And to justify an event like this you really need to have a unique polarizing event. [Writer] Eric Heisserer really set us up well for this by having Livewire not only step into a lead role in the universe but also having her serve as the spark that lights the fire of this war. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p>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<p>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<p>This summer, Valiant\u2019s biggest and most ambitious event yet takes hold\u2026and, on\u00a0<strong><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_913057430\"><span class=\"aQJ\">May 30th<\/span><\/span>,<\/strong>\u00a0all of America will witness the raw, unrepentant power of the Valiant Universe unleashed in\u00a0<strong>HARBINGER WARS 2 #1 (of 4)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0<strong>J.G.

Corps and the agents of Omen. On the other, Ninjak and Bloodshot prepare to enter Livewire\u2019s domain inside blacked-out Los Angeles. But as the casualties pile up and the losses mount on both sides, none of them will be ready to confront the full fury of raw power personified as X-O Manowar makes his long-awaited return after a year of self-imposed exile among the stars\u2026and delivers a single concussive strike that will send shockwaves across the whole of the Valiant Universe!<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_913057434\"><span class=\"aQJ\">June 27th<\/span><\/span>, New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and Tom\u00e1s Giorello unleash X-O Manowar on a world he thought he\u2019d left behind in\u00a0<strong>HARBINGER WARS 2 #2 (of 4),<\/strong>\u00a0and fire off the next brutal volley in the coast-to-coast clash of comics icons that will leave no hero unscathed!
