This is a preview of Secret Weapons: Owen's Story #0.
Before the Secret Weapons take center stage in Harbinger Wars 2 later this year, witness one of the year’s most unlikely and unorthodox origin. It features a story from Eric Heisserer, art by Adam Pollina, and featuring covers by Raúl Allén (NINJAK), Sibylline Meynet, Sija Hong (NINJAK), and Leif Jones (GENERATION ZERO). Owen's Story will be released on March 14th.
Then on May 2nd, two of the most powerful creative minds in comics today – New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (X-O MANOWAR, DIVINITY) and Academy Award nominee Eric Heisserer (SECRET WEAPONS) – join the powerhouse artistic team of Tomás Giorello (X-O MANOWAR, NINJA-K) and Raúl Allén (SECRET WEAPONS) for the first issue of the summer’s biggest comics event in HARBINGER WARS 2 #1 (of 4).
Utilizing an expansive, new and never-before-attempted comics format, each issue of the Harbinger Wars 2 event will come fully loaded with 48 pages of content and two complete, full-length 22-page stories chronicling dueling fronts in the nationwide battle that will soon consume the Valiant Universe’s most powerful forces. The first, by writer Matt Kindt and artist Tomás Giorello – the blockbuster creative team that launched X-O MANOWAR, the most successful independent series of 2017 – will feature the head-on collision of the Harbinger Renegades and the newly returned X-O Manowar. The second, by writer Eric Heisserer and artist Raúl Allén with Patricia Martín – reuniting the all-star creators behind Secret Weapons, 2017’s most successful independent limited series – will thrust Livewire and her new team of recruits into the center of a power struggle with the potential to tear America apart. Check out the synopsis for Owen's Story and the images below.
"Owen Cho is a conjurer, which can be a great deal more frustrating than it sounds. You see, Owen’s “psiot” ability – unlocked at great expense and even greater danger by Toyo Harada's Harbinger Foundation – allows him to materialize objects out of thin air, but he can’t control what to summon or when it might arrive. Worse yet, his gift has landed him in a heap of trouble over the years... Namely, it got him locked away in The Willows – an off-the-grid facility for abstruse superhumans like himself – before Livewire and her team of like-minded “secret weapons” gave him a path with purpose… But what do you do with a heap of undesirable objects summoned from parts unknown, anyway? Have a garage sale, of course! From the minds of Secret Weapons' all-star creative team, discover the significance behind the otherwise ordinary trinkets, toys, and gadgets conjured by Owen's otherworldly ability across a series of lavishly illustrated double-page spreads and short stories specific to each object that weave together to form one cohesive narrative...and one of the year's most innovative single issues."
