Does anyone here remember Valiant comics?

I feel really old now. I'm only 30 years old, though.

Yesterday, I was in my local comic shop buying the newest Savage Dragon and I engaged in comic talk with the regulars, the regulars being a lot of high school kids and younger kids, for that matter.

Bloodshot, Geomancer, The Second life of Dr. Mirage, Shadowman, Solar, Turok, Ninjak, Magnus..........

I even remember buying the bloodcurdling Image/Valiant crossover event "Deathmate".

Valiant went belly up somewhere in 1999 after a failed merge, I believe, with Acclaim Comics.

So, anyway, every one of these 18 and unders just gave me a blank stare when I mention all of this to them. One of them says, "Turok, the video game character?" I just hung my head and said yes. The only two people who knew what I was talking about were the comic shop owner and another older patron who I went to school with.

Go figure.

Imp, you old fart....oh wait, I'm 32....so am I.... miffed

Yes I do remember them. Talk to kids these days about G1 Tranformers, SNES any of the classic good stuff and they will look at you funny. Valiant is far from classic or great though.

Solar is one of the most powerful comic characters eva!

Hes not a bad character and should be picked up by DC or Marvel.

Yeah I remember buying "Magnus the Robot Fighter" when I was younger - I thought he was teh awesomest lol. "Rai" was another favorite of mine back then as well.

It was only when I got a bit older that I got into some better Valiant stuff (X-O Manowar, Solar, Doctor Mirage, etc.)

I used to buy Shadow Man and The Second Life of Dr. Mirage. I still have the Shadow Man issue with Aerosmith.

Heh, that's Armstrong (Aram) from the "Archer & Armstrong" series. The dude is immortal, nigh-invulnerable, and super strong, iirc.

Lol, those are actually the pants he wears... You just can't fully see them in that pic. The dude is/was the 'Joe Dirt' of the comic world, though.

Wasn't Ninjak part of that Universe?

Anywhoo, the 90s are gone but if you can remember The Ultravese Comics from Malibu then you really got into the trend.
