Favourite Valiant Title 2012

I have to go with XO Manowar probably because it is the most issues in and not only did we get XO we also got the excellent debut of Ninjak.

God so tough... I will say XO since it had 2 full archs of amazing work

XO defintely has an advantage here as all the books seem to get better the further along they go and XO already has 2 great arcs done with a major 3rd act on the way in 2013.

I love that the books build momentum month to month instead of sputtering out (cough,cough, Marvel).

For me it is between A&A and Harbinger.

And Harbinger is the winner

what does 'word' mean in this context? Does it signify you agree with something?

XO & Harbinger are very close contenders for me, but Harbinger just edges out XO...

I can't vote in this poll. There is no option for ice cream.

On a side note, I also cannot be expected to decide one favorite title between X-O, Harbinger, and Bloodshot.

Yes, I believe that is the proper translation in this case.

Hmmm interesting... so why does Vanilla Ice say "word to your mother" (in ice ice baby)? Presumably someone's mother has said something Vanilla agrees with?

It's all very confusing!

Ps once we clear this up maybe we can figure out what message 'Gangnam style' is conveying to us!? (just kidding)

I went with my favourite of the titles.

I realized last week that my favourite title is not the one I think is the best of the five.

You saying you voted for XO but you think Harby is the best title Chiclo? Please elaborate?

manga4life · Post by **manga4life** » Mon Dec 24, 2012 11:07 am

It was a tough decision for me, especially since I love Harbinger and X-O on almost equal ground. I had to look past the characters, the art, and the writing, I had to look at these books for what the future holds and how many options for storytelling they have to take these books into the next several years. But then I simplified it down and looked at just how much I'm enjoying these books and which one was my favorite. By the slightest margin you could ever think of I went with Harbinger, but this was no easy choice for me.

I'm loving Shadowman just as much as X-O and Harbinger but with only two issues to go by I had to DQ it from my selection. Bloodshot is an amazing book and I'm loving the hell out of that one as well, but it seems as if A&A is the one title that I'm having the hardest time getting into (though I still like it). If A&A doesn't really rock my world over the next few issues I'm thinking I may just drop it and focus on the other 4 books moving forward.

That is it exactly. I am saying that X-O is my favourite title but I think Harbinger is the best title.

Controversial Chiclo!

You're an XO guy, why is Harby better?

The last few issues of Harbinger have been amazing, so it was an easy pick for me. I think A&A would be second. I still like X-O and think it's a great title, it just hasn't been moving along as well as the other two.

Leave it to you to somehow make that statement possible

Harbinger for me hands down.

Every time I finish an issue I go....WOW

FormerReader · Post by **FormerReader** » Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:36 pm

I've enjoyed every title, but Harbinger has been the title that I think has raised the bar.

They are all great, but I'm really digging Shadowman.

Give Shadowman 3 or 4 more issues and it could be a contender for sure.

Big Red · Post by **Big Red** » Tue Dec 25, 2012 3:16 pm

X-O for me.

Tough call for 2nd place.

Maybe Bloodshot over Harbinger.
