Post by StarBrand »

If you could pick only one all-time favorite VALIANT issue of yours, which one would it be?
I'll go with Harbinger 1. :thumb:

Hard choice, but I'm kinda partial to Magnus #12.

I would go with Harbinger #1 as well as I have a mini-hoard of around 10 copies.

I would pick Solar 0, but it was actually published over Soal 1 -10.

If forced to pick just one, I would say Magnus 1, as it stated it all. I am approaching 50 copies of this one!

However, Harbinger 1 would be a close second.

Anyways, my favorite issue is probably XO # 0.

just to be different, I'm not going to pick a Pre-Unity book.

I say Harbinger #25, the big battle issue.

Hmmm...single favorite Valiant issue? I think it changes a lot, actually...hahahaha.

Probably Ninjak #1...because it was the first Valiant book I remember buying when it was new on the shelves, and at the time I was a HUGE Joe Quesada fan from his work on X-Factor (I think?)

I just loved the chromium, the artwork...the story was compelling and the character seemed Batman-ish (Bats is still my favorite character...lol)

Other notables are:
- Solar #29 (the first Valiant Vision issue...shocker? Lol)
- HardCorps #1 (I love the original team!)

Solar #1. It's the first Valiant I bought off the shelf and I'll never forget that, "huh, this is pretty cool...and different" feeling of excitement I got when I read it.

Of all the stuff I have read I would have to go with Bloodshot Yearbook 1.

That's what made Valiant so great, wasn't it? That massive feeling of excitement and discovery.

Hmmm,

I think I'm going to go with Magnus 5/Rai 1 flipbook.

To me, the most underrated book of the entire Valiant universe! First appearance of the first original valiant character, the coolness factor of the flipbook, kicking off the invasion storyline, so much going on!
