Harbinger Volume 1: Omega Rising by Joshua Dysart
3.0
I am smack in the middle of my, 'getting to know Valiant,' comic book spree and I suppose out of the three titles I have read now (the other 2 being Bloodshot and Manowar) this is my least favorite.
That's not to say that I didn't enjoy it, it's just that I liked the other two better. In fact, the only real reason I picked this one up alongside the others was so that I could stay on target with the Harbinger Wars crossover. I kind of knew what I would be getting with this title before going into it and I wasn't really all that amped for another typical 'teen trying to come to grips with his powers' story.
And that, essentially, is what this is. It's still an okay read, its just so full of angsty, fuck you, teenage behavior, that I had a hard time wanting to press forward. My plan, more or less, is to read this series to the end of Harbinger Wars and then let it go.
Of course, that could all change with the next volume. I may end up falling in love with it all.
I'm a fickle S.O.B. and reserve the right to do whatever I want, whenever I want.
I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.
