The Harbinger #2 Spotlight: Coloring

 

The Harbinger #2 Cover A by Robbi Rodriguez


Writer Joshua Dysart's Harbinger series opened our eyes to what it would be like to constantly hear everyone else's thoughts. Through the artists he worked with, Joshua revealed how traumatic such a life could be, and the ends it could drive a person toward.



In his novels Changeling and Madwand, bestselling and critically acclaimed writer Roger Zelazny portrayed how a wizard might see the world. Trained in his magical powers, a wizard would see colored lines, like threads in a tapestry, that he could twist and pull to influence everything and everyone around him.



In writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly's new series The Harbinger, colorist Rico Renzi brings us into the world as a psychic-enhanced mind would see it. We see the interconnections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. For the first time perhaps, we see...everything.

And it is wild. 

Overwhelmingly so.



No wonder so much power could go to a person's head. No wonder that the Kingmaker and Syphon in writer Jeff Walker's Ninjak series now seek to rule the world. The only wonder is that, unlike Toyo Harada in Harbinger, Imperium, and The Life and Death of Toyo Harada, Peter Stanchek has never sought power for its own sake. 



In The Harbinger #2, colorist Rico Renzi reveals the amazing way by which psiots would see the world, and how what they see influences what they do.
