books once a month, so I'm always lagging a little behind. Not doing any alternate covers, just picking up one of each issue.

Current favorite is probably Harbinger, with X-O Manowar a close second.

Welcome, it's fun here. Wisconsin is a little too close to Canada for my taste, but we'll see how it goes.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

Welcome! Fine choices as your current favourites - those books just can't do any wrong right now.

Oh, and don't mind lorddunlow - he gets a bit of a case of Tourette's Syndrome when he thinks about Canada. We don't mind, really - he's a good kid. :kidaround: :lol:

Don't except the taco. He probably poisoned it or something!

I fell off the Valiant boat for awhile (14 months - anybody know a place with good cheap back issues?), but I'm back on! My monthly shipments start back up in May, but I've picked up a few key books I've missed already (Ninjak, Bloodshot Reborn, The Valiant).
