i just purchased the collected edition of the 1997 garth ennis shadowman run as well as the first trade of the new x-o manowar run. anything else good in nu-valiant?
even as a tween i could tell their shit was d-list but there was a noble component to their bottom feeding. creators less trashy in their anonymity than their glam image counterparts. even the logo is drab, looks like 1960s insurance company letterhead as opposed to the forever up-thrusting image phallus. hardworking, respectable garbage comics.

Thought the revive was going to be about this story - definite suspicions of ballot stuffing by Nu-Valiant associates:

Still, I'm sure that X-O MANOWAR #38 is a worthy successor to Kurtzman's Mad in the humour comics game

The Harveys have been stuffed by individual companies almost every year this century, Archie more than once (visible this year too). Kim Thompson used to lobby people to fill out ballots to counteract the extreme gameability of the process, but nobody has taken up his mantle (as in so many etc). Tbf, nobody takes them seriously as a result of this, so can't be bothered, either...
