The Harbinger #4 Covers

 

The Harbinger #4 Cover A by Robbi Rodriguez


In The Harbinger #4 Cover A, Robbi Rodriguez shows Peter Stanchek caught up in a web of power woven by The Renegade. It reminds me of those great battles between Harry Potter and his nemesis Lord Voldemort. Amid this psychic maelstrom wrought by these two powerful beings, can either survive?

I must say: it is such a treat to see Valiant Entertainment commission the interior artist to do covers as well. You can be certain that they'll portray events in the stories correctly. It's always neat to see, after they've done twenty interior pages, how they will summon up one unscripted image of their own.

Although he's not credited, I presume interior colorist Rico Renzi colored Robbi Rodriguez's The Harbinger #4 Cover A as well.


The Harbinger #4 Cover B by Claudia Ianniciello

I love how Claudia Ianniciello evokes Peter's battle with his past for her The Harbinger #4 Cover B. Peter has had a contentious relationship with most of the people he's befriended or worked with in the past. As with Cover A, this cover is fully in line with story events.

I always appreciate when a cover isn't just a tantalizing image, but is also true to the story.


The Harbinger #4 Pre-Order Cover by Damion Scott

Finally, Damion Scott's The Harbinger #4 Pre-Order Cover shows us a close-up of The Renegade. As you've no doubt noticed, Damion's representations of story characters is a little different from Robbi Rodriguez's portrayal. But, as with Covers A and B, his cover also relates specifically to story events, and I love how The Renegade is crushing The Harbinger title on this one.

Incidentally, if you've been collected The Harbinger Pre-Order Editions, this is what you'll see if you put issues #1 through #4 together.

 


I wish I could show this larger. Still, isn't it fun?
