From New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (THE VALIANT, Mind MGMT) and blockbuster artist Trevor Hairsine (X-Men: Deadly Genesis) comes a shocking new vision of science fiction in an all-new prestige format limited series.

At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union – determined to win the Space Race at any cost – green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent a man farther into the cosmos than anyone has gone before or since. Lost in the stars, he encountered something unknown. Something that…changed him.

Long thought lost and erased from the history books, he has suddenly returned, crash-landing in the Australian Outback. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity – one who turned the scorched desert into a lush oasis. They say he can bend matter, space, and even time to his will. Earth is about to meet a new god. And he’s a communist.

How long can it be before the first confrontation between mankind and DIVINITY begins?

Cold war no more!

Peter Stanchek. Toyo Harada. The two most destructive superpowers in the world — literally — have come to a reckoning of will, and in the fallout of their cataclysmic conﬂict, each will come to grips with a world in which the other is free…and unchecked. Their former families, the Harbinger Foundation and the Renegades, lie in shards around them. What will stop these men — either of them — from reducing the world to ashes?

Jump on board the convention-defying series that the Onion/A.V. Club calls “the crown jewel of Valiant’s line-up” as New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart and red-hot artists Rafa Sandoval, Khari Evans, Mico Suayan, and Stephen Segovia close the door on one generation of Harbinger Renegades…and prepare the foundation for another. Collecting HARBINGER: OMEGAS #1–3 and HARBINGER: BLEEDING MONK #0.

New York Comic Con 2014: In January Quantum and Woody Must Die from James Asmus and Steve Lieber

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Brett

As revealed at New York Comic Con 2014, Valiant has announced Quantum and Woody Must Die! #1 (of 4) – the FIRST ISSUE of a dastardly new limited series jumping-on point for the most nominated series of the 2014 Harvey Awards! The first in a new series of limited series for the world’s worst superhero team, start reading here as award-winning writer James Asmus and Eisner Award-winning artist Steve Lieber bring the most talked-about duo of semi-professional heroes in comics to a whole new high! (Unfortunately, there are a bunch of people that would like to kill them up there.)

They came. They saw. They pissed off a whole lotta folks. And now a team of mystery vigilantes has singled out the world’s worst superhero team out for complete and utter destruction. The first target: their minds! But who are all these all-new enemies? Are Quantum and Woody really hitting it off with a sexy duo of cat burglars? And, dear god, what have they done to the goat? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Sex Criminals isn’t the only comic that can quote Queen, comics fans – here come Quantum and Woody! (Or so they think! [Trippy, right?!])

Valiant’s a-number one team of super-hero misadventurers get it where it hurts – right in the cerebral cortex! – this January when James Asmus and Steve Lieber make their worst fears a reality in Quantum and Woody Must Die! #1 (of 4)! Featuring covers by Mike Hawthorne, Johnnie Christmas, and Eisner Award winner Chip Zdarsky, make with the sales on this one and we promise not to hurt the goat…maybe…
