Valiant fans will love this book; all their favourites are on show and with the promise of other heroes and teams on the verge of introduction, sides have never been more cluttered or the reasons for choosing more complex.

So until Kindt, makes his Marvel, enjoy the complexities of heroes living in a non-heroic world where actions carry their own level of political gain and public retribution. Read Full Review

Harbinger Wars 2 #1 is a great start to the event with the way the situation is laid out. Livewire's actions are monumental so it's good this issue took time to address the consequences of them. It doesn't address the consequences affecting the entire world or at least the general population.However, I'm looking forward to next issue and seeing how things unfold now that the various sides are defined.

It's hard to say if I should be cheering for Livewire and the rest of these psiots or fear for them. Harbinger Wars 2 #1 set the stage for what is to be a hell of an uphill battle for this group of people who might have gotten too ahead of themselves in this war for survival. But then again, isn't that when those like them are at their most dangerous? This will definitely get worse before it gets any better when everyone is looking to make that big powerplay or show of strength early on. Read Full Review

This looks really good so far. Giorello's art is great. It's fast paced with a lot of stuff happening. If you're a Valiant fan then this is a must read book. It's setting up quickly to be an epic event. Hopefully Kindt can deliver, and knowing how good his work is, he should not disappoint. Much luck to the creative team. Pull this!
