My Story
Hello all.
I am going to try to be brief but I do tend to ramble. So my Valiant story starts with Wizard magazine 17. My parents bought me the book, and I saw all these characters I had never heard of: Solar, Bloodshot X-O Manowar. Being from a small town we really only got DC and Marvel books so Wizard was my only way to even half follow Valiant. Sporadically over the years I would pick up a book or two, and loved them! But I could never really get into them. Flash forward about 15 years later my LCS was selling old back issues for .25 each so finally I was able to start a collection that is now into the hundreds of issues. When I found out that Valiant was returning it was so exciting to me. I am hooked, and so happy there seems to be such a large community of fans to share these stories with.
Ramble over!
thank you all!
