Harbinger Renegade, Volume 1 Review

Harbinger Renegade, Volume 1: The Judgment of Solomon. Rafer Roberts, Darick Robertson, and Juan Jose Ryp. 2017. Valiant Entertainment. 144 pages.

Rating: 4/5

Disclaimer: I received a free ecopy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great book to read if you're familiar with some of the events leading up to it. There are references to the early Harbinger books from Valiant Entertainment, but they do provide some information to let the reader know what is happening.

The knowledge on how to unlock powers within a small percentage of the population, and who those people are, has been released into the world. Now various groups are trying to perfect that knowledge and use it to their advantage. Faith, one of the original Harbinger kids, sees the threat that this poses to the world and is trying to stop it.

I enjoyed this book a lot, but I've read about most of the characters already. It starts off a little ho-hum. However, when Peter Stanchek reappears, it really takes off. He is given a lot of great characterization, mostly through the art. I loved seeing all of the characters from Harbinger brought back together here. Despite a rocky start, it showed a lot of potential by the end. I can't wait to see where it goes next.
