new to valiant comics
Hi everybody. My name is Jamie but here I guess here I am the Eternal Economist. I'm 33 years old and will graduate college this summer w/ an economics degree. I've been collecting comics off and on for 27 years, but am new to Valiant titles having just discovered their magic about 3-4 months ago. I like just about ALL types of comics really; superhero, war, mystery/crime, humor, oddball, sex, and basically all companies too, DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Devil's Due, Image, Malibu, Eros, Wildstorm, whatever basically, so long as it's good! My favorite charcater is Captain America (r.i.p.) and the Valiant titles I've been reading are Magnus, Solar, Turok, Eternal Warrior, the Unity saga, and Harbinger. Can anyone recommend anything else that's great?

thanks
While I certainly have'nt read nearly the amount I'm sure many on the message boards have, but the earlier issues do seem much better than the later ones. Solar seems to dip off a bit into the 20's (at least so far), and Magnus seems to do the same (again, at least so far based on what I've read). I have about 100+ Valiant comics to read right now! You are right though, it is very exciting. I did register my collection too, so the next time updates are made, maybe you can look it over and recommend something I may not have.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you're on the right track so far with your reading. I would add Shadowman, X-O and Bloodshot to your list though. Titles like Psi Lords, Geomancer, Hard Corps, Dr. Mirage and Secret Weapons were somewhat of a dissapointment. Turok is not a bad read overall, but he never lived up to his full potential IMO. Also, almost all of the titles start slipping in quality after about 30 or so issues so keep that in mind.

steel nation and magnus till the upper 30s was good for me
alpha and omega (solar mota ) was great and pretty much all pre unity was great then its only good here and there
i like bloodshot through the 30s
rai till acclaim
xo for 15 issues
and the unity ark
chaos effect was ok just ok though
and rai 0 is always a great read
oh archer and armstrong is fantastic

Welcome! 
I really like Magnus, Solar, X-O, Rai and Bloodshot. But, I don't know why, and some will laugh, but I did kinda like Dr. Mirage. But, I loved Dr. Strange growing up, and maybe that's why.
Also, check out the first few Magnus issues of Acclaim's run. They aren't great, but worth reading I think. And, when you see them, pick up some of the pre-hero books like Super Mario and Zelda. Maybe it's the 80's video game nerd in me, but I kinda like laughing at those.

Eternal Warriors was also decent.whovianone wrote:Also, check out the first few Magnus issues of Acclaim's run. They aren't great, but worth reading I think.
It's like the "Ultimate" versions of Eternal Warrior, Timewalker and Archer and Armstrong. Archer is a petty criminal, the Immortal Enemy is a woman and Gilad and Aram's lives were 2000 years shorter than in the VH1 line, but an different take on a good concept.
