My Valiant Story
Hey everyone,
I'm super new to board and to Valiant as well. My Valiant story is that I was reviewing comics for a website last year. I contacted all the publishers for review copies. Being new to reviewing comics, and being on a low key site, I was not expecting any of the companies to respond to me. However, Valiant responded immediately and provided me with digital copies of their titles. As I read them, I found that the Valiant Universe was right up my alley in terms of tone and story. Just last week, I decided i was going to drastically cut my pull list at my LCS because I could not keep up my with all my monthlys due to everyday life. I decided to keep seven titles, and I am happy to say five of them are Valiant titles(Bloodshot, Unity, Shadowman, Harbinger, and XO-Manowar). There are two reasons why I chose Valiant as the universe that I would follow. The first is because of the great quality of the comics as well as their tone. The second, and deciding reason is the compactness of the universe. With Valiant I am able to read great comics, and share in their universe without having to follow a ton of titles, and in the modern age of being busy all the time, being compact and digestable is a very nice quality to have

First of all, welcome to the boards. It's fun here.
Secondly, beware the Canadians here. They be sneaky folk. MarkRoseHFX and hawkeyeps, especially, are not to be trusted.
Finally, what are the other two books?
