Hi Josh, In the original Valiant U, they tried to stay relatively "real world". All those wild adventures happened somewhere in the margins, and politics and society looked pretty much the same as our own. Even in the DC and Marvel Universes, gods and superpowers and magic and super-tech ...

Thanks for reading it!

Hawkeye's a great book!

lorddunlow wrote:Did you come up with all the psiot powers in the Harbinger Wars crossover books, or did other people have input?

99% are mine. One of them was Atom's idea, one of our marketing guys. The characters that were already in Bloodshot before the crossover are Duane's. Everyone else is me.

Hello Josh: As all the others before me have stated, I am a big fan of your work and I look forward to each issue that you write. I live in Kansas City and while at Planet ComiCon, someone was handing out flyers stating you will be one of the guest writers at the St. Louis convention in September. ...

Thanks!! I tell him!

More to do about how he feels and you also describe it as an impression...Interesting,would that mean that if he somehow believes that something has no effect on him(well on his thoughtform anyhow) he would be totally unharmed and thus potentially impervious to any kind of damage ? While a huge par...

Josh, do you have any say in which cover is which with Harby? Like do you chose the regular cover variant etc? If not how do they get chosen, is it a democratic thing in the office over there? I felt the 1:20 variant of Harby 1 should have been the regular cover. It's just so iconic and pays tribut...

Mr. Dysart, Today is my birthday. I'm a medium-to-large Valiant supporter. Can you ask someone to send me some very erotic Flamingo art as a present? Waiting for pictures of lawn ornaments, Jeff Ha! You assume I have more power than I do. I'd be willing to settle for a Polaroid of you in a red wig ...

People I've already worked with before but would like to work with again? Or people I've never worked with?

There's too many to mention in both camps. Right now I'd love to have Amy Reeder do some interior work with me. I LOVE her Harbinger 12 cover.

Yes.

No comment.

So many questions about Torque's powers. Does his shell sweat? It can be injured we've seen. If it's injured and he drops the shell and then reforms it is it healed? Etc, etc, etc... All will be revealed, but it is a psychic manifestation of his own absurdist idea of masculinity. If it takes damage...

Hi! Just wanted to lead off with that I work at a comic shop in Jersey, and thru them, I got to enjoy your work Captain Gravity and the Power of the Vril and your sun on Swamp Thing. I loved them. I love your work at Valiant and hope you continue to write there for a long time to come. I keep pushi...

hawkeyeps wrote:Does Torque's psiot shell emit the smell of Axe body spray?

And if so is that because that's how he imagines himself smelling?

Brilliant! And now I can't use that! Great idea... lost forever

I'm working on it! Don't think I don't recognize your avatar image! But not sure if Mastodon will make the cut

What I do want to say in that regard is that for me it took about till issue #5 for me to feel like the book was coming together. Whereas my top two books currently, XO Manowar and Bloodshot, seemed to gel for me within the first stated arc. I was reading out of being a loyalist to Valiant and now ...

And in regards to the word "Psiot" - is there a story behind that word? Its origin? Who came up with it? I did. Though when I googled it some stuff came up. Nothing definitive. Not much of a story. I was looking for scientific phrase for these powers (harbinger isn't really very scientifi...

Question. 1) In a fight (no guns AND no powers)..... who is the best fighter in the book? Pete looks like he's in good shape I vote for him Without his powers, He's no match intellectually with Kris. She'd outsmart him in no time He'd be all lovestruck and not want to hit Kris then she'd kick him i...

Uhm... I didn't know that was a thing I could do.

My question: Is it okay for people to do bad things for good reasons? I won't qualify the question with caveats. It seems, to me, to be the underlying predicate of Harbinger . I think that's a larger philosophical argument than we have time for here. Ultimately, as with anything, no absolute answer...

Thanks, man!! I'm having a lot of fun! I really appreciate so many of you being so supportive.

Question. 1) In a fight (no guns AND no powers)..... who is the best fighter in the book? I would guess Kris. You put all the Renegades in the Thunderdome with no powers and I agree Kris would kick their *Squee*'s Oh, well, if that's how we're going to play it, it would certainly come down to Kris ...

Question. 1) In a fight (no guns AND no powers)..... who is the best fighter in the book? Nice fan-boy question!! I love it! Okay, are we talking about Harbinger? Or Harbinger Wars? I'd have to say, many of the Harbinger students are trained in combat outside of their powers. Amanda (Livewire) can ...
