It took 20 years... But I'm Back
My first comic book was Bloodshot #1. I remember being 13 and paying $8 for this issue which after mass publication and a dying company is now worth $1. Anyways, I loved the series but at the age of 13, money was in short supply and my comic reading eventually came to a hault for nearly 20 years. The reality of what those issues did was plant a seed that would bloom into a full on addiction to Valiant comics later in life.
A couple of years ago, I decided to get back into reading comics and I was saddened to read about what happened to the original Valiant company. As I dug through the 25 cent bin at my comic shop, I was able to recover more Valiant comics that I never read and thanks to someone that was adamant about scanning the Valiant collection, I was able to read the classics. And then I got uber excited to hear that they were coming back and they were bringing back the comic that got me into this whole thing to begin with.
Since the 'Summer of Valiant', I have been die hard Valiant. It's not the only thing I read, but for every new series that comes out, it replaces an item on my monthly pull list. My favorite current Valiant title is Harbinger, but Archer and Armstrong is a close second.
The guys over at Valiant Entertainment are awesome and they really know how to treat the fans. I can't wait to see what's next.

Welcome!
I whole-heartedly agree - Valiant is very good to their fans. Very accessible, generous, and actually seem to enjoy interacting with us
You'll find quite a few of us here who consider Harbinger our favorite title.

Welcome back!
I'm in the same frame of mind as you - I drop other books to make room to at least try anything Valiant is putting out. So far I'm happy to stick with every title to date, and no sign of losing interest in any of them.

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