Hello from Michigan

Post by thereallwizardl »

Just found this site on a google search and created an account. I enjoy the site and I think I will also enjoy the chat with my fellow collectors.

Name: James
Age: 32
From: Michigan
Collects: I am a avid collector of the Malibu Universe, including the Ultraverse, Bravura , etc. I am also starting to get back into Defiant and older valiant.

My first time with the valiant universe would be about 1994-1995 browsing a few quarter bins and running into a few of the Rai and the future force and turok issues with my brother.

I have started to put together a catalog of all the issues I own using this site http://comicbookdb.com/user.php?ID=90190 that is my account page.

No I have not, I am trying to get the back issues first in case the new ones build upon past stories. Any that are self contained I will be happy to grab and read tho :)

Welcome to the boards! It's fun here. Ultraverse rocks!

My only piece of advice is avoid the Canadian Members at all costs. Especially MarkRoseHfx - he's the worst. He's a moose-eating commie socialist.

It's self contained 100%. it's a true relaunch in every sense of the word. The essence of what made those characters in the originals is there but you definitely don't need to have read Classic Valiant to fully enjoy them. And the Volume 1 trades of every series are just $9.99 and even if prefer getting the back issues you definitely won't need to break the bank to pick them up. unless you go variant hunting.

I have about 60 copies of Warriors of the Plasm 1 and a near-complete run of Ultraverse. It warms my heart to meet another fan! Welcome, friend.

Hey Chiclo, I feel exactly the same way! I have a reason why the Ultraverse means so much to me but that is for another day :)

Once I get all my books sorted, cataloged, and properly bagged and boarded. I hope to do some trades to fill in the holes in my sets.

Welcome. It is fun here. And crazy. And Canadian.

But most of them are fun, too.

As a former man from Michigan, two kinds of people in Michigan.

U of M fans, and people who went to Michigan State.

Spartans would have been the better choice! :)

I am not a Tech N9ne fan, but I once had lunch at a Cheddars restaurant and he was sitting at the next table. My co-worker had to tell me who he was! :?

I wouldn't even have an issue with that, the last sports game I watched was back in the 90s when the cowboys beat I think the bears in the superbowl, I think that was also my frist sports game I watched :lol:
