I always felt this issue was a bit of acap of a greatarc, and when this ws release it was pretty hyped (for a non-debut VALIANT book) and epitmized kick *SQUEE* comics to me.

Most people, myself included, hung in for Harby 25 and the climax of the Pete/Harada storyline. I think it didn't live up to expectations, especially after the 10 issues of hype that came before it.

Like I said in a earlier post here, it "should've have been" the book, I think this was a huge example of how VALIANT dropped the editorial ball after Mr. Shooter was ousted. Harbinger was Shooter's baby and after he left this book had the sharpest decline in quality in my opinion.

And so, I stick with my first choice, Solar 10.

Harby 25 was a good read, I liked the ending where Peter is just leaving and (at the time) you have no idea where he is going. However, I don't know if him just leaving fits in with the character, I would think after Unity he would have learned that you just can't abandon your life's battles.

There are so many good Magnus books, so many good Solar stories, Harbinger kicked *SQUEE*, X-O even moreso... and of course, my Rai........

Question is - are you going to read them in order? And will you bother with the ones that you know are not so good?

Heh... you must not know - I am a pre-Unity guy. I collected all the way to Chaos Effect, and don't have those issues anymore. So, my list would be pretty short. As far as order, why not???
