Harbinger Wars Unites Harbinger and Bloodshot

Now that the Valiant Universe has been established and all the characters making their ways in the new world, it's time to start unleashing anarchy among them. Harbinger Wars is a universe spanning crossover, with the first release being celebrated with interlocking pullbox covers.

"Valiant's Pullbox cover program is designed to give our dedicated fans something special for supporting our ongoing series. Now, with Harbinger Wars gearing up to launch not only a standalone mini-series, but new story arcs in Harbinger and Bloodshot too, the time was right to try another first for Valiant – three interlocking Pullbox covers showcasing the true scope of the first crossover event for the new Valiant Universe," said Valiant Publisher Fred Pierce.

On April 3rd, pick up the first interlocking Harbinger Wars Pullbox Exclusive Variant as Harbinger Wars #1 (of 4) by Joshua Dysart, Duane Swierczysnki and Clayton Henry slams into stores. Then, follow the fallout with new standalone story arcs on April 10th in Harbinger #11 by Dysart and Khari Evans and on April 17th in Bloodshot #10 by Swierczynski and Barry Kitson.

Two dozen highly volatile, untested and untrained teenage "harbingers" are breaking out of Project Rising Spirt and into the world. Now, with no guidance and no place to turn, these super-powered children have decided to forge their own future – and they'll take it by any means necessary. But when they terrorize a major American metropolis, the children of Generation Zero will find themselves in the middle of three-way firefight for the fate of the Valiant Universe. Bloodshot wants to train them. Toyo Harada wants to use them. And Peter Stanchek wants to set them free. Who will reach them first? And can anyone survive the all-out fury of the Harbinger Wars?
