Long time, first time

Post by WrestlingWithComics »

I was a huge Valiant fan back to issue 1 of Magnus for myself, and my father read Solar as a kid so he got #1 of that at launch. As the Valiant universe blew up popularity wise I tried to get everything I could of the books, I have for a while all the issues, all the variants (Not the platinum Bloodshot 0, but I have a gold signed by Quesada and Palmiotti) Harbinger was one of my favorite books as a kid, and I missed #1 so I traded like 30 sets of Sword of Azrael for it I think.

Still have my Ninjak #0 Gold on the wall of my man room in my house, and still take out and love the old issues. Working on starting a comic site with my friend who is a pro wrestler (Hence the user name) but this site really seems to be a great place!

Welcome. Have you read the early WWF books from Valiant?

No, the only ones I really remember reading as a kid for comics were the WCW one's from Marvel. But I have read years ago, and still have all the valiants up until probably 1997 or 1997 when I was in college. My dad back then was buying the books for me, and going to college 8 hours from home made that difficult so I fell behind some.

The WWF books pre-date Magnus #1 and Solar #1.

Welcome!

That was a great intro!

Just a word of caution though. There is this other thread where people will quote you and sometimes twist your words ever so slightly to give odd or even embarrassing meaning to them. A sentence like:
WrestlingWithComics wrote: still take out and love the old issues
is just asking for trouble!

No seriously, welcome!
