Good bye, Carter.

Alas, I hardly knew you...

but you'll be missed.
What if Carter lives on within Harada? :hm:
I don't think we've seen the last of Carter. He's too awesome to throw away. I personally think he going to bother Fred Bender/Dr. Eclipse character with a much cooler spin.

I would love to see Carter as a one shot/self contained mini, almost as a prequel to the 1969 Harbinger Wars...

Isaiah/Little Castle...me too. Glad we are getting an issue focusing on Animalia in Harbinger, though. Shes a cool character with her cartoon animal forms. Maybe Isaiah will get a focus issue, too.

I hate to say it, but I didn't really care much for many of the psiot kids. To be honest only Telic and Cronus were all that interesting. Oh, and Hive.

I didn't really dig Hive to be honest. I didn't think that his ability to absorb people's psyches was really all that useful or interesting. And although we may be yet to see what the Zygos twins can actually *do*, it seems as though their particular psychic link is a bit of a duff ability as well.

I think Animalia's abilty is really entertaining :D Cronus's abilities are obviously useful... Traveller and Telic have a couple of the coolest abilities though :)

I thought the 4 "Alpha Team" members that Dysart focused on (Cronus, Telic, Traveler and Hive) were pretty interesting. Cronus for obvious reasons, Telic because of her power set, Traveler for the mystery of his "witch-tunnels", and Hive especially at the end with Astral and the Chinese zombies in his head. I really think a crazy Hive would make for a cool villain.

Other than that, Animalia was the only other one I really cared for, so I'm glad she's the focus of an upcoming Harby issue.

Death to the Zygos Twins!

He didn't set out to be evil, he was twisted into an evil beast because of the things he was forced to see, do, and absorb. He'd make a GREAT villain.

Astral could serve as the Dr. Jekyll to his Mr. Hyde.

Really, I think this idea has tons of potential, and I hope that's where Dysart is headed with the character!

This is the main reason I said I thought Hive was interesting. I could totally see one of the consciousnesses taking over periodically. Especially a strong mind - Carter, perhaps? (He jumps from the dark recess of Harada's mind he's been hiding in, into Hive)

You bring up an interesting concept there, Dunlow - one that would be a nice echo of something from VH1 Harbinger. What if Carter did still exist as a piece of consciousness in Harada's mind and was able to leap into another mind like Hive's at some point? It's similar to how Harada was able to transfer his conscience as per RAI #0... Could be a cool wrinkle on that old idea... :hm:
