Swierczynski, Dysart Wage "Harbinger Wars" For Valiant

[JaggedFel]

This looks pretty good.

Im running out of enthusiastic comments for Valiant...

"awesome! Cant wait! Yay Valiant!" will have to do ;P

I think VALIANT's plan is if you just read Harbinger or Bloodshot your read won't be disturbed by the event and if some one just wants to check out just the event itself they can and everything will offer a complete story in itself. For those of us loving the VALIANT tapestry it will be a 3 course meal

I guess the mini is so that people who don't read one book or the other can still get the big story. I'm glad it's four issues and not 8 or 12 like Marvel's events tend to be. It doesn't bother me, because the event is a direct development of the stories of the books, rather than a plot-driven incident that happens and then takes over the books for months at a time (I'm looking at you, Fear Itself...)

I do agree on the Fear Itself comparision, but the level of disruption that it brought is rather implausible in the current Valiant with just 5 ongoings; my complaint is really directed at the fact that I didn't really get into Bloodshot and now I feel I gotta pick up the mini and his book to follow this storyline since I do want to keep reading Harbinger *sigh*

And on a side note I would love to see Rai return, but as I've posted before I dont see how he would work if not removed in time by many centuries as it used to be in VH1, wait and see I guess.

Yeah, I see what you mean. That's where I get frustrated from crossovers.

Never know, getting the Bloodshot issues could turn out to be a good thing if you end up enjoying them and find you want to follow the series again.

Agreed. But to the earlier point...

I have read and listened to many interviews with Warren Simons, Fred Pierce and Dino and I really believe they are all about accessibility for readers. They truly want each title to stand on its own, and while you could read all the titles and get a greater sense of the shared universe, they do not want to make that mandatory. I feel this is their goal here. Would they like you to start reading Bloodshot? Of course. But if they say you don't need to read that book to read, understand and enjoy the miniseries, I believe them.

New desk top, I rotated and cropped out the water mark.

Well thats cool if handled properly.

I'm kinda on the opposite side, I love Bloodshot and Harada, but don't care much about the Renegades.

[mystmaven]

I'm crazy about Harbinger, but have never looked at Bloodshot. I like the look of the covers of this Mini... I think the enterprise may be very interesting. Although I think it should be done sparingly, sometimes I believe that Marvel and DC do these 'Universe' issues too, too much to the detriment of the original series.

But yeah, I will surely be getting these!
