First time poster, lifelong Valiant fan.
HI there,
I've been a Valiant fan since the time of Unity. I was about 14, was collecting all the "cool" comics that Wizard told me to. One day in a issue of Wizard they said to watch out for this new comic called Harbinger and how it could become the new X-Men. So I bugged my mom to take me out to the comic store to buy Harbinger #1, and to my luck it was in the back issue bins for $3! I bought it immediately and from the point on I was hooked on Valiant. Unity came out about the same time and I collected until I was a Senior in high school when girls and cars became "more" important. Now that I'm in my thirties I've since reconnected with Valiant and have bought all the pre-unity issues and even buying multiples of key issues (huge thanks to my wife for allowing that lol
). I'm really looking forward to the future of Valiant and the movies on the big screen.

Welcome to the boards! It's fun here as long as you help me destroy the scourge that is the Canadian Valiant Contingent.
*SQUEE* your science, I have a machine gun.

Weeeeelll.... I'm just a stones throw away from Canada so not sure how much help I would be since I'm practically part Canadian by association. Plus, they have good beer.

Dunlow, you realize it's a hopeless battle you fight now, don't you? We have even invaded the Valiant podcasts successfully!! We're regulars on the OTV spin-off!! War's over, dude!
