REVIEW: Harbinger, Volume One: Omega Rising

PLOT: 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!

REVIEW: 
This was a pretty bad ass little read. Lots of different cool superpowers at play, and a cool but uncompromising hero. After reading this volume, I'm much more excited for the potential of the story. The illustration is also great, very easy to look at. Often times with lesser known comics, it's the art that can throw someone off of a good story. This series does a great job of keeping the reader entertained visually while they're learning a whole new world and its characters.
