You get one Valiant comic...ONE

Post by Shakespeare »

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 :o :wink:

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.

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

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 :D

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!
