Last week, we teased something called Harbinger Wars, which featured Bloodshot taking down some of the Harbinger kids. It wasn't pretty.
Finally, Valiant has revealed the story behind the teaser: it's a four-issue limited series that will act as the first-ever crossover for the new Valiant Universe. Essentially, it's a battle for control of the harbingers between Bloodshot, Toyo Harada, and Peter Stancheck. The tale will continue with new jump-on points in Bloodshot #10 and Harbinger #11 and continue throughout those series alongside the main crossover.
Harbinger Wars will be co-written by Joshua Dysart and Duane Swiercyznski (writers of Harbinger and Bloodshot, respectively), with art by Clayton Henry.
"Harbinger Wars #1 will mark a pivotal moment for the Valiant Universe as three of our heaviest hitters go guns-blazing into a conflict unlike any they've ever faced before," said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons. "Joshua and Duane have crafted a character-driven story that will make the Valiant Universe a very dangerous place for a hero in 2013."
"The Harbinger and Bloodshot ongoing series will push full steam ahead, documenting the massive repercussions of the very first clash between Bloodshot and the Harbinger renegades," added Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. "We're designing each component to stand on its own, and we couldn't be prouder of the three creative teams that will be making Harbinger Wars a crossover unlike anything else on the stands."
Harbinger Wars #1, Bloodshot #10, and Harbinger #11 all hit in April. We'll have a lot more on this event very soon, so stay tuned to IGN Comics.
