I know a few people don't like these QR covers, but when you place your phone over it and that character starts speaking to you, it is pretty geek-tastic.

I think we will be seeing a lot of QR codes on books as time goes on...You could get movie trailers, animated clips, motion comics, etc. It's pretty brilliant, really.

"I think [the original] 'Harbinger' was successful because it did things that Marvel and DC at the time weren't doing," Valiant CCO Dinesh Shamdasani told fans at this year's C2E2 show. "You had a great, rounded, realistic set of characters, facing troubles that were very modern in its time. You had a lot of scenes that were in hotel rooms and vans; you didn't have fights on moon bases. It's going to do things that you are not seeing from other publishers."

In the original series they were on the moon by issue 3.

I think that was aid tongue-in-cheek. Dino is a Valiant fan who now owns the company. He knows his Valiant history.
