Did I find it or did it find me?
Hey Valiant Family!
Thanks for welcoming, I am happy to find a community with the same love for Valiant.
Hello everyone, my name is Hooser (ˈho͞oZHər) like the Indiana Hoosiers. I am originally from Albuquerque New Mexico, and currently living in Seattle, WA for the last 5 years. I am a drug and alcohol counselor in Downtown Seattle.
As a kid in the 90's I was walking through a comic store and a bright shinny comic caught my eye. It was a XO-Manonwar Zero issue. (Still have this book and turns out it was the misprint off white book!) I collected some Batman, Bloodshot, Harbinger and A&A in the 90's. I kinda went away with comics when Valiant sold to Acclaim.
5 years ago I moved to Seattle, which can be a difficult place to meet new people being the new person. I was hit with the Seattle Freeze pretty hard, So I started to pick up other hobbies that I could do on my own, like Disc Golf, brewing my own beer, and painting. I had bought a Kindle and was looking for books to read one day and came across 2014 & 2015 Valiant Free Comic Book Day downloads and shortly after that I had bought Dysart's Harbinger, and Van Lente's A&A Deluxe Editions. I have been hooked since then!
As and addiction counselor I got sucked into Dysart's run at Harbinger and Pete's addiction problems. I know i am not alone, He freaking rocked that run!
I got connected with you guys here by meeting some awesome Valiant Fans at ECCC 2017 this weekend. Got to meet Dinesh, Warren, Fred, Hunter, Josh, Kindt, Barron, Rafer, and JDF. I was the dude dressed as a 1%.
Again thanks for welcoming me. I am looking forward to interacting with all you!
Thanks,
Hooser

Welcome to the boards. It's fun here as long as you steer clear of the Canadians.

Welcome!
Dysart is such a talented author. I am pleased as a comic book reader that he has chosen our little medium of funny books to ply his craft.
