Who are your favorite Valiant characters?
I LOVE Harbinger the most. I recently completed my pre unity run of every Valiant title. Rai 3 was the last book. I met Shooter at Terrificon last year, and he signed my Magnus 1. Nicest guy you could ever meet. My single fav Chars are Rai and Faith from Harbinger.
My personal favorite characters are X-O Manowar, Eternal Warrior and Armstrong. I'm a nut for ancient history, and these titles feed that interest.
Part two coming soon.
Awesome video! I appreciate the time you took to explain the story behind Valiant. They are my favorite publisher despite the ups and downs over the years. Shadowman and Rai are my favorites!
Thanks! Valiant has been a personal favorite publisher of mine as well. I'm currently writing part two. I intended this to be one video, but as I wrote part one, I realised there was quite a bit to say.
@@AnubisCEF They certainly have an interesting history and the Acclaim era was nuts. Still wish they would have released that Bloodshot game.
X-O Manowar is my favorite Valiant character. Followed by Ninjak and Bloodshot. Nice Part 1.
Thank you for this! Love Magnus and Rai and SOlAR! honestly this universe was one of my favorite to dive into!
@@Ace_of_The_Reckoning one of my favorite comic universes. Highly underrated.
AH, the memories. Those BWS Solar covers are legendary. Things went downhill fast after Shooter left... good times
I just started watching this video because the Valiant universe is my all-time favorite shared universe in comics. Looking forward to watching this later. My all-time favorite character in all of comics is Ninjak or Ninja-K if you prefer. In Valiant comics, my top 57favorite characters (in order of most favorite to least favorite) are Ninjak, X-O Manowar, Toyo Harada, Sunlight on Snow, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, and Livewire. if current Valiant comics wants their resurgence efforts to succeed, they must get better writers, push a toy line, and have an animated series that goes with the toy line.
@@kaspercole7 We do need a really good Valiant toy line. I would them all. Sunlight On Snow was such an underappreciated character.
I started late with Valiant but I quicky fell in love with the universe and I would really love to see a crossover of Valiant with DC somday. some of My favorite characters are Peter Stanchek (Sting) AKA The Harbinger, XO Manowar, Divinity, Quantum and Woody, Shadowman and even though they are no longer published by Valiant Solar Man of the Atom, Turok and Magnus Robot Fighter.
THIS WAS ON POINT AND CAN'T WAIT 4 PT.2
Currently writi g and researching for part 2.
I loved Harbinger-the “Children of the Eighth Day” trade paperback remains a favorite.
Great first video, by the way. Hope you continue with the channel.
Thanks, currently writing and researching part 2. Definitely plan on more videos.
Valiant is my absolute favorite, particularly Shadow Man but I also really like Bloodshot and Ninjak. Punk Mambo and Doctor Mirage are fantastic.
Shadowman is a superb romp through the voodoo mythos. And Punk Mambo is such an underappreciated character.
I'll check out Part 2 but I feel like a lot of 90s Valiant was ignored here - like the "Birthquake" initiative from Acclaim that saw the books going biweekly, or the "Acclaim Comics Valiant Heroes" era with EiC Fabian Nicieza which produced such great books as Quantum & Woody. It also was notable that Jim Shooter himself returned for Unity 2000 which sadly wasn't even finished.
More upcoming? I’m trying to get into valiant comics since he the resurgence event is coming up
My favorite character's "Faith"😮😊❤
yessss I love her
My favorite, Valiant Comic character is Magus Robot Fighter ❤!
🔥💟🖤 AWESOME VIDEO 🖤💟🔥
The original Valiant run was the best comic universe debut, every title was written and drawn well and fit seamlessly together. After Unity and Shooters dismissal, the titles quickly went downhill. The recent stuff is hit & miss IMO. Harbinger was great, but I liked XO a little better.
THIS INTERESTS ME VERY MUCH - X-O MAN-of-WAR AND BLOODSHOT R 2 I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT 2 SAY I LIKE BUT MANY OTHER CHARACTERS AND GROUPS INTEREST ME ALSO - I JUST DON'T KNOW 2 MUCH ABOUT THEM!!!!!
😮
After I saw what Byrne did with some of my favorite characters after Jim Shooter left, I say Byrne was the one who stayed too long! When Shooter was Editor, he was the boss and didn't accept nonsense from creators who got too big for their britches! By the time I learned about Valiant, Jim Shooter was already gone!😡
I was thinking the exact same thing about Byrne saying Shooter stayed too long. Huh ??? When an employee says stuff like that about their boss,you know they're the problem.Shooter also made sure people made their deadlines,before he towed the line at Marvel,titles were criminally late.
The Robot 🤖 fighter was my favorite Rai and XO were not
Magnus robot fighter
