We’ve been very vocal about professing our love for Valiant’s reboot of Harbinger. Writer Joshua Dysart has turned this band of misfits with latent abilities into the best damn team book on store shelves. Now after months of building the storyline to a slow boil, Dysart is ready to make this book explode in this “Harbinger Wars” story arc. This massive crossover event will see “Harbinger” and “Bloodshot” cross paths in their monthly books, as well as duel it out in this new four issue mini-series. READ MORE

We’ve been very vocal about our love of Jeff Lemiere’s work. His run on “Animal man” is one of the best things to come out of the DC New 52, he’s killing it on “Justice League Dark”, and his new OGN, “The Underwater Welder”, will be remembered as one of the most critically acclaimed graphic novels of the year.

The folks over at Valiant Comics have been putting out loads of new books since their re-launch earlier this year. Leading the pack is writer Joshua Dysart and artist Khari Evans with their work on “Harbinger”. Every month the creative team have been knocking this book out of the park.

How are these two topics related? It’s really just a match made in heaven, as Valiant recruited Jeff Lemiere to create a variant cover for “Harbinger” #8. Check it below. READ MORE

One of the crown jewels of the Valiant re-launch has been Harbinger. Writer Joshua Dysart and artist Khari Evans have done a great job of capturing the core elements of the original series and modernizing them so the book doesn’t feel dated. Every month this book gets better and better with a focus on building a strong cast of characters that slowly reveal themselves to the reader. “Harbinger” is everything that the X-Men could be if Marvel weren’t concerned with bottom lines and killing characters every quarter for quick sales bumps.

This summer’s most interesting event in comics isn’t “Avengers Vs X-Men” or the “Court of Owls” crossover in the Batman books, it’s the return of the Valiant universe. The extensive cast of Valiant characters have been held in legal purgatory for years, but have now been triumphantly resurrected with the release of “X-O Manowar” #1 last month.

One of the most exciting titles to make its return to stores is Harbinger, which was previously one of the company’s flagship books. “Harbinger” is the story of Peter Stanchek, a teenager that is born with very powerful psionic powers that allow him to control minds and move just about any object. On the run from police, Stanchek is trying to walk a dangerous tight-rope that has drawn the attention of authorities and philanthropist and fellow harbinger, Toyo Harada, who seeks to harness Pete’s abilities.

NewCabinLand30912 New Clip From The Cabin In The Woods Gives You The Old Creepy Local Routine

A brand new clip from The Cabin In The Woods just hit over at IGN and it’s a great homage/send-up of that old “creepy local” routine we get in so many horror movies. This guy’s a little more assertive than Friday The 13th‘s Crazy Ralph, but his plot function seems to be the same. The clip appropriately refers to him as “the harbinger”.

Anyway, as long as you guys keep in mind that The Cabin In The Woods just a great movie, but not the cure for cancer, I can’t see how you’ll be disappointed when it hits on Friday, April 13th. Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams and Brian White all star.

Hit the jump to check out the clip. READ MORE
