My Valiant Story...thus far!

Post by TripleH_0225 »

Greetings & Salivations! I'm a long time Valiant fan/supporter since the chromium/holographic-era known as the '90s. My first Valiant comic was either Eternal Warrior #1, or Rai #0, don't ever get old guys, the memory's the first to go. I'm a little embarassed it's taken me this long to join this board as my good friend (TWGZK) has been telling me for the past couple years to join, but alas, all roads lead us to where we are.

Since the relaunch, I've made it my con-goal to get in front of every Valiant exec possible and tell them how much I enjoy and appreciate the books they're putting out, and telling every customer who comes through our doors (oh yeah, I own a shop in the High Desert BTW) that Valiant puts out THE BEST comics on the market at every possible opportunity.

I just got back from Wondercon, and was blown away at the fellowship & community amongst the Valiant-fans (to the dude who gave me that X-O print even when I offered to pay for it multiple times, Thank you, that gesture will NOT be forgotten) and I look forward to forging friendships and relationships amongst my fellow Valiant-diehards.

-Cheers!

Welcome! In the spirit of reaching out to the Valiant community (and as a long-time supporter, AND a comics shop owner), consider joining the Valiant Wiki, too. We’re looking for some more Valiant Comics lovers (most are Valiant Entertainment fans and relatively new to Valiant). Anyway, it's at http://valiant.wikia.com.

Welcome! Very cool that you're a comic shop owner :thumb:

This place has a full age range of fans - plenty of VH1 era guys around here in that age range where your memory starts getting spotty (I'm with ya there).

My wife likes to draw stuff too, and she is better than me! [I'm very proud of her]... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Dec ... ref=stream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
