He's the graphic designer who's done all the VEI logos, trade dress, etc for the relaunch.

Guess the letters seal it. Just going by the curve it could have been more awesome:

Good point, Magnusr.

Guys... we're wrong. It's not HARDCorps. :|








It's PSI-Lords. :D

I guess Dino was being more mysterious than we originally thought....But obviously it's not Magnus, and PsiLords sux, so I it's gotta be HARD Corpse :D

Ha! Funny thing is, I'd be cool either way! Except that I can totally see HARD Corps making more sense in the current VEI world than Psi-Lords. Maybe some day though.

Rai would be my first choice for the next title, but a well-conceived HARD Corps is a close second! This is very cool - wonder if it is just going to be an appearance instead of a new title though... Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Rian designed the Ninjak logo as well...

Yes. Me thinks this will be a tease for an appearance (a la Ninjak) followed by a new series announcement for Rai (a la Shadowman). At least that's what I'm hoping for :hope:

We may have stumbled onto a Valiant publishing pattern, ala the variant cover publishing pattern... :hope: :thumb:

I think Rian has had a hand in most (if not all) of the relaunch logos.

Or perhaps the tease for Rai was the same as the tease for Eternal Warrior and that would be the guest first appearance?

I think I'm guessing HARD Corps with Livewire as a major player, it would make sense evolving out of the Harbinger Wars as that is when I think we'll see a lot about PRS and Harada's group.

Livewire can control machines and was Harada's right hand, PRS has nanotech and she knows a lot about Harbingers. I think it's even possible she is(was) a PRS mole in Harada's organization, she may have figured out how to download power sets and has been scooping them from the Harbinger foundation this whole time.

I think Ninjak, Hard Corps (with Livewire) and Rai (if the whole Bleeding Monk thing pans out) are well set for debuts.

Eternal Warrior hasn't had enough character development for me to care much about him up to this point, hopefully that is rectified with the rest of the arc and the upcoming #0 issue.

Or maybe it's all a huge psyche and were getting Quantum and Woody facepalm
