Post by vipcomics »

Hello everyone,

I have been a comic book enthusiast for 20 years. Of course, I knew of Valiant but thought the universe may be too complicated for me to jump into. Then in recent months I ordered a lot of random indie comics to check out. There were Valiant comics from the 90s in the mix, and I was really taken with the cover art of A&A, Harbinger, and H.A.R.D. Corps. So, long story short- I read them and then started reading the newer Valiant stuff. I LOVE this publisher. So, here I am having spent over a hundred dollars on cat cosplay covers. Omg, so freaking cute.

P.S. Does anyone have suggestions for Valiant related podcasts?

All the best-Julie

Julie,

Welcome to our addiction. Valiant, by far, is the best comic book company (IMHO). Just wait until you get a chance to meet some of the Valiant people at your local Con, they are awesome as well. We have several different podcasts, all are quite enjoyable. One of my favorites is OnlyTheValiant. Check out their latest!

Welcome aboard, Julie! Hope you enjoy being part of this fan community - it's among the very best. :thumb:

And thanks TheeBaldMoose for recommending the OTV:VCR podcast - I'm a little partial to it since I'm a co-host (Hamiltron Josh). :D

Valiant Central Podcast and Something Valiant are also two good shows to tune into as well (sorry, I don't have any proper links handy to share).
