Top 4 VH1 favourites

[grendeljd]

When I first heard the full line-up of the 4 initial relaunch titles, I was quite ecstatic, because they represented 3 of my 4 top favourite titles from VH1. I'm just curious what other peoples top 4 original fav titles were.

Here's mine;

1- Archer & Armstrong
2- Harbinger
3- X-O
4- Shadowman

It's actually difficult to rank them, as I feel very close to an equal passion for all 4. I could shuffle them at the drop of a hat depending on my mood...

***Apologies if this topic idea has been done before... I scanned back through several pages worth of topics but didn't find one similar [I'm still a fresh nOOb here].

When I was collecting I saw it pretty much like this:

1. Eternal Warrior (entire series)
2. Harbinger (1-25, stopped collecting it after reading #26)
3. X-O (up until birthquake, stopped collecting it after that)
4. Solar (up until Jurgens left, then i stopped collecting it)


A&A #0-12 get an honorable mention, but believe it or not until I read EW #6-8 I was never interested in A&A, and by the time I picked up issues 9-12 the "good" A&A was coming to an end (and it was really bad after #12 IMHO).

Looking back, through today's lense, I would put it like this:

1. Eternal Warrior (full run, including "wings" and the F&S mini)
2. Archer & Armstrong (0-12)
3. Solar (1-10)
4. Harbinger (1-25)

If we exclude the GK characters, I would move Harbinger up to #3 and put X-O (#0-15) into spot #4.

For me:

A&A #0-12
Shadowman 0-18 (even past it was good, but not as much)
XO 0-28ish
EW 1-25

[dbngaa]

At the time (and not ranked):

Solar
Harbinger
Shadowman
Eternal Warrior

Now...well, the same actually.

[Newton]

My top 4 favorites (not the ones I think are the best):

1 Shadowman
2 X-O
3 Harbinger
4 Eternal Warrior

[iwantvaliant]

1.) Magnus (Until just after the Malev War)
2.) Shadowman (whole run)
3.) Archer & Armstrong (0-12)
4.) Rai (whole run)

[caniac]

Solar 1-10
XO Manowar first 25 issues or so
Harbinger first 20 issues or so
Shadowman

XO is probably my favorite character.

I haven't read Eternal Warrior before though....it's gonna be my next series to acquire. I also still need to read Archer and Armstrong

[MarkRoseHFX]

Harbinger
X-O
Bloodshot
Eternal Warrior

[The Dirt Gang]

I've really never read much of the post Unity books. Unity is my all time favorite Valiant followed by Magnus through Unity and BWS A&A and XO. I love the characters of Shadowman, Eternal Warrior and Bloodshot but have not read more than probably the first few issues of each.

[BruceReville]

NPO

Outcast
Deathmate
Punx
Chaos Effect Crossover

[Heath]

1) Shadowman
2) Shadowman
3) Shadowman
4) Shadowman

[Aram]

Geez... no love for the Doctor? Doctor Who? no. Doctor Hwen.

1. Second life of Dr. Mirage (Overall my favorite title, though obviously not the best or even my favorite stories, I think it would make a kickass TV Show)
2. Archer and Armstrong (BWS A&A titles are my all time Favorites, though overall my second favorite title)
3. Unity.
4. Every other title that had a chapter in Unity.

[Aram]

Solar 1-10
XO Manowar first 25 issues or so
Harbinger first 20 issues or so
Shadowman

XO is probably my favorite character.

whhaaaaaat?!

Coming from someone on this forum; that's like someone telling me that they've never seen "Star Wars".

[MichaelPaytonMZ]

Harbinger
X-O
Solar
H.A.R.D. Corps

[Heath]

But seriously,

1) Shadowman
2) Harbinger
3) XO Manowar
4) Magnus

[buff-beardo]

1. Solar 1-25
2. Harbinger 1-25
3. Eternal Warrior 1-14
4. X-O Manowar 1-15

I am also guilty of not reading Eternal Warrior before... unless you count A&A #8... in which case I'm in the clear. I've corrected the problem anyway - I've just found EW 1-3 & 5-7, 9-13 over the last couple of weeks... [I really want a copy of #4]

But seriously, caniac... no A&A?! That IS like not having seen SW... snap to it!!

Well I'm up to 4 now (figured it was about time)

mommy-daddy issues are a pretty prevalent undertone for the first few books...

Well, I don't like Star Wars all that much...

Magnus
X-O
Rai
Solar

Magnus was just straight up comic book fun with a depth of conflict, character and interaction that was unmatched in the other titles. I mean, thematically, an entire book dedicated to exploring the concept of free will? Stupendous. Best line, E-7 (leader of the Freewills) to the Malev Visier, upon being told they had to fight for the Malevs: "Required? We do not care for this "required".

So while Aric was probably my favorite character/archetype, Magnus was definitely my favorite title.

BloodShot

Q&W

Tough to chose only 4!

[Dr. Solar]

Back when Valiant was coming out when I was a teenager;

1) Solar
2) Archer & Armstrong
3) Eternal Warrior
4) Shadowman

Now, in retrospect:
1) Harbinger
2) Bloodshot
3) Solar
4) Archer & Armstrong

[kevinbastos]

Wow. This was tough. I am cheating and using the then and now comparison.

Then
1. Shadowman
2. Harbinger
3. SOLAR
4. Archer & Armstrong

Now
1. Quantum & Woody
2. Archer & Armstrong
3. Rai
4. Magnus

I reserve the right to conflict with either of these lists at any time due to various whims.
