Pulled back in

Post by Drummel »

Greetings!! i've been stalking this forum since early in the year when i just happen to be having another Valiant nostalgia flash, and discovered that they were coming back!
I was a collector back in the 90's of pretty much everything they released but mainly EW, Shadowman, X-O.

Valiant's were my favorite stories by a longshot, but eventually life took over and i lost touch with my passion. (sadly before they folded, and still missing alot of old issues)
I'm happy to say that throughout the next 15 years i looked back quite frequently on my fondness for them, and were the only thing i missed from collecting. Imagine my excitement when i heard they were back! (probably the same as all of yours)

And now i'm back into collecting, mind you i'm strictly valiant and have no plans on expanding beyond, as i intend to buy up anything they put out because DAMN i'm loving them all so far!

Hello to everyone! from just outside Niagara Falls, Ontario thanks for allowing me to join and i look forward to reading everyone's opinions and possibly dropping in a nugget of my own from time to time, with that i leave you with a few simple questions.

1. Do they have a potential timeline for EW's own comic? (i'm DYING for the next A&A)
2. I'm trying to collect variants, but aside from regular's and pullbox covers i've haven't found many aside from X-O #1 1:20 and #6 1:50. I'll be talking to my local shop and telling them to pull anything valiant every cover available in the future, since right now i just wander in every wed and pull whatever's on the shelf.

Welcome to the boards...glad to have you :thumb:

No timeline for EW that I know of but I would guess there is a plausible chance in the next year or two.

Welcome back! I started back up last year and I also only collect Valiant.

1.) Eternal Warrior should be the next title released, sometime in 2013.
2.) Keep checking ebay and this site for the variants. They pop up every once in a while.

I don't have proof, but since VEI re-introduced Ninjak before Eternal Warrior... there's a chance Ninjak would be next.
