Like, old school 90s Valiant?
The ones I've read I read years later, but I remember liking what I read of Archer and Armstrong and Magnus, Robot Fighter.
I prefer Malibu's Ultraverse when it comes to defunct superhero lines. Prime, Firearm, Night Man, etc.

Prime was pretty good. I didn't read any others, though.

Archer and Armstrong, Eternal Warrior, Magnus, and X-O Manowar were the ones that I followed. I haven't read them in ages though. I might have to pull them back out now.

Prime was part of Malibu's Ultraverse, not Valiant. Understandable mistake, since there were a ton of "new universes" in the 90s.

Ah! Thanks, Kevin.  It was a confusing time - I was originally going to mention that I-Bots was a good Valiant comic, until I remembered that it was from the Tekno Comics imprint (another forgotten "universe", but one I liked). Warriors of Plasm was good, too....but that was published by Defiant Comics!

Archer & Armstrong 0-12 by BWS were amazing. I loved Shadowman and X-O Manowar(especially the Bart Sears issues), now if Sears had stayed on Turok I may have lasted longer than 3 issues on that book.

Harbinger was pretty good up to issue 25, or so.

Good writin gand sometime mediocre art. Harbinger, XO, ARcher and Amrstrong were good. Rai was hit or miss.
