HARBINGER immerses you in a world where the Renegades, super-powered teens, defy the law and confront their own complex realities.

Led by psionic Peter Stanchek, these outcasts evade authorities while traversing the country. Their quest transcends mere escape; united, they confront the Harbinger Foundation and its enigmatic leader, Toyo Harada. Joining forces with other troubled, powerful youths, they aim to dismantle Harada's empire. This series offers new readers a dynamic, fresh perspective on the superhero narrative.

Contains the first appearance of the Renegades, Toyo Harada, Faith, and many other Valiant Universe characters! The series is masterfully written by Joshua Dysart (Swamp Thing), and features the artistic talents of Khari Evans (Thor), Barry Kitson (The Adventures of Superman), and Lee Garbett (Batgirl).
Joshua Dysart co-created and wrote the cult hit comic book series Violent Messiahs in 1997. Since then he has done work for virtually every major comic book publisher, including DC COMICS, VERTIGO, Dark Horse, Image, IDW and Penny Farthing Press. He wrote the comic book adaptation of the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for Art Asylum, authored the one-shot Van Helsing: Beneath the Rue Morgue (an original story featuring the character from the Universal film) and penned Skull & Bones: A Monster House Story, which was tied into the Sony animated children's film. He's also had his comic books included in the packaging for both The Age Of Conan MMO computer game from Funcom and the Hellboy platform game from Konami. He has written a two volume 270-page graphic novels for Avril Lavigne entitled Make 5 Wishes published by Del Rey Manga/Random House which has been printed in over seven languages as well as digitally distributed throughout Asia.
