Is anyone a Valiant fan?
I've only collected a hand full of Valiant's stuff, and hope to get my hands on more.
For those of you who don't know:
As I said, I've only had a chance to collect a sparse few, namely:
Solar (Originally Dr.Solar from Gold Key comics)
Ninjak
and Magnus Robot Fighter.
Valiant comics are somewhat uncommon now, since Valiant was bought up by Acclaim (now also defunct) in 94. Acclaim redid and redistributed most of Valiants characters (namely Solar, Ninjak, Manowar, Turok, etc). I haven't read any of Acclaim's versions, but I'd be willing to bet that they're terrible.
Also, lucky you if you have any Gold Key comics.

Seriously, though, Valiant always interested me, but I never got to read their stuff.
Some of the concepts behind Valiant characters were pretty cool. I thought the H.A.R.D. Corps were a cool idea (in spite of their name).
Basically they could call in and ask for any one superpower at a time: intangibility, flight, ultra-mass, etc., but they couldn't fly and be invulnerable at the same time.
Man is that what thier thing was, that does sound hella awsome. I really liked the few issues of Dr. Mirage, Magnus Robot hunter and XO Manowar that i was able to get my hands on.
I really liked Xo Mano war, an barberic warrior kidnapped by aliens and returns to earth wearing one of their foot soldier armored skin suits, man, its pretty much
Hey guys what if we mixed, Captain America, Iron Man, Venom and Conan the Barbarian, bowel full of awsome sauce with a side of ass kicker juice.
