My valiant story

Post by stitches »

I'm belgian so I grew up reading Franco-Belge comics. When i grew older I discovered the american comics. I bought what i could find in de the belgian comic-stores. Mostly mainstream big 2 comics.

Then i discovered digital comics :D So the comic world opened up. I discovered the X-O manowar comic (2012 version) when there were about 4 issues out. I bought, them read them and loved them. Started buying the new valiant comics and I can say I absolutely love all of them. Especially harbinger has a special place in my heart now :D

This is what digital comics can do. While I don't really love them, this makes total sense.

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 to the boards. It's fun here. The important question now: which side do you choose? The Canadians or the Joshes?

Welcome to the bored!

Maybe you can give some good recommendations of Franco-Belge comics to check out? It's been something I've been interested in reading some of.

Welcome! :thumb:

When you get a chance can you list the creators of these comics. I've always loved European comics but I'm really not familiar with a lot of theme - Moebius (of course), Jodorowsky and Enkal are a few favorites.

Mark, you are not helping me with my personal identity crisis as a Canadian Josh.

Welcome to the board, Stitches!! Cool to hear that digital comics helped you get into mor comics in general, and Valiant in particular. :thumb:

Also, sorry that you got hi-jacked into an ongoing inside joke here - just enjoy the ride :lol:
