New to Valiant - Sorry! - But X-O is great!
So, I am new to Valiant, so I apologize in advance. But I just re-read the first 3 issues of X-O and bought the next couple. Who knew Cary Nord was drawing Valiant! Who knew! I assume all of you knew.
But, I am happy to be discovering all of this. X-O is going well, and I have my next title picked out.

Re: New to Valiant - Sorry! - But X-O is great!
First welcome to the boards! Now as far as Valiant goes? Well let's say you have a lot of very pleasant surprises in store for you! Just a little personal opinion here, check out Rai. It's on issue four and it is awesome!

Re: New to Valiant - Sorry! - But X-O is great!
Welcome to the boards! You can't go wrong starting with XO - I love that first arc especially. I'm biased about Cary Nords work in particular as he is a fellow Canadian. In fact I just had a chance to meet him last week! Super cool, mightily talented dude

Sup? I'm pretty new as well. Everything Valiant has put out for the last 3 years has ranged from good-to-amazing.tbenson wrote:So, I am new to Valiant, so I apologize in advance.

Well that looks great, I think you just altered my reading plans! I can't wait to actually catch up to the current runs so I can read other posts without spoiling the story.

Welcome to the boards
.
XO is superb! Not sure if you know but the first 12 or so (?) issues of XO are collected in a great hard cover, definitely recommend it.
I'd suggest reading Harbinger As your next VEI (again it's collected in HC).

2) Prepare yourself to be amazed by this company's output. Harbinger 1-25 (and both of it's zero issues) is one of the best things ever written in comics, you should check it out.
