This art looks fantastic. I'll admit I have never been a huge fan of Harbinger (don't really like "team" books) but I'm definitely going to give this a shot. Looks great!

From the bottom of that story:

HARBINGER #1 -- ON SALE JUNE 6!
Written by JOSHUA DYSART
Art by KHARI EVANS
Cover by ARTURO LOZZI
Pullbox Exclusive Variant by MICO SUAYAN
Variant Cover by DOUG BRAITHWAITE
QR Voice Variant by JELENA KEVIC-DJURDJEVIC


Looks like more pullbox variant exclusives and another QR voice variant .... who speaks this time?

Pretty sure it's Harada... or Chandler...

I will guess Toyo, not Pete.

[Daniel Jackson]

So X-O first, Harby second...EW next?

[etos45]

Very excited that it's Harbinger being released next! I can't wait to see what the cover(s) look like (and the logo for that matter). It looks like they're going to be adding more back story to Harada in there.

[etos45]

So X-O first, Harby second...EW next?

I'm thinking Bloodshot... I wish Eternal Warrior came next, though, or Rai.

[MarrowMan]

I could care less what comes next. I do hope for ShadowMan though.

[MarrowMan]

If there is a Pete/Toyo QR Voice cover, My parody is to have their lip NOT MOVE. Ya know cause they are telepathic n stuff.

I wonder who that is in the 1st 3 pages.

With the movie news you could be right about Bloodshot. I would rather see EW or Rai first though.

[MarrowMan]

No damnit, ShadowMan next, are y'all lissenin?

[Elveen]

Bloodshot WILL be next, in July.

After that..... I'd think (just guessing) a bit of time to let the 3 books grow.....

But I would think that some of these: EW, Shadowman, Aram, Archer, Ninjak, (and hopefully) Darque, will be mentioned or brought into the books. I think VEI will honor a Valiant tradition of having character 1st appearances in other books (Jack in XO #4, Rai in Magnus #5)

The one thing that I am really wondering about is Rai. I think Rai and Japan is one of there best concepts, but he worked so well in the context of the Magnus book. I wonder if they are going to make Rai the key to the future timeline, or if they have something else in mind.

Harada's wife? Looking for him?
(I'm assuming Harada killed the meditating monk.)

[iggy101us]

Maybe Rai and Timewalker will be the future titles.

Eternal Warrior lived into the 41st century too don't forget, and possibly Ivar & Aram too, if you forget about Rai #0

[Elveen]

Harada's wife? Looking for him?
(I'm assuming Harada killed the meditating monk.)

But it looks like she had powers too....... do you think Harada would marry anyone? Especially someone with powers? Would he want to sire a potential rival? He does not seem like the sharing or trusting type.

I can't wait for the new Toyo. I think he might be Valiant's single best character. Well maybe Darque, but he is right up there.

I've been wondering much the same. I really hope they can keep all of the early elements that made Rai such a great book. I'm just not sure how well Rai would work without the future aspect.

Me no forgetto. I guess they could have Gilly in the future and modern books. That might be confusing.

I guess I realize that I'm VERY excited to be just talking about it.

Very True same here.

My guess is that he only fears those with powers to rival his. If his wife had powers, they wouldn't be anywhere near his own.
He surrounded himself with people with power, but Pete was the only one he ever feared, right?

Well, not just the movie deal, isn't he also the third story in the FCBD issue? So you have to figure on him being next.

I think he feared Solar a whole hell of a lot more, since he couldn't read his mind.

Yeah, good call. I was only thinking of harbingers he might have feared.

I was thinking it was the lady in the story that came with the HC. I know it's a reboot, but there's no sense in tossing that character to the side.

Noriko Harada (his wife) was in the Harbinger HC.

The other person was "Madame Rowena", but I don't think she was of Asian descent.
