Divided but not yet conquered, Livewire and the Harbinger Renegades are making their last stand for the fate of their fellow psiots! Targeted by X-O Manowar and the governmental forces of the H.A.R.D. Corps, the most powerful players behind the cataclysmic conflict that has torn America asunder are about to converge in a violent conflict where the ultimate fate of the Valiant Universe will be decided… And Ninjak and Bloodshot are about to get a crucial new role in the heart of it all!<\/p>\n

From coast to coast, New York Times best-selling writer\u00a0Matt Kindt<\/strong>\u00a0and superstar artist\u00a0Tom\u00e1s Giorello<\/strong>\u00a0are about to unleash a sonic boom of seismic consequences as Valiant’s spectacular summer event rages forward in\u00a0HARBINGER WARS 2 #3 (of 4)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0J.G.

Then: This summer, Valiant\u2019s biggest and most ambitious event yet takes hold\u2026and, on\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, all of America will witness the raw, unrepentant power of the Valiant Universe unleashed in\u00a0HARBINGER WARS 2 #1 (of 4)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 \u00a0featuring covers by\u00a0J.G. Jones\u00a0<\/strong>(Wanted<\/em>),\u00a0Mico Suayan<\/strong>\u00a0(BLOODSHOT SALVATION),\u00a0Juan Jos\u00e9 Ryp<\/strong>\u00a0(NINJA-K), Felipe Massafera (Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors<\/em>), and\u00a0Lewis LaRosa<\/strong>\u00a0(BLOODSHOT SALVATION)!<\/p>\n

From East to West, the nation has been cleaved down the middle as Livewire\u2019s defensive attack on the U.S. power grid envelops America in darkness and sets the stage for the biggest clash of powers ever witnessed\u2026 On one side, Peter Stanchek\u2019s ragtag team of Renegades \u2013 alongside their newly activated army of untrained and wildly unstable psiots \u2013 ready themselves for an unsparing firefight with H.A.R.D. 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
