You get to read only one Valiant comic for the rest of your life. Choose.
(no, you can't pick a TPB, and no, you can't pick apart Solar #1-10 to create A&O. And price means nothing, so forget about Bloodshot "platinum")

Magnus #5. Two birds with one stone, great Magnus story and Rai #1 flipbook on the back.

I loved all the early Solar and Magnus issues, but A&A #0 has been my single favorite Valiant since it was published. A great read!

The two that come to mind are A&A 0 and Rai 0. I'd probably go with A&A #0. Or maybe Q&W #1

Any Deathmate book... because I am sure that I will have to take a crap and wipe my *SQUEE* at some point in 'the rest of my life'.

Haha...don't worry, there are plenty of those to go around. Valiant must have wanted to compete with Charmin when they printed all of those up.

How about #10 or #11? Great story and you get to see Gilad in action.

Rai #0. But all the talk makes me remember just how great Archer & Armstrong #0 was.

Solar 10-this book had it all, + the extra BWS story and comic panel.
I am selling "nothing" on ebay-yet.

I'd have to say one of the Magnus as well and #5 is a good pick. They're just great books

In all honesty though, Rai #0 probably ranks up there as being a book I would want to have.

Agreed. I'd pick Harbinger 1 but the Solar has more pages.

I'd pick X-O #0 or maybe Solar 6, 7, or 8 . Anything to do with slaughtering Spider Aliens. Plus, the Joe Quesada cover is pretty cool...I've got my X-O #0 Gold signed by him

I always have thought the answer to this question "should have been"
Harbinger 25.

Having only read about 150-200 ish of the books so far (haven't counted yet), then my answer is curretnly Rai #0. But compared to the guys here who have read everything, well I feel like an interloper answering this question.
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

Eh, no biggie, it's all subjective anyway.

I always like the Eternal Warrior/Archer and Armstrong #8. It may not be very important as far as the Valiant universe was concerned, but it was a fun read!

XO #6 Where he takes on Ax in his XO Commando suit. It truly defined Aric.
