HARBINGER Ongoing Series Arrives in June From Valiant

March 2, 2012 by The Comic Book Critic

READ MINDS. BEND STEEL. BREAK ALL THE RULES

Valiant Entertainment is relaunching Harbinger as an ongoing monthly series in June 2012. Writer Joshua Dysart and artist Khari Evans will be the creative team behind the relaunch of one of Valiant’s most popular titles, which Valiant is calling an “unflinching modern update.”

This is a series that, if handled properly, will be a huge hit for Valiant Entertainment. I’m hoping it holds up well compared to the original series by Jim Shooter and David Lapham.
