Hey, here's the story of how I discovered Valiant comics.
When I was about 6-7 I'm not sure why, but I would find comics everywhere. In these comics I saw a particular character named "Shadow Man". Eventually I began looking at the back of each and every comic I had at that age to see the Titular character.

A few years later, maybe when I was 12 or 13 I began looking at different things other than comics, such as anime/videogames/movies. Eventually when I was 14 I started looking at comics again. All of a sudden I started remembering the character of Shadowman. So, I began looking him up. Now I began exploring the Valiant universe even more. Now that I'm 15, I actually know where to pick up these comics, and ever since I've began reading Solar and Shadowman.
I don't particularly like the Acclaim Shadowman... It really didn't seem like there was a point in it.
