You're a funny guy. Don't think I never noticed.
:P

Seriously. Every fan needs at least 1 run for novelty sake. You may hate the story but it is part of the history.

Most people who read Deathmate know nothing about it. Rubik is a notable exception.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

I'm just glad it was pretty good, long and drawn out. (that's what she said.)

I thought it was alright. It was a great idea but horrendously made. Valiant and image made a crossover and each did two main books. The image side was severely delayed and in my opinion poorly done.

The idea behind the story though could have been epic. What everyone expected to be the biggest and most amazing legendary explosive event in comics... Arived with a whimper and a fizzle.
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

Cool thread. I just put together a reader set of what I consider to be essential Valiant to give to my nephew. I included everything pre-Unity (using mostly the TPBs), plus Unity - then Rai 8 & 0; Shadowman up to 13; X-O up to 10; Harbinger through 25; Archer & Armstrong through 12; EW 6-7; and Bloodshot 1-7. I know several of these series continued being good on past these points, but I didn't want to overwhelm him.
This post has been carefully constructed so as to add absolutely nothing to any discussion or topic.

The ways of Rubik are strange to most. He is a traveller from odd lands.
