My valiant story!

[jenkinsMachine]

hello im michael and im 21 and im a alcoho....
ha that ain't the right way to start this i was completely kidding about the drinking lol
Anyway's it all started when a close friend of mine was buying independent comic's
i only collected DC at the time and shadowman #1 came out the blackout pull-box variant
it pulled me cause in 8th grade my ex-girlfriend gave a piece of paper with black tape over it. it reminded me of that so instantly i felt nostalgic
but when i kept reading shadowman wasn't my cup of tea and i seen a archer and Armstrong preview in the back
The boon.. speaking of immortality.. gods.. i had to instantly collect archer and Armstrong.
soon followed harbinger, x-o manowar and bloodshot each bringing something new to the table i have not read or felt like "yeah thats like superman" or "thats something spider-man would do" i think everything really original.


alittle comic backround started reading comics 2 years ago. kinda a newb still trying to expand my horizons to other comic company's other than DC and currently creating a comic of my own.

i now collect animal man, swampthing, green lantern (corp and new guardians as well), harbinger, saga, revival, x-o manowar, bloodshot, ursa minor, critter, archer and armstrong, all-star western, batman and robin, justice league, justice league dark, I,Vampire and Dial H.

The characters and concepts are pretty similar but the stories are very different.

The first Archer and Armstrong series only ran for 26 issues (I guess issue 0 makes 27) and the 0 to 12 run is very good.

very cool and im really hoping everybody is up to date on A&A if there here sorry for spoiler..
well i notice there was a geomancer comic and is the geomancer a part of A&A original story line?
or are they trying to introduce characters in other titles hoping for spin offs? same with ninjak?
i think both of those characters do have the potential for their own comics

They are introducing other characters in books now (Ninjak in X-O, Eternal Warrior and Geomancer in A&A) with plans to eventually release some of them in their own titles. I think the plan is to build up their fan base first.

Ah, a Canadian sympathizer, are you? I'll have to think about this. Maybe you're okay. We'll see.

they do a good job at it give them half a comic and that's all that's on my mind now. geomancer seems like a really cool concept shes like mother earth i wounder what powers she would have seems kinda like a avatar of the element?
correct me if im wrong.

Welcome

thank you all for welcomes ^ your the reason i read revival i think everybody should do that as signatures.
thats why i did mine like yours hoping people will go to the comic store and pick up more than the norm

EDIT: sorry to pick on you but if you dont mind would you tell me alittle rundown on The Invincible?
there a local half price books that has the hardcover 1-12 for 16 bucks and i know thats a steal when i go to the comic stores and see 4 set of comic graphic novels for 15 bucks.

i could just google it but i want to read it from a fellow comic book reader !
