This excellent comic takes us inside the mind of a character that is a fundamental part of the Valiant universe, since he is one of the villains par excellence of this editorial, this comic will allow us to go to the roots of the character, to know his mind and his motivations, surely this will make us doubt if effectively Toyo Harada is a villain or if on the other hand he is a new type of social hero.

Although it's still too early to call this series a masterpiece, if the quality remains consistent for the next five issues, then I won't have any hesitation in doing so. Is it the best place to start reading about Toyo Harada? Probably not, but this is a shining light on 2019 the comic book landscape, and firmly establishes the miniseries as a solid early contender for this reviewer's Best of 2019 list. Read Full Review

The Life and Death of Toyo Harada is a tense, action-packed thriller with elements of sci-fi and horror weaved in. It breaks down one of the most intriguing characters in the Valiant Universe in a way that humanizes him. It doesn't excuse all the horrible things he's done, but it does provide some valuable context. This is a series to watch. Read Full Review

The Life and Death of Toyo Harada #1 is a hard issue to describe to those who aren't familiar with Toyo Harada comics. For fans of Imperium, this issue is nearly perfect. Everyone else should check out Harbinger and Imperium before trying this one because it isn't great for beginners at all. Read Full Review
The Life and Death of Toyo Harada #1 is a solid start to this series. This issue takes an already fascinating character and adds another intriguing layer. There's a lot of potential in this story line. Harada has big plans in terms of shaping the world by directly impacting the technological advantages and disadvantages. However, his team is almost at its breaking point due to internal pressure and worldwide pressure. And I can't wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review
Neaty accessible, but not at the expense of its scope, heart or action, The Life and Death of Toyo Harada might just end up being a volume worth your shelf. Read Full Review
As a first issue, it’s bad. As issue #17 of Impeiurm, it’s a good start to a new arc.
Gone are the days where comic book writers wrote with the idea that every comic is someone’s first comic. This issue assumes that you read Dysart’s Harbinger and Imperium books and doesn’t even give you a title page recapping the story so far.
Must read if you are a fan of Dysart’s Harada epic so far, but a compete skip if you aren’t caught up on the overall story
