Don't go feeling special because he gave you a taco. He's a taco *SQUEE*. He gives his tacos out to anyone who whines enough. He's made countless others "feel welcome" as well. :kidaround:

Welcome! If you haven't checked out Harbinger yet, please do so. I think the current version of all of the Valiant titles are better than their original 90s counterparts, but it is kinda fun to see how some of the beloved characters originally behaved.

BTW, your line "were waiting just for me, like a beautiful, classy woman in the fruit and vegetable section of a supermarket just waiting for the right kind of man to come along, commit, and sweep her off her feet. " -- made me lol.

Thanks for the welcome, pixierosa! Yes, I've been collecting and reading Harbinger since the first issue. I just read Harbinger #15 this evening before leaving home for work. I found most of the issue as having a lot of much needed levity following the advent of Harbinger War. Have you read it yet? If so, what did you think?

As far as what I posted regarding my purchase of X-O Manowar, my wife became a little jealous upon reading it as she is always reading what I post on these boards. She actually thinks there is a real woman I'm checking out at the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket now, lol.
