I sure loved the cover to X-O Manowar #0. It was very striking for me at the time and I was very into Quesada which is why I loved his run on Ninjak. Nowadays, I can take him or leave him... I see the cartooniness of his work and I am leaning more towards realistic artiwork. ahhh Neal Adam's art has spoiled me.

i liek that they made a ridiculious amount of xo 0 because i picked up 50 for 10 bucks a while back and i just give them to friends to introduce the valiant universe to other peaple everyone out there is familiar with quasada so they see that name and will read it with openess and most usually get why i like this little world then i loan out half my collection lol

I actually think my first Valiant book was Harbinger 13

Then I went crazy and bought all the back issues from there. . . .

I think my most expensive book was Harby #1 $75.00

I still don't mind that I paid that. It was my grail at the time.

It made me happy just taking it out a looking at it . . . .

I wish I could claim I was drawn in by something more key than this, but - Archer and Armstrong #15.

The word "grail" gets thrown around farrrrrrr too much in comics collecting.

Yeah, but if you're talking about Valiant collecting, Harbinger #1 is a reasonable choice.

I think the first I remember is Solar 1. I didn't read it when I picked it up for a couple months. Then, I got Magnus somewhere around 3 or 4 and loved it. Probably why Magnus is still my favorite because it was my first. Then, X-O around the first issue. Loved that too. THEN I read the Solar 1 and fell in love with it. After 3 titles I was hooked!!!

I don't think my girl will take it very well if I tell her, "Baby, I just want to set this Giant-Size X-Men 1 right behind your head this time, OK?"

She might be more interested in a Giant Size Man-Thing anyway.

Unity #0. My local comic shop owner tossed it in with my Marvel stuff i was collecting at the time. Took it home gave it a read then started picking up the rest of the series. Month later I had cancelled all my in-store Marvel suscriptions and was collecting the entire Valiant universe.

truthfully even though i do not think this really counts but mine was the super mario bros book. then eventually i think maybe archer and armstrong 11 was my first.
