Post by inmyblood »

Yep.
If you had to get rid of all your Valiant comic books and were left with the option of one to keep, which would it be?

For me it would be Eternal Warrior #1. I love the origin story of Aram and Gilad. Gilad was a warrior and Aram was a relatively peaceful person.
How those personalities developed (in EW #1) makes this book a fine read.

Solar 1. Top 10 best cover in comics period and a really interesting story.

As far as special books are converned it would be either x-o 0 gold or CEAR. Both books speak to me on some sorta weird level. :thumb:

I've got a Harby Pink 9.8 I would probably hold on to, but I think the last book that I would part with would be my remarked Solar 1 VcVSS. That book just seems to tie my continuing VALIANT experience all together for me as the enjoyment I get from the board probably equals the enjoyment I got reading the books "back in the day".
I am selling "nothing" on ebay-yet.

I would probably go with Magnus #1 cause that's what got me started in the first place.

If we could keep two, another idea would be to keep the Diamond Unity Trades... that way you get to keep one of the best story lines containing the driving force characters of Valiant and you still have a couple of rare books that seem hold their value.

A&A 0. Surprisingly, I think it's also the pre-unity that I have the least copies of besides maybe Shadowman.

One book to keep out of all of them.... That would be a HARD choice, but I would have to go with X-O Manowar #1 - my favorite character! :thumb:

I'd have to keep the Ironman/XO crossover. This is only because I'm an Ironman collector first, and would HAVE to have it there.

I'd have a hard time keeping any Valiants if I started selling, it'd have to be all or nothing by virtue of the fact that IMO a Valiant collection really hinges on having everything...

That's a good one but it's best as a primer or to fill in holes.

I would probably staple my Diamond Unity TPBs together and count them as one :thumb:
