I pre-ordered a bunch of copies of this book. If/when Valiant really takes off with the collecting community, I think this is going to be on par with some of those Adam Hughes covers that collectors really like.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Both Ninjak #4 and Harbinger #7 are, more than beautiful, iconic.

BWS is great. He not only conveys action in his art but thought. You can see what the characters are thinking.

Seeing the older covers bring back memories. My LCS had a wall of the newer comics and I can clearly remember the Solar #7. The VALIANT covers always stood out anyways.

I found a cool cover on a random eBay search. Bloodshot reborn #1. 1:60 Guice variant. The auction had 0 bids so I won it for $9.99. It looks great. Collecting VEI is a lot more fun than I thought.

Did you end up getting that one? I was watching it all last week, but forgot about it this weekend when it ended. Glad I wasn't bidding against you

The auction ended at like 9am this morning. I won it for the starting bid of $9.99. The seller says NM and the scans look tight.
