Harbinger Wars #1 Review

Powerful children have been hunted, imprisoned and tortured by rival programs who want to turn them into living weapons. The battle to control these kids explodes into full-blown war in Valiant Entertainment’s first crossover.

Harbinger Wars #1 kicked off this week with a tightly paced, action packed tale of renegade teens, dangerous powers, sinister agencies and a deadly assassin hoping to make up for past crimes.

The Harada Foundation and Project Rising Spirit have fought over the fate of gifted young people called Harbingers. Pete Stancheck and his team hate them both. Bloodshot is a living weapon who broke programming and wants to protect the young Harbingers he once hunted. Harbinger Wars has been brewing since Valiant’s rebirth last summer but you pick up this issue and enjoy the wild ride.

There are three artists in this issue (Clayton Henry, Clayton Crain, Mico Suyan) but it’s a perfect creative choice for the three forces vying for power. There are lot of characters but the writers make you immediately engaged and invested in the players. Joshua Dysart and Duane Swiercyznski craft an exciting premiere issue to a crossover that feels like great stories colliding and not just a marketing stunt.

Harbinger Wars continues in Harbinger #11 next week and Bloodshot #10 in two weeks!
