I really am glad I gave this series a shot and I think any superhero fan, or just anyone who knows what it's like to be different, gives this series a shot too. I know a lot of fans are dealing with superhero fatigue, but trust me this will freshen that right up. Valiant is doing new and different things, we have thrillers, horrors, action and now with The Harbinger, I think we get a wonderful mix of all three. Read Full Review
Rodriguez's artwork is exemplary here with this telekinetic tale that features an unsettling lead that could erupt at any given time. That combined with a stellar script and narrative crafted by Lanzing and Kelly makes for a killer return of one of Valiant's most popular characters. Read Full Review
Harbinger #1 is a hundred mile an hour explosive first issue that hardly stops to take a breath.

Make sure you get your retailer to add issue one to your pull list in October, Read Full Review

I can't vouch for how well this continues the story of the original Harbinger comics. That being said, I found The Harbinger #1 to be an interesting and effective introduction to the concept. Superhero fans would do well to give this series a try. Read Full Review
THE HARBINGER #1 is a rock-solid relaunch for the Valiant title with an interesting mystery about the main characters resurrection. The story is fairly accessible for new readers to the title while still giving existing fans plenty to like. The discoveries around whats happened to the city since Peter disappeared are relatively satisfying, and the art is serviceable. Read Full Review
This was really interesting. Kelly and Lanzing never fail to impress me with their intriguing introductions, characterization, and focus on the characters themselves. This should be a really great ride that I’m more than willing to stick around on.
