That's my man, Mike Walsh - Canadian Dunlow will be pleased to know he is a fellow Canadian :twisted:

He's also a native of the town I currently live in :thumb:

My March through May favorites :D

Best Ninjak cover ever! If Ninjak ever became a series - i don't know how you could top this cover.
Image

love crain, love bleeding monk ... sweet cover
Image

Stare at this pick long enough and you will certainly go insane mumbling Dr. Silk over and over and over again..
Image

sweet cover.. love the look and feel of shadowman on this cover - love the colors
Image

Over the top ridiculous Michael Bay Style action!
Image

Love all the RAI #1 covers .. but these two are my faves
Image
Image

This would be even better without the trade dress boxes at the top and bottom which distracts from the beautiful artwork
Image

Is this a reservoir dogs homage?
Image
Ha! Yeah! Nice! Any of those dudes in your head mosh?! - Flamingo

The Bloodshot #1 variant by Mico Sauyan that I use as my avatar is my favorite. Unfortunately I'm having a hell of a time posting it.

I'm not much of a Q&W fan, but the covers for the 0 issue are awesome.

No doubt there have been some GREAT covers since Valiant has re-launched.

Last night I read Harby #25 and as I looked at the cover gallery in the back something occurred to me... with all of the extra covers it takes away something I really cherished about the original run - the relationship between issue and cover.

Eternal Warrior #7 is all the better because of the great BWS cover. I will always remember Shadowman #13 (first Valiant I bought) and Bloodshot #0 (because of its place in comic timeline).

If I looked through my new Valiant comics I would no doubt find some great covers, but other than the very first launch ones I cannot say I have an emotional tie to any of the new covers because of the quantity of them.

Bottom line if I think about it - I am spending more money to get covers that I am less satisfied with because of the quantity. :rant:

It's also tough to have an emotional tie when the cover doesn't reflect the contents, which is often the case

I love this cover SO SO much! Haven't even reached Harbinger Wars yet, but this cover gets me so pumped every time I see it. Bloodshot looks so brutal and vicious.

I'm *SQUEE* that most of the covers posted in this thread earlier won't show up... :cry: I was really pumped to see them all.
