Ranking the VALIANT titles (again)

[Intrepidxc]

I think everything is tied for #1 in my book except for shadowman. Issue 11 was horrible. I'd rank them something like:

1. Q&W
1. X-O
1. A&A
1. Bloodshot & HARD Corps
1. Eternal Warrior
1000. Shadowman

(Yes all the books are tied for 1st with the exception of shadowman. I liked them all equally, but hated this issue of shadowman).

[Carson]

1. Harbinger
2. XO
3. Q&W
3. A&A
3. Bloodshot
3. Eternal Warrior
7. Shadowman

3-6 are just too close to call. They swap places on a monthly basis.

Bloodshot & Hardcorps ( just cause I love Palmer and this current arc looks juicy)
Archer & Armstrong ( a close second, with Faraway being an excellent arc, and I still haven't read 14 yet, gotta pick up my pulls from last week, I've been lazy)
Xo ( this current arc is a bit slow right now)
Shadowman ( I'm in the minority, but I loved the Halliween stand alone)
Harbinger ( not thrilled with their portion of Garbinger Wars, not impressed with Torquehalla, but the WTF moment at the end of latest issue redeemed the book in my mind)
Eternal Warrior ( again, another issue from last week I haven't read, but wasn't thrilled with issue 1)
Quantam and Woody ( loved issue 2 and 3, but resolution to the arc in 4 was rushed and not thrilling to me, would have liked to see the Crone remain a thorn in the side of Q&W and vice versa)

In order

1. X-O Manowar - It's freaking X-O Manowar! Who could possibly dislike this book? It's far and away the best comic on the stands bar none.
2. Quantum & Woody - Simply Hilarious, 1 arc in and I'm hooked
3. Bloodshot & HARDCorps - I've loved Bloodshot the whole way through (Iffy on the Gamma thing). Loved the Harbinger Wars arc and I thought #14 may have been one of the best single issues I've ever read. It was definitely one of the meatiest reads I've gotten from a single issue post 1999
4. Harbinger - Great book, always manages to be funny, topical and compelling. Always keeps you guessing (this Dysart guy is one talented cat, smart move locking him up as an exclusive writer VEI )
5. Shadowman - I was down on Shadowman initially, but after rereading the second arc along with the sublime #0 and #10 I've about faced now that I know that VEI and the writers know exactly what they're doing with this book. (Dino/Warren if you guys are reading this: JUSTIN JORDAN WRITING DARQUE PASSAGES ASAP!)
6. Archer & Armstrong - Funny and fairly clever book, I don't think it's as funny as Q&W but maybe that's just personal preference, I do love this book though. I absolutely adore the way FVL writes both characters, he makes them both interesting enough that they could each carry their own book. It's at the bottom of this list, but only because I love the others more not because I dislike A&A

EW hasn't even finished it's first arc so I'll reserve judgement but I'm loving it so far, which isn't surprising since I'm a huge Greg Pak fan.
