The creative teams goal with this issue appears to be to establish the new status quo for Faith following her departure from Unity, Valiants supergroup, and her break up with Torque, one of the main characters from the Harbinger series that Faith initially starred in. With the assistance of Ax, a former Harbinger member, Faith has established an alter ego with not so subtle nods to a distinguished competitors major character. The events of the book feel as if they serve as the launching pad for whatever comes next. Faith #1 is a fun read, and it gives me hope for the future of the series.
