Harbinger, Volume 4: Perfect Day by Joshua DysartMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is a great follow-up to Harbinger Wars. After getting their butts handed to them, the Renegades get a chance to relax and be kids. Given the nature of these books, it can be easy to forget that these are young people that haven't had a chance to figure out their place in the world. A lot of the events in this story capitalize on the fact that they are struggling with finding themselves.
Here are some of the things I particularly enjoyed about this book. Kris Hathaway. Her part of the story is great. We get to see more of Pete Stanchek and Toyo Harada. These characters are perfect foils for each other. Animalia and her cartoon animal projections are quite fun. Torquehalla. Despite the excessive machismo, it actually made me appreciate Torque as a character much more. He is portrayed as a bit of a dumb brute and this book tries to show some more depth to him.
Overall I liked the art. The things that stick with me were really great, specifically the cartoon animals, Torquehalla, and some of the stuff at the end of the first chapter. I feel like this book would be better appreciated on a second reading because of how it is set up.
