Harbinger Wars

Valiant’s 2013 crossover event, Harbinger Wars, brings together the superhuman teens of the Harbinger Foundation and the ruthless government psiots of the H.A.R.D. Corps in a four-issue conflict that reshapes the publisher’s early universe. Written by Duane Swierczynski and Joshua Dysart, with art by Clayton Henry, Mico Suayan, and Clayton Crain, the series pits two powerful, morally complex factions against each other as a young, untamed psiot named Peter Stanchek becomes the catalyst for open war. It’s a key moment in Valiant’s modern relaunch, establishing the high-stakes, character-driven tension that defines its superhero line.
