What's your favorite X-O story? It can be a single issue or storyarc.

It would be hard to decide between X-O 3 and 6.

Although the first Unity issue (8?) is pretty good too.

Hmm, I'd say X-O 9.

I'd say the first 3 issues are my favorite.

Issue #64

Loved the scene where Aric slit Darque's throat.

Good times.

Layton's story from X-O #6 - X-O #9.

Valiant could have stretched these 3 issues out an entire year with all the content contained in this story run. Definatley Layton at his best.

I'm going for #0. It's tight, and has a beautiful cover. Plus, it's what really got me going on X-O back then.

It's difficult for me not to just say #1-5, as those all had a tremendous impact, but to try to narrow it down a little, I'll say X-O Manowar #1-2: "Into the Fire" and "Kingdom Come."

Like the Magnus, Solar & Rai question, the origin stories were the most compelling, for me, and X-O was no different...and that art!

X-O 1 was my very first VALIANT book.. It has a classic feel to the cover, the art was simple and yet wonderfully perfect, the coloring was different but beautiful, and the story was excellent.. Im sure you can guess I came back for a whole lot more ;)

Regarding the Unity crunch.. was that the same dinosaur that tried to crap on Armstrong??

Was it a Crunch and Crap strategy>> or was it a Crap -N Crunch strategy?? LOL
