Rating: 3/5
This volume ties into the Harbinger Wars crossover event. The event itself is quite good, but this volume felt a little disjointed. It shifts between the past and present. The past focuses on the early days of the Harbinger Foundation and Toyo Harada's struggle against the group that would become Project Rising Spirit. This complements the Harbinger Wars event nicely by filling in some gaps about the history of these organizations. The present portion of the story details the Renegades' part of the Harbinger Wars story. If I wasn't familiar with the overall event, I think I might have felt a little lost during this part of the story.
The art is great. It helps give a sense of the time when Harada was starting out and shows what these characters are capable of. I love that there are some very character driven illustrations amidst these significant events that could have been all about the action. It gives a nice balance to the arc. While this one felt a little less cohesive than the previous arcs, I still enjoyed it and will definitely continue reading this story.
