So I bought the Harbinger HC today

I went to my LCS today. I had only planned on getting the newest issue of Green Lantern Corps but the guy at the front told me they just got the Harbinger HC. They had it displayed right by the door and had a sign by it on the shelf. They even rated it as one of their hot picks for the week. The guys no how big of a Valiant fan so we BS about VEI for a while. Needless to say they are really excited and are hoping for new comics.

Oh yeah and all of their books were the red sticker variant

Ok I read the new Harada story and am totally confused. WTF was up with the wife cutting herself? Anyone want to explain?

Nope

I guess VEI will just have to publish new comics that explain that plot!

A GN is not enough.

They might as well just do a comic book adaptation of the movie and be done with it.

Don't ever say "be done with it" about VALIANT. Look what happened the last time. It took ten years to see new VALIANT.

Then let's hope they do more than GNs.

love the harada story. read it a dozen times already

theres a good discussion of this elsewhere but what i take from it is that noriko is a cutter, a lot of women cut themselves when thier emotional problems overwhelm them. something about physical pain overriding the emotional pain.

as his wife noriko has to be there to support harada (we dont know if she does this of her own free will), she knows what he does and what he is trying to do to help the world but when she hears that another kid (torque) was killed she begins to doubt her faith in harada. also the fact that it is the day that she is supposed to go to see rowena makes it more diffcult to hear. basically shacking up with harada made her nutty...kinda funny that haradas wife is bat *SQUEE* crazy

I am confused about the significance of the date in her planner. The way I read it she seemed to have significance of that day.

she goes to see rowena every year on that date. to remind herself about where she and harada came from, what she is protecting, keep herself honest, all that *SQUEE*. not sure why she picked that day to see rowena annually

I'm sorry but I am at a total loss as to what you mean by 'red sticker variant'.

I ordered two copies of the book from Amazon and both had a red sticker on the shrinkwrap cover. What's the regular version? No sticker?
