TheQuestionMan's Journey of Discovery

Post by TheQuestionMan »

The 90's was great for Comics and I discovered Valiant Comics when my local FLAGS/Comic Shop introduced it to me. I never liked the Collectable Covers and Stuff, but later when I was able to buy whole stories I got hooked.

Eternal Warrior (aka Gilad Anni-Padda) was my favourite. The flashbacks and continuiuty really apealed to me and of coarse that introduced me to... 8-)

Bloodshot (aka Angelo Mortalli) was just too cool and a different take from the Iron Age than anything else. :clap:

H.A.R.D. Corps - really made things click for me. :thumb:


After Unity 2000 I thought that it had lost its appeal. I liked the Character and storylines as they were, but obviously Acclaim's and Jim Shooter's alternate universe run ended the love affair.

Today I collect back issues and try to complete my series.

Archer and Armstrong - Full Series
Armorines - Full Series
Bloodshot - Full Series
Eternal Warrior - Full Series
Geomancer - Select Issues
H.A.R.D. Corps - Full Series
Harbinger - Full Series
Magnus, Robot Fighter - Full Series (Valiant anyway)
Ninjak - None
Outcast - None
Psi Lords - None
PunX - None
Rai - Full Series
Second Life of Dr. Mirage - Select Issues
Secret Weapons - Full Series
Shadowman - Select issues
Solar - Select Issues
Timewalker - None
Turok - Select Issues and the Video Games
Unity - None
Visitor - None
X-O Manowar - Select Issues


Glad to have found these Forums. Valiant Fanboy
