Corps! It was one of the better Valiant comics. You can probably pick up the whole series for under 10 dollars and the quarter bin is usually filled with these gems. I loved H.A.R.D. Corps!

Frankly I never saw any reason to own or read any further issues, even though I can't see any sensible retailer pricing them at more than 20pence each. FACADE was better.

Harbinger, for example, was good right up until it jumped the shark. HARD Corps was too, but it started to drag and suffer from unresolved plotlines around about the time I ditched it. Actually, all the present-day Valiant titles started out good, or even excellent in the case of Shadowman, Solar and Harbinger, and then just sort of dragged and fell to bits. I stopped collecting just after they did an intra-company crossover where everyone fought Master Darque, who was basically a cross between Aleister Crowley and Prince. By that stage even the good titles were all soap operas with random plot twists calculated to irritate. And the bad ones were... Turok, Dinosaur Hunter. Or Ninjak. (Oh gods. Ninjak. Kill me now.) It never got as bad as Infinite Crisis or Civil War, though. Could anything? I liked most of the Valiant line. Harbinger, for example, was good right up until it jumped the shark.

Apparently they didn't throw enough silly words into the acronym, so they had to combine "explosion" and "exoskeleton" for the final one. That's awesome!

That book got me into comics, and still holds a special place in my heart. In fact, I still have that issue with FACADE somewhere in my long boxes. That is a crappy cover, though.

It looks like someone sprinkled back hair on his shoulder! But that's just 90s comics for you. Typical of the era, you know. As for the HARD Corp...I'll take your word for it. Maybe try and issue or two sometime. I love how the textures they did on Facade's costume just ended up making it look hairy. It looks like someone sprinkled back hair on his shoulder!

It looks like a mock-up that got printed by accident. The lettering is awful. The coloring is standard. The costume is beyond the pale. And why is Lance Bannon trademarked but Facade is not?

Just trying to peek at the comics in the middle without tearing the bag is good fanboy fun. I never read Hard Corps, but from the description it sounds like the kind of title you couldn't start reading without reading 30 more crossovers. What's a harbinger anyway? That used to be the reason I stuck with Marvel and DC, but now, even after the latest crisis, there is so much baggage I shudder to think what a new reader must feel.
