Valiant fan since 1993
I started with X-O Manowar and got some issues of H.A.R.D. Corps and Rai from back in the day. I was very young, semi-new to comics (was more into X-Men at the time) but picked up a Valiant Reader comic and thought "these heroes are brutal" and picked up some X-O Manowar and was pretty hooked. I've been into comics my whole life, it has never been "just Valiant" for me, but I always respected the way they told stories and kept the universe together as a whole. I liked the way the comics didn't shy away from being too brutal or gory. I always felt like the characters were on a different, more adult level. I think the splash of Aric being bitten in half by a dinorsaur was the image that got me hooked haha. Also the comic store I frequent had 25 cent bins full of Valiant titles when things went south for the company, so I used my allowance on that more than once. I think the artist for X-O at the time also lived around here (upstate NY) which gave me kind of a home town draw to the title, it was sold in all the super markets around here.

I drink Labatt Blue and like hockey as well, so you might have lost me before I even registered for the board. This happens when you live in upstate NY.

Re: Valiant fan since 1993
Sabres fan, perhaps? Don't assume he's a Leafs fan just because he likes hockey, Dunlow!! You should be far more concerned if he knows about or has eaten peameal:lorddunlow wrote:Oh, your sideways poutine reference was not lost on me.
