Ahhhh hello
Hi everyone my name is Bob and I decided to join this board after the Valiant humble bundle offer which impressed me to know end (more on that later). I started collecting a very small portion of Valiant way back in the day when I was a teenager, an issue of X -O here, and issue of hardcore there, but I was never able to get really into a series in any kind of serious way. Cut to today and I knew that they had relaunched a couple of years ago and then while browsing a large terrible online store that rhythms with Barbazon I saw the X-O manowar deluxe edition and thought I should get me that. So I did enjoyed it a lot so I got the deluxe editions of bloodshot and Harbinger, and I fell deeply in love with harbinger, and then I got some of the old Valiant master editions. Then I went back and read so titles from the big two, and while they were good, there just seemed to be something excellent about Valiant. Then the humble bundle came along and I loved the charities it supported ( doctors without boarders is great) and it was such a good deal I dropped 45 bucks on it and will probably go in for more later this week. So I just made my way through the first four issues of A and A and that was funny and exciting and pretty much everything I love about comics, so I decided to join this board and start posting. So hello to everyone. Recommendations on what to read from the bundle after I finish A and A?

Harbinger, Unity, Bloodshot and Rai ... it's all really good but those would be my top 4 picks. Welcome to the boards you have found a great community!

I hope all of you will note that my favorite Valiant writer is Joshua Dysarthria. Dysarthria being of course a speech disorder of some kind. Damn auto correct. I could go into my profile and fix it, but have decided to post this message instead.

I hear he's much better than that Dysart hack anyway.

Yeah I use to hang out with a guy named Neil. It was pointed out to us many times what a great joke that was. We didn't remain friends too long...somethings are just hard to get over

Re: Ahhhh hello
Welcome (back) to Valiant, Bob!
I'd suggest you finish reading the new Harbinger - it's my favourite title of all the new line, and you mentioned loving the Deluxe HC. You may want to take a side step & read the rest of the Harbinger Wars crossover as well.
And finish A&A! It's really great all the way through & really humorous as you have seen in the first arc.

Re: Ahhhh hello
The humble bundle is allowing me to catch up quick. Great to hear about A and A and I did read the Harbinger War mini series and loved it. Q and W next, then Rai and Shadowman.

Re: Ahhhh hello
I'd say give X-O and Unity a read ahead of Rai. They fit together nicely that way!
And welcome!
