Harbinger is the critically acclaimed masterpiece that kicked off a whole new age of superheroes from legendary creators Jim Shooter (Secret Wars), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), and Valiant Comics.
Follow the story of Peter Stanchek and his band of teenage runaways, harbingers of a new age, born with the power to change the world…or break it. Plagued by emerging psionic powers he hardly understands, Peter turns to Toyo Harada and his Harbinger Foundation, an organization dedicated to teaching young people like Peter. But when he learns to what lengths Harada will go to further his secret agenda, he turns on his mentor, gathering a group of like-minded rebels. On the road and always just one step ahead of Harada and his hit squad of super-powered Eggbreakers, these renegade harbingers will have to learn how to use their powers to change the world for the better along the way.
Jim Shooter’s prolific career in comics began when he was just a teenager as he became the youngest writer to ever publish stories for DC Comics with his work on franchises like Superman and Legion of Super-Heroes. Shooter eventually found his way to Marvel Comics, working his way up to become the publisher’s editor-in-chief. During his run as EiC, he brought in era-defining writers and artists and spearheaded the blockbuster Secret Wars crossover event that helped to change the comic book business forever.
After leaving Marvel, Shooter helped found Valiant Comics and together with seminal creators including Bob Layton, Barry Windsor-Smith, David Lapham, Don Perlin, and more.
