A HISTORIC HARBINGER MOMENT! After “MASSACRE” …witness the brutal beginning of the Renegades’ murderous new foe!
At the height of the Dark Ages, one of the world’s first psiots has made a terrible discovery: he is not alone. Lurking in the shadows, a mind as sadistic as it is powerful waits – a predator with a darkness so great, it will consume any rivals that dare reveal themselves. How will the secret of these legendary figures come to bear on the modern day… and how will it shape the catastrophic Harbinger War that is to come?!
“MASSACRE” enters an insidious interlude revealing the origin of the Valiant Universe’s greatest threat, as Harvey Award-nominated writer Rafer Roberts (Plastic Farm) and incendiary artist Juan Jose Ryp (BRITANNIA) plot the next step in the road to HARBINGER WARS 2!

This article does not have a synopsis recorded yet.
Notes[]
- The story is variation of the Siege of Antioch that took place during the First Crusade in 1097 and 1098.
- The city (name) of "Castillo Uriah" seems to be purely fictional. "Castillo" is Spanish for "castle" and "uriah" is Hebrew for "my light is Yahweh" ("flame of God").
- The Alpha aka Stormbringer should not be confused with Alpha, a member of "Unit Y" during World War I. Also, the moniker "Stormbringer" had been used for other supposedly dangerous psiots before.
Quotes[]
I desire nothing more than to live in peace, yet your order hunts me like some kind of animal. Everything that I have built, I have done so to be free of you and your brotherhood. Every atrocity I commit is done only so that I may be free of you.
