I’m pretty sure that every solicit with a Harbinger cover is just going to make me sad/mad at this point.

It's certainly not the Harbinger I'd like it to be.

They are getting a lot of young talent it seems.

The Shadowman covers are the better of the bunch.

Anime/manga is cool, and seeing as Alien works with manga artists frequently, it makes sense to give Valiant a little manga flare. At the very least, they're trying something different, which oughtta be lauded.

Good points. I just don't like the art style.

Luckily I can buy other covers.

+1 and likely consistent with most Valiant fans
