Valiant has officially announced HARBINGER WARS; a four
issue miniseries that has BLOODSHOT and HARBINGER going Head-to-Head! HARBINGER
WARS will encompass twelve issues: the four issue miniseries, HARBINGER 11-14,
and BLOODSHOT 10-13.
For decades, Toyo Harada's Harbinger Foundation and the
government's own Project Rising Spirit have been waging a secret war over the
rarest resource known to man – the unwieldy superhuman telekinetics known as
harbingers. Over the years, they've each collected a small army of these
empowered children to inflict their agendas on the world. But now the reformed
harbinger hunter known as Bloodshot needs to atone for his crimes – and he's
going to start by releasing two dozen of the most volatile harbingers from
their PRS prison and into the world.
Bloodshot wants to lead them. Toyo Harada wants to
control them. And, Peter Stanchek, a teenage renegade with immense powers of
his own, wants to give them free rein. But the runaway children of PRS have
their own ideas for the future…and, as the body count rises, the Valiant
Universe will realize that power this immense cannot be contained. It must be
exercised. Who will survive the Harbinger Wars?
This April, the entwined destinies of Bloodshot, Peter
Stanchek and Toyo Harada will finally collide…and the most powerful forces in
Valiant Universe will be drawn into a battle without sides, without rules and
without mercy. Do not miss the first shot fired in HARBINGER WARS #1 (of 4) –
coming this April from Valiant!
"HARBINGER WARS #1 will mark a pivotal moment for
the Valiant Universe as three of our heaviest hitters go guns-blazing into a
conflict unlike any they've ever faced before," said Valiant Executive
Editor Warren Simons. "Joshua and Duane have crafted a character-driven
story that will make the Valiant Universe a very dangerous place for a hero in
2013."
"The Harbinger and Bloodshot ongoing series will
push full steam ahead, documenting the massive repercussions of the very first
clash between Bloodshot and the Harbinger renegades," added Chief Creative
Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. "We're designing each component to stand on its
own, and we couldn't be prouder of the three creative teams that will be making
Harbinger Wars a crossover unlike anything else on the stands."
