Based on recommendations I got the first 15 or so X-O, and the first 10 harbinger. I've only just read 2/3rds of Manowar but I enjoy it. It's got elements of different series that I like and it blends them together, and it has characters that should be terrible by rights but actually okay. Although, there are these fascist overtones to it that I'm not really comfortable with. I mean, I get that he's a Visigoth but it still doesn't make him a particularly likable hero. edit: Harbinger - What is this mind control rape bullshit!?! Who wrote this? Chris Claremont? double edit: After thinking on it, I don't think it is explicitly suggested they had sex, but it certainly took me to a place I wasn't comfortable with. But I'm liking everything else so far. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Sep 26, 2013 |

Harbinger Wars - Harbinger - Bloodshot, as far as I know. I'm up to date with X-0 now and got the first issue of unity too

You should read probably read Harbinger and X-O before Unity and Harbinger Wars

X-0 was like one of the first titles released and it is definitely stand alone for quite a while. The whole Unity thing comes a lot later from memory. edit: Issue #19 to be precise.

I'm probably going to get Ninjak and Bloodshot when they drop because I really have to stop giving Valiant the short shrift by buying all their stuff on sale on comixology.

Preaching to the choir, but Ninjak is really great and I recommend picking it up.

Bloodshot Reborn #1 is predictably really great. I hope these things are selling okay because they've been cool as all getup.

Rusty Kettle posted:Harada and the rest of the characters are top notch, and the 'perfect day' arc is most likely my favorite comic arc. On that note Imperium has been good from what I've read and is pretty much all on sale and I think i'll start getting it regularly along with Ninjak and Bloodshot.

Goddamn Book of Death #1 was incredibly dope poo poo. Also, Ninjak continues to be very good, although we're still just building characters right now, hopefully when we get them in play it'll be even better.

Yeah I agree with everything that has been said. X-O is the corner stone of the who shebang, and most things interact/spin off that. As for recent stuff, Ninjak and Bloodshot Reborn are both 4 issues deep, great, and easy to pick up and I wholeheartedly recommend them both.

Rusty Kettle posted:The Fall of Bloodshot is excellent. Big spoilers for the issue ahead, but if you haven't read it, drop everything and give it a read. Yeah i finally remembered to pick this up. Another really great issue.

Speaking of, I'm not normally a variant cover guy unless the original cover looks terrible, but some of these Valiant ones have looked really good. Especially that retro Bloodshot #5

Genetic Toaster posted:I fell off of Valiant hard after Harbinger Wars. The stories were still great, but I got burned out following everything a single publisher was putting out. Valiant -> Book of Death Ninjak Bloodshot Reborn And I really like Imperium but that might just be me.

They really punch above their weight. As far as I know, the only title that under performs is Unity, which just hasn't seem to have caught on for whatever reason. Book of Death #1 sold like, 60,000 copies or something, and their trades often sell well also.

X-O posted:We could, and we should, but we won't.   X-O posted:I'm going to make a new thread in the next day or two with an updated OP running down all the books and properties from Valiant so that any new people might have a good idea of what's available and what follows what. If anyone has any suggestions or title ideas now's the time to post them. Valiant 2015 - Nanomachines, Son. (That's a terrible title but the only thing I could think of except for something like "Jim Shooter Did Nothing Wrong" Also: can't wait for the new thread.

Tell you what, one of the things I like about Ninjak is how the backup is serving as like a greater arc that ties everything in the main story together. Book of Death: Ninjak wasn't as great as the bloodshot one, and it exposed kindt's annoying habit of "oh no, they had done their super impossible to defeat thing! But little did they know I had already preempted that previously off panel and I was totally ready for that!!!" something about that style of storytelling feels childish I guess. What is the point of creating an obstacle for your hero if your hero has already overcome it without telling us? Anyway, ninjak is still great, I love it.
