I loved the original incarnation of Valiant, and I have to admit that this relaunch has actually gotten me back into stores. I've been going on ebay and buying up a bunch of the old books that I miss reading, and I have to say that Unity was one of the best company wide crossovers ever done. I hope this new Valiant can pull off something like that.

I remember picking up the Alpha and Omega TPB back in 1994 because it came with a full sized poster of the giant panel formed (that and I wasn't about to drop the kind of money dealers wanted for the early issues) Solar was great until Acclaim took over, then it became super cheesy. I picked up a few of the later issues out of the quarter bin a while back and couldn't believe how awful most of the lines got in the end.

man I had that last issue. Issue 80 of a 4 issue limited series. No clue what happened to it over the years, but I was completely lost with what was going on at the end of the run.

Let us know if you make it all the way through, I've never gotten past the Chaos Saga in most of the books although I did finish XO and Solar and was appalled by how bad they turned out towards the end. The Crossover they did with Image really was a low point too, bad artwork, crappy writing and late books from the Image side ruined it completely.

They're bringing Shadowman back! http://ifanboy.com/articles/teaser-valiant-casts-a-shadow/ I always had a place in my heart for Shadowman because it took place in my hometown, I hope this works out well.

I think they got rid of Shooter before they became the biggest indie, I seem to remember his term ending not long after Unity.

Rhyno posted:It was also used to unify (hence the name) all the books into one universe. But they'd already done that by having Solar in the 3rd issue or so of Magnus fighting the spider aliens. The original Unity was WAY better than the other crossovers Valiant put out in the 90s. I ended up picking up most of the books over the years, and I still don't know what the hell was going on with Chaos Effect.
