Excited to find this message board
Hi guys! My name is Chris, and from perusing the other stories, it looks like my story is fairly common. I was a big fan of Valiant in the early 90's and I picked up most X-O, Bloodshot, Rai, Ninjak, Magnus, and Turok issues. Enjoyed the hell out of them, and put them in a box and went to college and when I graduated, Valiant was no more.
But I always kept one toe in the comics universe, especially DC. But I never went back and picked up issues of the titles that I never got to read. Never read Harbinger, Archer, or Shadowman. Crazy, I know. But I'm just being honest. So I'm obviously picking up all of the new Valiant stuff and devouring it. And i'm somewhat embarassed that it has taken the revival of Valiant for me to go back and pick up the classic Valiant titles.
My goal for the short-term is to visit this board more frequently and talk some Valiant comics. And over the next few months, I'll be finishing off my runs of the Valiant comics I collected as a young teenager, and then diving into the rest. Ultimate goal is to have a complete run of every title I enjoy, including the gold issues and variants.
I have 3 young boys, so hopeully in the coming years they'll graduate from Transformers comics to Magnus or X-O

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

Welcome. When I first saw your user name, I thought it might be an alias for a guy that works at my local comic shop. But then I remembered that he goes by Chris Campos.

You guys (as in, those guys who believe buying guns is the most logical course of action after the election results) DO realize that Obama bought stock in Smith & Wesson on Wednesday, right?Chiclo wrote:Yes, off all the way to the bank.greg wrote:Welcome!

I made enough money off of him and his misguided policies, he might as well make some money off of me.greg wrote:First your opponents made him President... now you're making him richer.
Smith has a nasty history of rolling over to the feds. I know guys that won't forgive them for giving over their database of gunowners that had registered for warranties to Janet Reno. Janet Reno is like our version of the boogie man - when I was younger, I had to check and make sure Janet Reno wasn't in my closet waiting for me to go to sleep.
