Some days I want to show off my Valiant collection...
other days, I want people to just imagine that I have more than I actually do...
and other other days, I want it all gone.

I think I'm Valiantzophrenic.

That's my psychiatric diagnosis.

My religion is 1st Assembly of Mothergod (Temporal Non-Absolutionist)

To bad that I cannot read them as I do not want to create a crease on the spine...they have never been open!!!I bought them from my in-laws neighbor. He is a retired guy with a large comics collection and very meticulous about the storage/handling of a comic book.
really no reason to read the Diamond Unity trades, as you can get the Unity issues much cheaper if you don't already have them. I don't believe there's anything extra in the Unity Diamond trades other than the signed page.

Yesterday I purchased a "reader copies" set of Crisis on Infinite Earths 1-12 for $19.95 at a LCS. For the most part, the copies are fantastic, except issue 11's cover is almost completed separated at the staples...lol.

Also, last weekend in Las Vegas I purchased trades at cover price of "Final Crisis" and "Batman R.I.P." I've certainly been going "Crisis-Happy" lately, but it is very exciting for me to especially read the original 12-issue title :)

It's a good price for me :) Any other sets i've seen have been upwards of $40+ in person or on eBay. Which is still pretty cheap I guess; my desire to share the news was just due to my excited fan-boy inside to now own this classic tale in floppy form :)

Crisis tend to be cheaper in the UK aside from issue 7 & 8, but even those can be had for 99p if you wait.
