Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Harbinger #12 from New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart and acclaimed artists Khari Evans and Trevor Hairsine! On May 8th, the definitive Valiant Universe event of the year kicks into high gear as Peter Stanchek and the Renegades come to face-to-face with the Harbinger Wars’ most unpredictable new players – the escaped Project Rising Spirit strike team known as Generation Zero!
Unsure of exactly what they’ll find, the Renegades have followed Peter Stanchek’s strange dreams and visions straight into Las Vegas. Led by the words of the Bleeding Monk – who bleeds but does not die – they’re about to find themselves in the company of PRS’s tempestuous teenage test subjects, the fugitive Harbingers that now call themselves Generation Zero. Inside of a fortified Las Vegas casino, will they will be able to broker a peace with their kindred spirits in the Renegades? Or do these trained child soldiers still have one wild card left in their assault on authority?
The next generation of the Valiant Universe has arrived…and all of Las Vegas is going to feel the aftershocks when Harbinger #12 pulls the trigger on the next explosive chapter of Harbinger Wars – in stores everywhere May 8th!
Then, follow Bloodshot into a no-holds-barred battle with the Harbinger Wars’ most ruthless combatant, Toyo Harada, on May 15th in Bloodshot #11!

Valiant is proud to announce that its much anticipated free 8-bit mobile game, Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas, will be hitting iOS and Android devices everywhere on May 2nd!
Available as a free app via the App Store and Android Marketplace, Valiant’s action-packed, retro-styled sidescroller gives users the ability to control Bloodshot or Harbinger’s Peter Stanchek as they fight their way out of a classified Project Rising Spirit compound and directly into the crosshairs of an epic superhuman showdown on the Vegas Strip!
Out of the pages of Valiant’s smash-hit summer crossover event and onto your favorite mobile device, Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas is a first-of-its-kind gaming experience that mirrors the events of the ongoing Valiant comic book storyline by Joshua Dysart, Duane Swierczynski and Clayton Henry. Developed in concert with Storm City Entertainment and Gameshastra, Valiant’s first mobile game comes complete with an all-original 8-bit soundtrack, a wide array of Easter eggs for longtime gamers and Valiant fans, and gameplay that emulates some of the most well-remembered console classics of the 1980s.
“With Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas, we were very much trying to create a throwback to the greatest games of the late 80s and early 90s, and our partners at Storm City and Gameshastra have managed to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and cutting-edge mobile utility,” said Russell A. Brown, Valiant’s President of Consumer Products, Promotions and Ad Sales. “A cross-promotion like this has never before been attempted by a major comics publisher, and it’s our hope that it gets fans and retailers all the more excited for the exciting storytelling that Valiant has in the offing with Harbinger Wars.”
“Everything that we do starts with producing the best, most accessible comics we can and Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas is an extension of that philosophy,” said Valiant CEO and Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “This free mobile game will let fans engage with the story behind Harbinger Wars firsthand, and we’ve already seen new readers get excited about the game and jump on board the comics.”
A 12-issue crossover event from an all-star cast of visionary talent, the defining Valiant Universe storyline of the year continues on May 1st in Harbinger Wars #2 (of 4).
