USA Today broke the news about big changes coming to Harbinger in April 2014, and it may be the death of a character.
The “Death of a Renegade” arc begins in Harbinger #22, and according to the press release and article, “everything will change after this.”
United by their unique abilities, five teenage misfits have come together under the leadership of troubled runaway Peter Stanchek – a psionically-powered “harbinger” with the potential to reshape the course of human history. Recruited into the Harbinger Foundation by wealthy business magnate and omega-powered harbinger Toyo Harada, Peter quickly discovered the true purpose of Harada’s secretive superhuman empire – subversion, conspiracy and control on a global scale. Now, with only the rejected recruits of the Renegades to aid him, the one boy to ever challenge Harada’s vise-grip on the future of humanity has been left with no choice to expose his former mentor to the world – then bring the fight to his front door.
“We’re losing one of our most important characters forever,” said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons in a prepared. “This isn’t a decision we take lightly – there was heated debate about this in all quarters – but it’s a necessary choice, even if it means breaking the hearts of our beloved Harbinger fans.”
