if asked before i'm sorry....

What Valiant comics didn't you buy back in the day?

i'm ashamed to say i never got any Magnus, Rai or Shadowman, i'm afraid the future stuff didn't appeal to me and i just never could get into Shadowman.

(although i would buy all three if they came out in HC)[/i]

I didn't buy Valiant Voices

I thought "why would I want to pay $0.25 for dumb articles and ads?". Of course, the completist in me bought them at $5-$15 a piece . . . . still can't find #19.

you had to pay for those?? My LCS at the time gave them away just like CSN (comic shop news)

oh, and I pretty much collected them all until birthquake

Valiant was small enough for me to buy everything . . .

I didn't collect any of them.

I started on VALIANT in roughly about November of last year and still have a long way to go in terms of both reading and collecting. Everything I have read so far though (pre-Unity) has been superb.

I was buying everything for a while.

But I stopped buying everything shortly after Secret Weapons #1

I also remember passing on Valiant Voices...... and I still do not have a single one.

collected everything until a couple months before Chaos Effect. I felt the quality was already on the decline, so I dropped everything at that point.

I collected everything during Unity, and for the month or two after, except for Magnus.

I stopped Archer & Armstrong and Eternal Warrior with issue 7, X-O Manowar with 11 or 12, Harbinger around 13, and Solar around 20. I picked up the first issue or two of Bloodshot and H.A.R.D.Corps, and then my adolescent Valiant days were done.

I went through a "super hero comics are lame" phase around the time I stopped buying Valiants.

I collected anything and everything Valiant until the gold issues started coming out with regularity. It was too hard to keep up with that crap in the days before eBay.

I didn't get Valiant Voices or Turok. Collected everything else though.

I colllected all of the books back in the day (even PunX, sorry to say). I also collected the cards.

I only collected BloodShot and grabbed a few other titles just to check em out. I didnt really get into all the classic pre-unity until recently. I think the BloodShot run still stands the strongest. X-O was really good up till the 30's. That Original Pre-Unity Cannon is undeniably Classic tho, kicking Shooter out of his own Universe was just foolish

I still say the best part of Punx was the nearly nude backside of the women that Chang drew. Those who have the books know the "advertisment" I am talking about.

Never bought any Harbringer books. I guess at the time I was not into "team" books. And Shadowman did not really connect with me, although I bought up until issue 25 or so.

I came in right before Unity, and bought EVERYTHING for a while afterward. Then, as has been mentioned before my me and many others, after titles like Secret Weapons were released, I noticed a severe drop in quality across all the titles. So, I saw that Chaos Effect was coming up, I picked that as my jumping off point, and never looked back.

Now, however... I wish I had never sold my collection to board member Manowar Class - all my issues were GORGEOUS, 9.6 or better I'd bet. (That's 'cos I worked at my LCS t the time and would cherry-pick the stacks as the Diamond box was opened.)

And not ashamed of it! If it's true about the books I'm selling, I even list that in my eBay auctions!
