Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Harbinger #5, from New York Times best-selling author Joshua Dysart and Harvey Award nominee Khari Evans! The first storyline of one of the year's most acclaimed series concludes with a bone-breaking, psyche-smashing battle for the fate of the Valiant Universe on October 17th!
It has all led to this. Peter Stanchek tried find peace within the Harbinger Foundation, but instead has found the ultimate betrayal. In their crusade to control Peter's untold power, the foundation's psychic shock troops have spilled innocent blood. Now Peter will unleash his full potential against their leader and the most powerful harbinger of all, Toyo Harada. Will this unavoidable collision transform Peter into a great destroyer - or will he be the tempest that finally topples Harada's dominion over the human race?
Alpha and omega. Teacher and student. Hero and villain. On October 17th, the boy who has nothing will go to war against the man who has everything. And soon the Valiant Universe will discover that everything must end - even the world. Steady yourself for the cataclysmic battle of Peter Stanchek and Toyo Harada in Harbinger #5 - in stores the same day as X-O Manowar #6!
And go behind the process that revamped and re-envisioned Valiant's greatest heroes for a new generation with the Harbinger #5 Character Design Cover, featuring exclusive art and design work by comics visionary David Aja (Hawkeye, Immortal Iron Fist).

Wow. He must not have seen the rape, forced overdose, killing of Italian army officers/guards or when XO put a goddamn grenade in a guy's chest. Which sounds over the top, but has all been beautifully executed.

So excited! I didn't know David Aja did design work for Valiant, but I can see it now. The man's thoroughly fantastic. Though I keep seeing previews for Valiant stuff and thinking it's this week, when it's still too far away. Tears!Looking for artists, know I won't find any. That blows.

Aja did all the character designs for Harbinger, Bloodshot, A&A (including Timewalker) and the Rai teaser. Djurdevic did XO and Zircher has done Shadowman, Ninjak and Eternal Warrior. Originally Posted by hunter_peterson

Maybe he was refering to Bloodshot being blasted to hamburger helper 3 times in the first issue, that was pretty tame Originally Posted by hunter_peterson

I just re-read Harbinger #5 and man, you can just feel the raw emotion of Peter while he's fighting inside of that crack house and back at Harada's place, it's as if he's desperate buy knows he much avenge his friend at the same time. I love this creative team, the way the writer actually writes Peter makes me want to just jump through the pages and help him out, it's really amazing how I'm drawn into feeling bad that he's lost his best friend and that he's stuck in this rut........until Faith stepped in to help. Just awesome plotting in my opinion, this book truly shines above 99% of the comics on store shelves month in and month out.
