What's your favorite Valiant character?

Post by Lightning Strike »

Even though Harbinger is the first Valiant book I read, my favorite is Aric. I love the character, the concept. Everything about him and the book was fantastic.

Are you sure? Judging by your posting name, I wouldn't have thought that. :P

Magnus would be my choice, but Rai (not the crybaby goateed version) would be a very close second.

My favorite Valiant character is Aric / X-O Manowar. He has many levels being a barbarian from the past flung into the future with alien armor.

Aric!!!

X-O #1 was my first VALIANT comic. I liked the look of the armor, being a tech geek.. I think I remember thinking,'hmm, I wonder if its like that Guyver thing.. a living armor.?"

Im glad I picked it up.



2) all the rest.. I love the interaction, the continuity. I really dont have a true fav.. Aric is just a bit higher than the rest.

There are a few titles that I could care less for.. we've covered that before in another post.

Jack Boniface. I love how Bob Hall took a fairly generic character and made him one of the coolest characters in comics.

I would say Rai. And not the one hanging with the Future Force. But Sting would be a close, and I mean close, second!

Good pointr point well made. I was going to say Shadowman, but of course the correct answer is Bob Hall Jack/Shadowman (despite my av.).

Next is Solar. Powerful, maybe a bit mad. What isn't there to like!

Hwen Mirage - a regular-(dead)guy-brainiac who happened to step way ou of his league. Cool.

A and A together. Not together-together of course, but as a double act.
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month
