That's one heck of a creative team, no doubt about it.

Rai #0
Very unique in that it foretold the future of just about every major character...but still didn't give everything away. Awesome cover too!

I agree. That was an awesome issue. Definitely the peak of Valiant greatness.

Rai 0 was tops. Loved the story, cover was extraordinary as well, probably one of my favourite covers from the 90's.

INCORRECT! The correct answer was "...either with or without you."

Uh oh. When the Human League gauntlet is thrown down, can the Hass and topic oblivion be far behind?

Back on topic......my favorite issue is Solar #1. It wasn't necessarily the best or most important book published by Valiant but it was the first to be introduced to me back in the day. That copy is still in hand and consider it to be the highlight of my collection.
