It was about a year ago ....

Post by kinggirlfriend »

I've read comics all my life. Read Valiant in the '90s up until Shooter left. Saw a few years back that Valiant started back up but I didn't really pay much attention. Then THE VALIANT came out. I love Paolo Rivera so I figured, "what the heck" and picked up the trade, along with Bloodshot Reborn Vol 1 and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior Vol 1.

That was a year ago.

Since then I've managed to pick up and read everything except Shadowman (I did however read the excellent #0 and #10 issues), Dead Drop, Faith and Savage. I just started reading Quantum and Woody. Still deciding if I'm going to pick up Renegade. (I'm sure I will.) And of course, Legends of the Geomancer (that one really irks me.)

I LOVE ALL OF IT!!!

I no longer read Marvel or DC. Valiant is my go to comic company. I do read plenty of Image and Euro titles, but while I wait for those to come out I read Valiant. Always there, and always consistent.

I just wish I can get my hands on Legends of the Geomancer. (grrrrrrrr)

Thanks!

I was actually posting my thoughts throughout the past year in the Valiant thread on the CBR forums and Ferg told me about this place. Been reading through the published issues thread and figured it's time I signed up!

Welcome! LotG was a very divisive marketing scheme amongst fans, but I got the issues at the time. For me, the story didn't disappoint and I'm glad I got them - but I'd be very leery of a similar marketing manoeuvre in the future.

Thanks, Keith! Yeah it's a name that kinda stands out, lol. As my comic collecting becomes more devoted to all things Valiant I figured I needed to come to the main club house to rub elbows and whatnot.

Welp I finally bit the bullet and ordered copies of LEGENDS OF THE GEOMANCER 1-4.

A copy of number #1 for $13, and #3 for $4! Plus combined shipping!

#4 was hardest to track down. all the copies on ebay are slabbed. Midtown had one on sale for $18. That's the most I've paid for a floppy in a long loooong time.

#3 was $9.

It's gonna be a long week waiting for them to get here.

Now I'm starting to think about replacing all my trades with Deluxes's. *sigh*
