Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Harbinger #17 by New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart and Valiant superstar Clayton Henry! Ten days ago, Peter Stanchek and the Renegades barely escaped the clutches of Toyo Harada in the epic final battle of the Harbinger Wars…or so they think. As reality unravels, Valiant’s teenage superteam is about to discover the true extent of the collateral damage from the summer’s blockbuster crossover event – and just what they sacrificed to make it out alive.

Meanwhile, an unforeseen threat to Toyo Harada’s empire lies dormant deep within the walls of Harada’s own fortified prison facility. Meet Monica Jim – aka Animalia – another survivor of the three-way conflagration that decimated the Vegas Strip and a fellow P.O.W. inside the Harbinger Foundation. Just how does she factor into the Renagades’ “Perfect Day”? And could this savagely dangerous child be their only hope of escape from a perfectly designed prison of the mind?
