Shockingly good and at all whatnot expected going into this book expecting an X-Men retread. The art is great and the choices made to depict what is essentially telepathic interaction is consistently compelling. ( )

I picked up HARBINGER in preparation for reading FAITH, and I am hooked. It's not my favorite art style, but this take on teens/adults with superpowers in a school is really interesting. I'm also a sucker for anything with gifted kids at an academy-type situation, so that helps. I'm looking forward to continuing Peter's story! ( )

This TPB brings together the first 5 issues of Harbinger. Kid with psionic powers is on the run, gets cornered and taken in by Shady Organisation. Mostly set up, world building, framing of the rich and powerful against the lone wolf.

I liked it enough that I'm going to keep reading the series, although I don't have hopes of it being more than brain candy. ( )

From Goodreads:
Super-powered teenager Peter Stanchek is on a dangerous path. Skipping across the country in a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of the authorities, Peter is quickly realizing that he's a psionically-charged "harbinger" with the potential to reshape the course of human history. But Peter's plight has not gone unnoticed. Respected philanthropist and fellow harbinger, Toyo Harada, is about to offer Peter the chance at the things for which the boy has always longed - family, inner peace, self-control - and induct him into the sprawling, secret network of conspiracy and subversion known as the Harbinger Foundation. Now, Peter begins his long road towards a destiny that will shake the very foundations of the Valiant Universe. His first lesson? All power comes with a price!

A bit of a different spin on a familiar concept. Sort of like X-Men only the abilities people have are mind-based and don’t affect the physical body. There’s no Mystique, Nightcrawler, Cyclops or Beast in this universe. At least, not that I’ve seen yet. I like Peter. What a shitty hand he was dealt. And I have to tell you, I’m not liking this Toyo dude very much. What the fuck? I like the story and the artwork is fantastic, too. I’m looking forward to more of this series. ( )

Não vou resistir a esta: a Faith merece ter mais peso nisto.
