Valiant is proud to announce\u00a0QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #6<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0FIRST ISSUE<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0A PULSE-POUNDING TIE-IN TO HARBINGER WARS 2<\/strong>, Valiant’s seismic 2018 event! Klang, klang…klunk? When the lights go out across America, the world’s worst superhero team is going to finally find out if they have what it takes to be the heroes the Valiant Universe deserves!<\/p>\n

On\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, get a supercharged introduction to the colossal stakes and worldwide ramifications of the summer’s must-read crossover event, as red-hot rising star\u00a0Eliot Rahal\u00a0<\/strong>(BLOODSHOT\u2019S DAY OFF,\u00a0The Paybacks<\/em>) and explosive artist\u00a0Francis Portela<\/strong>\u00a0(FAITH) finally answer the gripping questions that have long haunted Eric and Woody Henderson: When push comes to shove, can they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s most formidable heroes…and, hey, just what happens if they don’t “klang,” anyway?!?<\/p>\n

In the ultimate display of power, Livewire has plunged the United States into darkness. From coast to coast, once-vital technology has now been rendered worthless\u2026 No cars\u2026 No phones\u2026 No quantum bands?!? Without the high-tech gauntlets that bind them together, the world\u2019s worst superhero team have 24 hours before they disintegrate into nothingness\u2026 Now, stripped of their powers and unable to \u201cklang,\u201d can Quantum and Woody become the heroes they\u2019ve always aspired to be and secure the streets of the nation\u2019s capital\u2026before time runs out?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe events of HARBINGER WARS 2 are capital ‘B’\u00a0big,\u201d\u00a0writer Eliot Rahal told Newsarama<\/a>. \u201cQuantum and Woody, although loud voices, occupy a very small part of the Valiant Universe. That\u2019s a really fun power dynamic to play with. So I\u2019m treating the fallout from [HARBINGER WARS 2] like it\u2019s an unavoidable disaster. An act of God. It\u2019s too huge of a crisis for them to solve. They just have to deal with it. Quantum and Woody can only try to survive and do what good they can along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hey, hey, nobody invited these guys!\u00a0On\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #6<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0Ariel Olivetti<\/strong>\u00a0(X-O MANOWAR,\u00a0The Incredible Hulk<\/em>),\u00a0Geoff Shaw<\/strong>\u00a0(God Country<\/em>), and\u00a0Javier Pulido<\/strong>\u00a0(Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk<\/em>) \u2013 comes kicking and screaming into Valiant\u2019s cataclysmic summer crossover, courtesy of rising star Eliot Rahal, acclaimed artist Francis Portela, and an all-new entry point for the title that The A.V. Club calls \u201ca superhero series not to be missed\u201d!<\/p>\n

Plus, also beginning in May: The most powerful Valiant event ever attempted erupts in full force as X-O Manowar, Livewire, the Harbinger Renegades, Bloodshot, the Secret Weapons, Ninjak, and a cast of thousands draw their battle lines in\u00a0HARBINGER WARS 2,<\/strong>\u00a0from New York Times best-selling writer\u00a0Matt Kindt\u00a0<\/strong>(X-O MANOWAR, DIVINITY,\u00a0Mind MGMT<\/em>), Academy Award nominee\u00a0Eric Heisserer\u00a0<\/strong>(SECRET WEAPONS), and superstar artists\u00a0Tom\u00e1s Giorello\u00a0<\/strong>(X-O MANOWAR),\u00a0Ra\u00fal All\u00e9n\u00a0<\/strong>(SECRET WEAPONS), and\u00a0Patricia Mart\u00edn<\/strong>(BLOODSHOT REBORN)!<\/p>\n

For the rare and immensely powerful subset of humanity known as psiots, their unique abilities have come with an enormous cost. Once, their existence was known only to a select few. Now, the revelation that thousands of these latent telekinetic \u201charbingers\u201d secretly live among us\u2026with the potential to become active at any moment\u2026has led the American government to a dramatic tipping point\u2026<\/p>\n

Armed with new extra-governmental authority, the deep-black military contractor known as Omen has been authorized to identify, evaluate, and, if need be, eliminate all super-normal threats to the homeland. H.A.R.D. Corps units have been deployed into cities and towns across the United States to enforce their orders.<\/p>\n

In the East, one of the most powerful minds on Earth, Peter Stanchek, is leading his band of Renegades across the country, activating any potential psiots willing to join them, and building an insurrection force of ultra-powerful and unwieldy new abilities that will soon bring war to Omen\u2019s doorstep\u2026and the unstoppable force known as X-O Manowar raging back to Earth\u2026<\/p>\n

In the West, Livewire \u2013 the telekinetic technopath with the ability to bend machines and computers to her will \u2013 will be forced to choose between her former allies\u2026or her newfound team of Secret Weapons. As the situation escalates beyond human control, the United States will be plunged into darkness from coast to coast, launching Bloodshot and Ninjak into a dangerous mission to neutralize their one-time teammate \u2013 and setting the stage for the most shocking, most violent, and most consequential clash of powers ever witnessed in the history of the Valiant Universe!<\/p>\n
