Starting from... the beginning

Post by Paradigm38 »

I've had Valiant in the blood since the first ad I saw for them working at of all places... a comic shop. Yes, I started from the beginning. Went through the entire V1 and then experienced the aweful reset by Acclaim. 2 issues in of any V2 and I was more than finished. And so 20 years has passed since the birth of V1. I spent time filling holes of issues I was missing (surprisingly not many, though I stayed away from the "golds" and VVSS items). And now...

I have quietly stalked the boards and (stupidly) actioned off some Valiant swag (Ninjak ring! Oh damn, shouldn't have done that facepalm ). I have read many of the threads over the years and... waited.

Just last month a baby shower, and a certain little kid is getting copies of every V1 1st issue when he grow up (lucky kid). I hope he likes what his uncle gifted him.

And now, here comes Valiant again (good thing I had extra copies of my issues to fund buying the new).

The wait is over! Thanks so very much for being back Valiant! :thumb:

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.
