Hey Folks!
New guy here and excited to be a part of this site. I started reading Valiant comics when Magnus #1 was published back in 1991. I bought all the early Valiant books off the stands and really enjoyed the work Jim Shooter and the rest of the Valiant creators did in creating such a fun universe. I had quite the collection of early Valiant books and when I saw how much they were going on the resale market I sold them all and made quite a profit. I have missed those books over the years but eventually I stopped reading Valiant comics and didn't think much about it. I have read some of the new Valiant books and have liked (mostly) what I've seen. The new Valiant crew is obviously very serious about building a comprehensive and viable universe and it's been fun to watch it unfold. And as a guy who usually has zero interest in variant covers, I have to say some of the VEI variants are stunning (and genuinely rare), so the temptation is definitely there to jump in and buy a few. Many are not cheap though!
The announcement of the film deal for Valiant is really what has piqued my interest in the VEI comics. I hope it happens and I hope it's great, and I will be supporting VEI going forward. (I've already spent the past couple of weekends scouring my local comics shops buying up some of the back issues I've missed!)
Anyway, thanks for having me. I'll look forward to interacting with you all on the boards!
Cheers!
Andy

Beware of Valiant nostalgia... it leads to light wallet syndrome.
