Hi, I'm Joshua Dysart...

I love all the shades of grey.

you got me into comics... for i had never read one until Harbinger #1. Joshua Dysart until Harbinger #200

Dude! Awesome!!

But 200 issues is like seventeen years... Let's scale those expectations back a bit.

Stranger things have happened! Larry Hama's still writing GI Joe almost 200 issues in. It's about creating and owning a universe. How many chances in a lifetime will a writer have to create such a legacy?

It would thrill me to no end to see a healthy Valiant still putting out books in 15 years and you still writing the Harbinger book(s).

BTW, Welcome to the boards! I've really enjoyed tweeting my reactions to you as I read the books. It'll be nice to talk on here in more detail. Harbinger is still my favorite comic on the shelves (and I'm buying 25 or so a month). I am still moved deeply by the Torque intro. You've improved every single character, and introduced some intriguing new ones. I love all the shades of grey.

Keep up the phenomenal work! I'll certainly be along for the ride.

LOL But Larry Hama had a 12 year Hiatus (From G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. lol.

[MoonChild]

I need to go back n read so I can have some good questions!

Want to hear more of what Kris likes? Here's the spotify playlist I made while conceptualizing issue #6... it's all her music.

Double thanks. Both for further bringing Kris alive and also for sharing some nice music. Btw, does Kris understand French?

French class was mandatory for me until after 9th grade and I HATED it. The only French i can speak now is how to ask where the bathroom is and a few swears.

[Burrito Boy]

I'm seriously convinced that the French language is a practical joke the French are playing on the rest of the world.

My question: Is it okay for people to do bad things for good reasons? I won't qualify the question with caveats. It seems, to me, to be the underlying predicate of Harbinger.

I think that's a larger philosophical argument than we have time for here. Ultimately, as with anything, no absolute answer will be correct. Qualifiers and caveats and deviled-details are absolutely necessary to have a pragmatic discussion with a question like that. We can have a lofty philo-intellectual conversation, but probably not a pragmatic one. But you're right, Harbinger is very much concerned with that idea. We might not ever figure out the answer in our pages, but we'll probably keep posing the question.

You can't say a lot of stuff my favorite swear edit is s t rip club because it turns into piano recital

Nice! Let's try it! piano recital! I'm imagining that was discovered during Harby #7?

Actually, that censoring was put in place almost 10 years ago because one of our messageboard members was having a story told about him visiting a str. club.
He got a little freaked out because his wife was ALSO a member of this messageboard, so all stories about him became a little more innocent if you replace the club with 'piano recital'.

Best mod ever! I'm at work right now, and really trying to keep it together. Oh man, I needed that laugh. That's the best story ever.

Question.

1) In a fight (no guns AND no powers)..... who is the best fighter in the book?

I would guess Kris.

You put all the Renegades in the Thunderdome with no powers and I agree Kris would kick their *Squee*'s

That's impossible. The rules of Thunderdome clearly state "Two men enter, one man leaves." No women allowed!

All jokes aside, best of luck, VALIANT Entertainment hit a homerun hiring you. I look forward to many great years with you as head writer.

Fair enough. My question wasn't posed to elicit a specific answer, it's too open-ended; "good" and "bad" are subjective terms always open to interpretation and circumstance. It was more to underscore that ethical dilemmas always make for an interesting read and your run on Harbinger has certainly been that.

Thanks for making time for us.

My students could tell you the answer. And they even read Harbinger.
