So it looks like Harbinger will be joining the Valiant relaunch this summer, too!

Harbinger Launch

I have to admit, I know absolutely nothing about Harbinger, or X-O Manowar, or really any of the Valiant titles. The only thing I remember were those X-O Manowar Chrome Covers that everyone jumped on.

What do you like about them, Johnny? Worth picking up?

I like Magnus the Robot Fighter, Rai and Turok I had some as a kid but at that time their popularity pushed the prices through the roof so I couldn't get them. Now I'm just getting back into them but they excite me and make me happy.

Picked this one up just now can't wait till it comes in so I can read it!

Valiant has released more news on their re-launch. The third title will be Bloodshot.



And they will be releasing news of a 4th title very soon as well.

And just announced, the 4th Valiant re-launch will be Archer and Armstrong.

Man I'm so excited! I found a list of the order in which to read all the Valiants so I'm super excited! if anyone decides to take the plunge, it's here: www.valiantfans.com

I read some of the older stuff, but for some reason, I just couldnt get into them. Guess Ill have to re-read them to see if my thoughts have changed. I know the art work wasnt all that appealing to me when they came out. Hopefull that will change with the re-launch.

I think I picked up some of the older stuff way back when, but like Chris I never got into it, looking at the new picks that Tad has posted it looks like they are going for it again and looks like it might be worth picking up a copy or two to give them another go.

I picked up XO-Manowar last weekend and I have to say Im impressed. The art looks fantastic compared to the first series stuff and the story has me hooked all ready. It had a preview for Harbinger in it and it looks sweet too. Harbinger is on sale in June with Bloodshot in July and Archer and Armstrong in August. If they keep up like this, I might be a Valiant fan soon. Hope they have plans to do Turok and Ninjak also.

Always like the Valiant stuff till the end of the Unity crossover. After that I think they got caught up in the comics bubble of the 90ies, wanting to pump out title after title, instead of focussing on their existing line and keeping quality up. A shame, cause I loved reading Harbinger, Magnus, Dr. Solar, X-O and Archer & Armstrong.

I'm probably going to try the trades when they get around to publish those.

I've read the first issues of X-O Manowar, and Harbinger so far. I knew nothing about either going in, though. X-O Manowar was good, but not what I expected. Not in a bad way though. Based on the cover I just had it in my head that it was going to be like a space comic. It looked like a space suit to me. SO it was cool that it took place in Medieval times.

Also, I LOVED Harbinger! In fact, I made it my pick of the week on the podcast. I thought it was really interesting, and really well written. I'm pretty hooked for the next issue. It seems like there's lots of different ways it can go to stay interesting.
