Maybe this should be in the Spoilers section?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Re: TOP 10 VALIANT MOMENTS... SO FAR
The last page of Archer & Armstrong #12.
Not only made me laugh so much, but is going to cause so much sh#t to happen between Archer & Armstrong.

My number one is definitely when Kris flipped the bird the security camera in the bank while wearing a tinfoil hat and they blurred it out.

Re: TOP 10 VALIANT MOMENTS... SO FAR
I absolutely loved Aric and Gilad meeting in present day Bulgaria. X-O #15 made me FEEL the tension.
Archer and Armstrong 4, when the boon fell on the old Geomancer.
Harada killing Saturn.
Faith saving Pete from falling off the rooftop of the Harbinger building.
Torque throwing Klem into the mouth of the dinosaur. Yeah!
X-O Facemelter.
Ninjak meeting Neville.
Those are just off the top of my head. Loved every panel of A&A #0.

It is so easy to forget some of these really great moments
These three moments, all had me thinking about it hours later.
I think the only thing that could top the Faith saving Pete bit was directly after when they were on the ground, Faith was doing her happy dance while Pete was being sick, beautiful moment and great visual

Re: TOP 10 VALIANT MOMENTS... SO FAR
Most of my top 10 are the same as everyone else's, but the one moment that's missing from the other lists is the ending of Harbinger #14 when we find out that Faith is still alive.

Re: TOP 10 VALIANT MOMENTS... SO FAR
Top 10 is so relative...lol. So here are my 5 favorite moments that pop into my mind.
5.Pete raping Kris. It let you know right away this was not the same old Valiant books!
4. Ninjak being introduced. Just so Bad *SQUEE*!
3. Ivar telling us some future stuff, also the monks telling us how he is responsible for the first catastrophe and he will be responsible for the last.
2. The creation of the Shadowman. All the questions that I now have about that alone... so dark and twisted and I love it!!
1. Aric being taken into space. Why? because this started it all and got me so excited to see everything coming.
5.Pete raping Kris. It let you know right away this was not the same old Valiant books!
