My valiant story

Post by ironherc »

Let's say i started getting interested in comics fully around 2009 after reading some trades at barnes and nobles and borders (when that was a thing) and started collecting issues at the start of 2010 with marvel. After that i started DC and read both for a while. What let me of learning about valiant was when i slowly started learning of the other less known superhero universes like the ones from Image. What got me searching for something different from the big two started with Invincible, still one of my favorite comics of all time. After some research I learned of valiant and it's interesting history, I actually was very disappointed that it's original publication died years before i could get into it and there were no trades so i gave up on hopes of getting something from them. A few years later, Summer of Valiant was announced and that image of X-O walking with his energy sword got me excited. But because of money problems i could only get the trades and of course, i got the first one of X-O which got me hooked. I followed with harbinger, archer & Armstrong, Rai and so on. I love this small but very awesome universe, it's characters and how things do have a impact compared to others, I will keep on been a fan and read every single thing as possible. I read on trades but I will totally get Divinity 3 on single issues cause the concept has me hooked and i wouldn't be able to wait for the trade (will buy it anyways).
Also favorite heroes are X-O, Ninjak, Armstrong and Rai. I love most of them but those are the ones i really like reading about.

Welcome! I've already immortalized you once in our Quotes thread in the Registered Members section :D

I'm a big fan of Invincible as well - been reading that title since around #30. Sad to see its going to end soon.

My wife likes to draw stuff too, and she is better than me! [I'm very proud of her]... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Dec ... ref=stream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
