ok, who are we looking at here?

From left to right

Armstrong
Archer
Bloodshot
Zephyr
Pete
Kris maybe?
Aric
Rai
Gilad maybe? Shouldn't this be the other arm?

Yeah, in VH1 it was. I'm not too fussy though.

yeah, that's Kris on the bottom/mid of the pic. I believe this was the first images of part of the team and the look may be subject to change a little. Maybe not though.

My personal opinion is Kris looks a little too agressive and Z looks a little too cool, and not plump and not the least bit nerdy.

My love for the original Harby characters obviously colors my opinions here, I have faith though that Warren Simons knows what to do here to modernize the title.

Look at the cover of the orig Harby #1, I think Zephyr looks dead on. (minus the goggles)

But Kris was always very aggressive.

Remember, this is the same girl that threatened to kill Pete in his sleep in the original Harbinger #1! :o

Not sure about Kris. Not sure why this is more modern. I would have left her the same as the original. Why change for the sake of change? Maybe there is more to it? Maybe this isn't even Kris. I hope it isn't Flamingo. A non busty Flamingo would be unforgivable - just sayin.

So does Rai look like he is from the future? His weapons seem pretty normal. :( I really hope Rai is future based. Bloodshot and Rai in the same era seems redundant to me.

I absolutely LOVE this image (except the shape of XO's helmet - there's something weird about that).

I love Gilad's arm! I'm loving Bloodshot and Rai!

But I think my favorite thing is the design of the Harbinger outfits. Very nice!!
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

LOVE this pic! There are a few minute details to quibble over (like Zephyr's man hands) but just awesome to see the band back together so to speak. :D

As far as Kris, I can see a slight change to her look as I always thought she was too similar to Flamingo visually in the original.

Yeah, there are some minor things that are a little "off"...
but each artist has a slightly style and different take on the characters,
so I'm confident the "off" things in this art won't be "off" in the next.

I'm mainly excited about Rai and Gilad (even though it's just an arm)...
nice detail on characters we haven't seen in the relaunch yet.

I agree. In the original series, they looked like sisters. And I don't think that they should look so similiar.

I may be in a minority - but I think Z is kinda appropriately chunky-ish. We don't want to see her as the Blob. Take another look - then check. Her back side is BEHIND Pete. It could be 'more.' Also look at her neck and face - especially compared to the 'Kris' character. See?

I personally love it! There are always going to be things that each of us may not like but at the end of the day we should be happy that the characters we love are coming back and being brought to us with respect to what made us love Valiant in the first place.

Eternal Warrior's arm hasn't gotten this much attention since it was severed off.

Where's Shadowman?? :evil:

That is my only gripe. I think Zeph looks perfect. I like the few changes I see.

Even if you have a nice coat of paint on your place for 20 years it's still nice to update it now and again :thumb:

I really like the new outfits as well. I know some think it's a little too "Trek" like, but I think they look just fine.
