I've basically given all but 2 issues of Harbinger the "perfect read" stamp of approval with the 2 issues that weren't perfect being "damn good", so I'm so glad to see these books getting the praise they have been. Consider me chomping at the bit to read Harbinger #0, it seriously can't come fast enough.

This will be both artistically beautiful and a great story, given the depth Dysart has been giving the characters and plots. :thumb:

Will make those 90s zero issues (Harada files, ugh) look like a mockery.

Beautiful art and a compelling story. This is a story that humanizes Toyo and shows strands of his life today spanning back to when he was a child. Like Rumpelstiltskin, Dysart spins gold from straw yet again.

please don't put the Harada Files in with the original zero issues...post unity trash that was...

this zero does truly expand on the concept though... :thumb:

I've been waiting for something that balances the tilt of the title. Not that I think we'll ever see Harada in a neutral or good light but some backstory that contributes his conflicted villain persona, ala Lex Luthor in the Smallville tv series. That was an awesome character.

I hate you guys. :P
I just glanced at the art from the previews, and with all due respect to former artists on this book (I liked some of those issues a lot, artwise- #2,7,8 for example), I WISH Mico Suayan would be the interior artist for a while. It just fits right in with the emotional, heavy stuff that Dysart writes.

Dan is the current recipient if all of my nanny boo boo hate right now (well I had a little left for Chiclo), so you're safe, Elveen.

Just got my pull list email from Comixology and Harbinger 0 is the featured comic for the week!

Wow. I loved this issue. 10/10 for me.

The only possible negative I could think of was that I don't think this is a great jumping on point for new readers. I'm sure some will try it based on the hype, but to be honest, if I hadn't read Harbinger 1-8, I don't know if Harbinger #0 would entice me to try them.
