Top 5 Classic/iconic Valiant Issues (in your opinion)
Was just curious as to what everyone here thinks are the top 5 issues that come to mind when you first think of Valiant comics as well as your own personal favs...
1.Please list what you think are the most iconic and classic issues (based on any factor besides storyline. Cover art, issue number, rarity, etc)
2.Then please list your personal top 5 favorite issues (again in terms of cover art, rarity, issue number etc over storyline)
These can be any issue, variant, hardcover etc. No Acclaim stuff please.
If you feel this topic has been played out, let me know and ill delete the post.
Being a collector since their debut in the early '90's I would say that the following represent Valiant most to me:
1. Harbinger 1
2. Rai 0
3. Solar 10
4. Archer & Armstrong 0
5. Unity 0 (both)
Personal Favorites:
1. Magnus 7
2. Magnus 0
3. Rai 0
4. Solar 10
5. Eternal Warrior 4

Re: Top 5 Classic/iconic Valiant Issues (in your opinion)
I've been struggling for days at trying to make a response to this. Here's my take:
Classic/Iconic:
1. Unity 0 (Red, blue, whatever. Mass-produced, sure. But look again at the site's main page. See?)
2. Harbinger 0 (Did anyone NOT pee their pants when they first got this book?)
3. SOLAR 10 (Second-print for a reason, kids)
4. Rai 0 (the cover says it all, but so does the book)
5. Magnus 12 (what we wanted to pursue after we wanted to pursue)
Personal Favorites:
1) Archer & Armstrong 0 (what all books should strive to be)
2) Harbinger 7 (the heart of it strikes into my soul every time)
3) Rai 5 (understood what it was like to be a father)
4) Magnus 0 (more appreciation as they years go by)
5) Shadowman 8 (cool cover, cool story, cool-cool)
I also wanted to put on the SOLAR-X-O crossover books after Unity.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.
In addition, I'm right.

Personal Favorites
1. Eternal Warrior 1 (first valiant comic I ever bought)

3. Eternal Warrior/Archer & Armstrong 8 (Loved seeing Gil and Aram together even thought they didn't like each other very much)

5. Eternal Warrior Yearbook 1 (loved all the violent back stories for Gil, plus I thought the artist did a great job)
Can you guess who my favorite Valiant character was?
