HARBINGER #0
The issue
explores the origin of Toyo Harada who is the CEO of the Harbinger Foundation.
Harada is the reverse of the characteristics of Professor Charles Xavier of the
X-Men. He activates people with latent powers so he can gather them for a new
benevolent social order. Harada mentors Darpan who makes his victims relive the
worst moments of their lives. He uses Darpan to kill the Syrian president so he
can claim the oil rights. The issue portrays Harada as a person seeking change
to make the world better by any means necessary.
The story
does very little to enhance the overall tension of the series. A link to
Bloodshot would have been prior to the Harbinger
Wars event scheduled for April. Over the issue could have been maximized to
really attract new readers to the series.
RECOMMENDED – 4 OUT OF 5
