Book of Death: The Fall of Harbinger #1 Launches Comic Reckoning


Book of Death marches on for Valiant and the latest victim might be on of its marquis players in Harbinger. In Book of Death: The Fall of Harbinger #1, Joshua Dysart and Kano launch the dawn of the new Dark Age as foretold in the Book of the Geomancer. That launching doesn't happen without involving Peter Stanchek and Toyo Harada though. The one-shot features covers by Raul Allen, Francis Portela, Ryan Lee and Robert Gill.

Many years from today, Peter Stanchek, the Renegades, the Harbinger Foundation, the Bleeding Monk, and Toyo Harada’s Imperium all reach their terminus, as the entire planet becomes the battlefield for the most devastating psionic combat humanity has ever seen. The Great Destroyer, long prophesied and foreseen, comes to Earth at last. Who will survive…and what will be left of them?
