This is now one of my favorite VEI covers :D

If VEI ever make a Saturday morning kids cartoon show ... This is what it should look like.

Love the Jay cover, specifically the Q&W characters. I'd like to see if V-Ditti can find a few fun lines for them in this issue (since they appear on multiple covers, and to integrate them into the Universe a bit more) instead of just being background characters (ala The Valiant) but I suspect that will probably be the case.

That being said, I think V-Ditti has plans for Saana, she just hasn't had a whole lot to do so far and this (plus Dead Hand) will probably change it. Just hoping they don't fridge her.

Like when the Circus if Crime crashes the wedding of Yellow Jacket (aka Hank Pym, Giant-Man, Ant-Man and Goliath) and the Wasp. :thumb:

And yet another excuse for a VEI universe gathering in one story. Is that realistic?

I think V-Ditti will make this event worthwhile and it can only help Saana's character. And that cover rocks, especially everyone's expressions. :thumb:
I hope they would do something more along the lines of X-Men 30. I love that wedding issue.

Saana is such a non-character, not looking forward to this issue

I'm gonna operate under the assumption that they realize readers have no attachment to her, but still have an interesting angle that will justify it.

The bird on the right. Harada? I seem to recall an early 'garden' scene between Toyo and Pete...

Something else that occurs to me in looking at this right now - that's a mighty big batch of strong female VEI characters *still alive*, fighting over the bouquet. Shame we have lost a few others along the way, but nice to note just how many good ones there are... :thumb:

Hehe good observations in regards to the leading ladies of Valiant.
And the bird, we've seen before.

The final cover will be a bit different... ;)
Glad y'all like the cover. It was a fun one!

I quickly scanned the first four issues of Harbinger looking for the bird (thanks, Humble Bumble!) but I didn't see it. It's Harada, yes? What issue?

I believe it was #17.

It is a European Goldfinch that Aric saw they were in Romania. Apparently, Aric's wedding was such a big to-do that it decided to make an impromptu migration. Or maybe Aric brought it along on board the Vine carrier when they migrated?

This will be an epic continuity question for the ages... I demand a logical answer! :P

They probably insisted on bringing their livestock and chickens, so not out of the realm of possibility that some finches may have hitched a ride too. Apparently, lots of people keep them as pets as well.
