I bet Liv tastes like vanilla.

Archer and Armstrong / Eternal Warrior #8

But that's after a lot of agonizing over the question.

A top five would be more fair.

Yeah, but top 5's are easy! I wanted to make this hard.

Tough choice, but I'd go with...Magnus 12.

Magnus #1...nothing beats your first. I was hooked immediately.

Too bad they lost Shooter just 15 or so issues later.

You, sir, are mean.

EW/A&A #8 as well.

Interesting how A&A (#0 or #8) get a lot of nods here as being the ONE book to have yet it was the first Preunity title to be cancelled.

My choice would have to be X-O #0. A great story featuring the origin of my favorite Valiant hero.

Although issue #1 would be a close second...

a & a 3...number 0 is just too creepy number 3 is just funny or maybe even number 10-wasn't that the one with toby the pie man and jimi hendrix and everybody?

My only problem with X-O #0 is it's a two-minute read! It's beautiful art, but beyond that...

C'mon Slym - dive in and make your choice! Okay I may wish to change my own soon as I may have been impulsive....
I am waiting for the thread for completists - the one book you could live without in your collection therefore ruining its completeness...

Most people, myself included, hung in for Harby 25 and the climax of the Pete/Harada storyline. I think it didn't live up to expectations, especially after the 10 issues of hype that came before it.

Like I said in a earlier post here, it "should've have been" the book, I think this was a huge example of how VALIANT dropped the editorial ball after Mr. Shooter was ousted. Harbinger was Shooter's baby and after he left this book had the sharpest decline in quality in my opinion.

And so, I stick with my first choice, Solar 10.

I agree, Harby #25 could have been a masterpiece with Jim at the helm, but at least it was better than what came after it <shudder>.

My first instinct is to name off one of my favorite Q+W books, but I have to go with Rai #0.

Whatever it is, I'll bet it's a Rai book.

E.W. Yearbook #1 or any one of the first 15 issues.

Just to be fair about this... MotA's gonna come at you from the left (for the Q&W). And I'm gonna kick you in the balls and kick you while you're on the ground (for Q&W and Rai 0).

SEE YOU IN CHAT!

Agreed. Harby #25 could have been the definitive post-unity Valiant. It was still pretty good, but it could have been SO much more.

Harby 25 was a good read, I liked the ending where Peter is just leaving and (at the time) you have no idea where he is going. However, I don't know if him just leaving fits in with the character, I would think after Unity he would have learned that you just can't abandon your life's battles.
