For me, Valiant's big appeal is the variety of genres that the titles cover; the superheroics of Harbinger, the sci-fi of X-O Manowar, the horror of Shadowman, the action of Bloodshot, the comedy of Quantum and Woody, and the.....everything of Archer and Armstrong!
We aren't presented with a choice of titles all about (eg) Superheroes, there is something for everyone.
I love how 'new' characters are being (re-)introduced within existing books. Having encountered Eternal Warrior within the pages of Archer and Armstrong, and now X-O, I am now very excited to pick up his own series. A lot more than if he had not appeared elsewhere before. The same applies for when/if Ninjak gets his own series. (Hopefully soon!)
On a similar tone, I love the way that Valiant has built up a shared universe. Whether it's a throw-away comment regarding The Vine or the summer event of Harbinger Wars, I love that it all feels part of the same world BUT without feeling that I have to buy every title released due to a myriad of cross-overs.
My favourite title? Depends which one I read most recently! But at a push I'd say Archer and Armstrong.
(I also live across the great Atlantic so have no objections to not winning!)
