This book is a worthy successor to the original Harbinger series from the early 90's. I loved those early Valiant books and this new series is pretty good too.

Well executed and consequence heavy conclusion.World: The art is still fine, it's middle of the road Valiant and that's all there is to say. The world building this time around is very solid and game changing. Ever since Harbinger 1 readers have been getting more and more of this world and now the game is going to change, the stakes are going to change and the consequences of actions in this arc is going to change. This is fresh because not a lot of superhero comic books do that (DC and Marvel)

CHECK OUT MY VIDEO REVIEW OF HARBINGER VOL 5 - DEATH OF A RENEGADE : https://youtu.be/GELtQjtKbDMn Trade #5, one of the Renegades makes the ultimate sacrifice. Which one is it, though? I am not telling. I would rather tell you my points on why I thought this book was great. What did I rank it on my Clemmie Scale? You will just have to watch my YouTube video and see.

You know the more Valiant titles I read the less I understand the love this company gets. Don't get me wrong, they're not horrible, but they sure do release a lot of just okay stuff. Anyway, another Harbinger title. This one actually being the highest rated. That made me excited. The DEATH of a Renegade. Sounds badass right? Got the big showdown, Peter and his gang going for the final take down, all the stakes in, the big fight is about to begin! And...Good: I did enjoy Kris and Peter's interact...

Harbinger exits with a bang, as newcomer and hacktivist "@x" blows the lid on HGC and the Harbinger Foundation, with the help of the Renegades. The Harbinger series proper ends with this volume, and an over-sized final issue collecting a handful of short stories. The landscape of the Valiant U is massively altered by the end of Dysart's story, in a fashion deeply reflective of the series' opening issues. Excellent characterization persists through the final chapters, as individual arcs are wrapp...

This series definitely keeps your interest. It is very entertaining and has a lot of mystery. We get a new character in this volume, though I was hoping for a little more from him. His arc seemed here and gone. I wanted more development there. One of the Renegades bites the dust in this one. Literally. Ultimately, I was a little surprised at which Renegade bit the bullet. The ending was kind of a downer. I am definitely eager to read the last volume after finishing this one.

This was prety good, but a little long for a valiant trade. the death itself didn't fell like it was very important. Just kind of happened and that's it. The art was srong though, and created some emotion throughout it. And the story is definitely getting more interesting.

I love Harbinger.Who am I anymore?

Don't do this to me Valiant! Where the hell are they going with this.When I first started this series it was like an adult version of classic X-men. Now it's like a superman comic. It makes no sense and goes nowehere.I hope this gets better in the next volume but i doubt it.

Death of a Renegade was decent.I mean, the title kind of gives it away that someone is going to bite it in this volume, but I was sort of surprised to see who actually got the ax. The main storyline is that Peter and his group of superpowered misfits are going to take on Tony and his group of superpowered highly trained misfits. It goes better than expected, to be honest. Here's the thing, I just feel like this wasn't any different from the last few volumes in terms of what was actually happenin...

I was fortunate enough to interview the writer, Joshua Dysart, for our youtube channel. Check it out here! https://youtu.be/NVSJLjQqEz8 Be sure to subscribe.Totally awesome. Deals with the fallout of the last volume, ups the ante big time, and someone loveable dies.This is a very emotional volume, especially if you’re invested in these characters (which you probably are if you’ve made it this far.)The art is excellent, and the way the story is told is brilliant. Dysart has done amazing things wi...

Writer, Joshua Dysart does a lot well here but the book is so reliant on the overly powered big bad, Toyo Harada, that everything is overshadowed. There are some great characters on this team but they rarely get to shine. Clayton Henry's art was really good but couldn't propel the book. Overall, the book ends on a low note.

This volume brings to a conclusion the story arc of Peter Stanchek v. Toyo Harada. In the process, the Renegades group is destroyed, and all of them go their own ways. This is beautifully plotted, with wheels within wheels, and frequent surprises that sometimes make it unclear which characters are to be trusted with the lives of their friends and group members.

A big improvement over the last couple Volumes. They raised the stakes some, had an epic showdown, threw in a couple weird art issues and got a fun book.

I would say it was a good end to the title... (view spoiler)[but are we not kind of back to square one ??? No it is kind of worse, the bad guy takes over the world, and the hero is gone.... (hide spoiler)] Damn, I LOVE THAT

Harbinger 2012 wraps up in this volume 5: Death of a Renegade.Looks like there is a follow-up series, Harbinger Omegas, but the original series ends here, with, as advertised, the death of a renegade.Still enjoyable and fun with some very cool writing, this missed a step and I was not thrilled with the need to write off a character (or the choice of axee).Dysart and team serve up a good showdown, more or less, and this is action packed and exciting, but it’s missing something. I liked the new ps...

That's more like it. After the let-down of volume 4, the Renegades get back on track as they finally take the fight directly to the Harbinger Foundation and Toyo Harada.This volume is three two issue arcs that all feed together to bring the series to a conclusion. We open with Resistance, which introduces the character of AX, a hacktivist who becomes instrumental in the downfall of Harada. These two issues do a little more showing than telling, but it covers a lot of ground in just two issues, s...

I didn't love this and I don't care enough to read any other volumes. Generally everything in this series just felt very rushed, characters got a tiny bit of development but nowhere near enough, lots of side plots are left untouched, and ultimately I can't see a satisfying way for this to end. Eh.

Overall, a solid conclusion to the first five volumes of Harbinger, that brings things to a good and natural close.Resistance (20-21). I always found Ax to be one of the most irritating characters in the VH-1 universe, because he was sooo overused, and such a whining brat. It's great to see an alternate version of him created for the VH-E universe that maintains some of the core ideas but is fun instead. Beyond that, this is another earth-shattering story. It's amazing how big of changes the VH-...

Volume 5 feels like the perfect follow up to volume 4. After all the bad stuff that the Renegades have been going through, they take some time to lay low until a potential ally leaks a bunch of data on Project Rising Spirit and sets his sights on Harada. The introduction of Ax, a computer hacker, into the story felt well placed. He adds some perspective that these kids have been lacking. I like the interplay between the Renegades and the Harbinger Foundation.The story steps back from the big eve...
