We see what happened after Solar 3 and get a repeat of the story from the Harbinger 0 coupons, enclosed into a little story that is meant to show us more of how Harada ticks. It's a nice little issue, slightly rough in the edges but it works. The end seems slightly exaggerated.

It certainly has the "feel" of a Pre-Unity story to it, but it didn't go into things in enough detail for my satisfaction. A good little book, nonetheless.

Good book IMO as well. Harada's ruthlessness at the end on Dusty showed how evil he actually is. 4/5

i give it only a three. i did like it that it went back to the story in the coupons, but it gave us very little new info. we already know harada is evil at times. he does bad things. the story is too much rehash.

i did like the part about using his mind-reading abilities to gain his fortune-very good, and very plausible.

if shooter had had a hand in this issue, we would've got something that showed a brand new twist-or set us up for the future.

Agreed. Just look at the Harby HC for proof.

The working title for this issue was HARADA #0.

And THAT little tidbit adds nothing to this thread, I know.

I really liked this issue. :thumb:
