That sounds awesome, but reading the title made me think Pete, Kris, Faith & Torque were reuniting in the arc. At least we have teases of a new Harbinger book.

At least this should put to rest the confusion from some on Imperium ending at #12 because of the word "Finale."

The operative word there being "should."

As I understand it, the series is ending at #12, but then they're rebooting it the following month and picking up the prior numbering with issue #13.

Yep, they did that with #11, too.

Man, I am so sick of that marketing gimmick. Next thing you know, there will be a #14 a month after #13 comes out. Where does it end? Can't they just stop publishing sequentially numbered books every month? What a cash grab.

Sorry, I've not had a lot of time to read the boards lately: What is all this about Imperium being "Rebooted" and then 'restarted' at issue #14? Doesn't that just mean the series is continuing as per normal? Can someone fill me in on this?

Also a bit disappointed by the deliberately misleading title of that article. It's a long time now since Livewire was associated with a Harbinger book. If the inclusion of Livewire in this comic makes it a 'Harbinger' book, then one could argue that as it's had Harada in every issue since #1 that the whole comic has been another 'Harbinger' book. I understand that the tagline there is to grab attention, but come the *SQUEE* on...

The tagline is about creative team, not the characters.

I'm waiting for the full on war against Harada. Unity, Hardcorps, Armorines, etc all invading the Foundation Zone. Make this happen.

We're just joking around. Some had misread the use of the word Finale to mean Imperium was ending at issue 12, when it really meant the Vine arc was ending. This is just poking fun at that.

Ah, gotcha. I'm a few months behind on my Valiant reading now, so I don't think I've even started reading that arc yet!
Cheers!

Love the idea of Dysart writing Livewire again and the idea of a Palmer/Gravedog fight makes me feel like I'm twelve again. Anytime H.A.R.D. Corps makes an appearance I'm interested. Hopefully, we'll get some interaction between Livewire and Stronghold again.

'Interaction' :hm: We know what you mean Spylocke, you don't have to mince words here. We're all up for seeing an airtight mmmf with Livewire, Stronghold, Palmer and Gravedog too :thumb:

Yeah, I'd be up for that. Um, I mean, that would be cool.

But seriously, good matchup.
