Harbinger: The Beginning - initial details revealed! 5/24

[magnusr]

Awesome details! 0-7 and a new story by Jim Shooter?!?! This is gonna be a GREAT collection. I'll be telling my shop to order one for me when I go in today!

I wonder how they copyrightwise dealt with that guy in a red suit in issues 5 and 6?

They probably have (and have had) existing reprint permissions...
It's the new stuff that would probably need a new agreement.

It wouldn't surprise me if Dino offered a special edition to the fans on this site. May a signed version? He has to have something special for us, right?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Unbelievable............The news that Jim is contributing is even bigger news than the book itself. I'm speechless!

I wonder though, is this old material previously unreleased or is this a story conceived by Jim since his departure in 1992 just for this new release? If this is a story of recent origin, does this mean Jim is involved with VEI in its relaunch attempt? I'm sure we'll have the answers very soon.

I haven't bought a new comic since I moved. I guess I'm gonna have to check out the LCS here and make sure they will be ordering some. And I would so be all over a special edition version.

I think it's safe to say everyone here is doing a big happy dance over that bit of info.....

Makes sense.

Hey Greg...

I believe Diamond always solicits 1 week in advance , via online, before Previews comes out...

[davidb]

I'm definitely grabbing this. Is there any word on the exact in-store date yet?

I'm also wondering how Shooter's origin of Harada if and will vary from the origin story in Harbinger Files #1.

[Ryan]

So happy to hear this news!

Now the wondering starts, who's drawing the new Shooter story? It could be prose, but I doubt that. And will it lead into a new Harbinger series written by Shooter, picking up where 7 leaves off?!?!?! (we can still dream, right? )

Another big thanks to everyone who's making this happen!

Really, what else do we need to say? I'll be sure to pick this up by whatever means necessary.

Maybe we'll finally find out if it was Sting that was gay. Ok, that said-and that was mostly a joke, all-I am very eager to see how Shooter's Harada origin differs from the one in HF #1, which was not bad, but still left a lot to be desired. What I liked about it, was that it was consistent with Harada's behavior and seemed to take place within established continuity, not always a hallmark of the late '93 and on books.

$25 for 8 issues and a new story. And it's a HC. This is a great deal.

My only beef is that we lose JJ's coloring.

I tip my PSU hat to the VVI.

Yeah I love the coloring of the originals, hopefully it's more of a re-mastering than a re-coloring.

I knew you'd come around eventually.

I don't frequent any other boards. Those who do, could you all mention this and put up links to that new web site? (and heck, this one too)

I'll alert the backwaters of the internet I crawl on.

Any idea why they would do a re-coloring? Something production related?
