Gotta go with Harbinger Wars. Great read, great art.

I think Harby 11, XO 12 and Bloodshot 10 would be next in that order.

I agree completely with Bugsy, those four books in the same order for me as well.

Hard choice for me but Harbinger Wars #1 was best followed by X-O #12.
If I just can't be me ,and the Arrow isn't enough.. then maybe I should be Ra's al Ghul

1) Harbinger Wars #1 - Art and Story brilliant
2) Harbinger #11 - HW tie in. Another great read - Harada backstory
3) A&A #9 - Fantastic ending to the "Wrath of the Eternal Warrior" story
4) X-O #12 - Great intro to Planet Death
5) Bloodshot #10 - Very good issue - the shocking death of Pulse
6) Shadowman #6 - some cool things happening but not nearly as strong as the last issue. The art was all over the place

There is just the slightest sliver of a difference, but Harbinger 11 edges out HW 1 as my favourite this month. HW 1 may be the better book overall, but I enjoyed the particular events & dialogue with the renegades & the 60's Harada scenes a lot.

Too close to call for me.

Loved X-O 12, Harbinger 11, Bloodshot 10, and Shadowman 6.

And I thought that they were all better than Harbinger Wars 1.

Harbinger Wars was good, had great art, and a great ending but was a little slow.

I think that Shadowman 6 deserves at least one vote, so I'll give it mine.


P.S. Baron Samedi was awesome.

My vote goes to Bloodshot #10, best issue of the series yet.
