Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

27) The cover is simple and has no background, but it still rocks BWS style.

35: Harbinger Ability: Agility/Spacial awareness skills to get out of the on fire kitchen rock!

36: First appearance of the after life.. so now we know there is one in the VALIANT Universe.

37: Turn the other cheek with the basketball bully.

38: First appearance of Armstrong's Mystery Satchel!

39: First appearance of 'The Sect'



Gotta get these negative comments in here..


-1 :Bedroom images of half naked people using knives and ropes to hurt children...Cant show this one to my 3 kids till what age?? 18?? So, is this a 'comic book' or 'adult horror sci-fi' ??

-2 :Sick white man, using organized religion to seduce and torture children. Bad all around... should have made him the ice cream man or something less influential.

Does anyone else get tired of overly adult themes in 'comic books'?



I do love my A&A though :thumb:

Strange part is, that came out more than a decade before the priest abuse scandal became so public.
