I've kept my trap shut but I kinda agree. I was blown away by the art for XO, but I'm not impressed with the art on Harbinger so far. But, I'm trusting the writing will make up for it.
I'm not thrilled with the way that Pete looks, but other than that I'm okay with the art.
I'll admit its not what I expected, but I have faith it will be a great book and its way too early to form much of an opinion. My excitement is still very high!

As long as the story is good, I can live with Pete looking like that. It's not really a big deal, it just threw me off. I guess they're going for a more realistic look?

I would assume they are going for more realism. Works for me, especially as it further distances them from the late 80's Marvel look they once had.

Maybe, but now it resembles the Marvel Ultimate line...

Do you mean the Millar/McNiven one?

Not sure what you're talking about. I just think that the Harbinger images we've seen so far (especially the one with Pete walking in the crowd) often resemble images from Ultimate Spider-man.

The one of Pete in the crowd with all the thoughts is a cover.

Is it? I don't know how I feel about that. I just figured the empty space at the top was for the opening title or something.

Agreed with those who think the future stuff should come later. Although the original run started like that, it was more to facilitate Magnus, and since that's not a need, I think it's best to focus on the here and now. That said, one of Valiant's tweets back to me said something like, "how do you know we've not already been there?" (Ed: regarding the future stuff) Which to me felt like maybe some of the XO stuff is future-based...or they were just being cheeky monkeys.

As for the Harbinger stuff, this has me more excited than X-O. The uuber-femmy Himalayan Harada is kind of off, but the bleeding man is cool. As are the few quotes we have so far from Dysart. I was never as big a fan of the Harbinger concept as I was of H.A.R.D. Corps, but this has me ready for action.

There are still 3 covers that have yet to be "uncovered" I bet they are awesome.

I'm 36, but 2012 makes me feel 15 again. Thank you Valiant.

36? Still younger than the SC drought of the Maple Leafs.

I'm pretty sure The Leafs now hold the longest stretch with no Stanley Cup, (43 years) formerly held by the Rangers (54 years)

Just listened to Only the Valiant Podcast #67. Following along and looking at the images of Harbinger artwork while they were being discussed in the podcast.

I noticed something interesting in the artwork of Toyo going into the cave (the Buddhist monastery maybe where Archer trained?) to stand before the precog bleeding monk. The blood pouring out of the man seems to be coming from....the center of his chest! Reminded me very much of the Bloodshot cover we now have of the blood seeping down into the American flag.

Some connection there between the bleeding monk and Bloodshot maybe? (Or maybe even Rai if he is to be added somewhere in the present.... or maybe even in the past??)
