What makes Harbinger so unique is that Harada is such an interesting figure for everything to revolve around. He's both Prof X. and Magneto in one and a lot more on top of that. What drives this book is as much Harada's combination of empathy and ruthlessness as anything the Renegades do. ( )

Lots of back story that kind of explains where some of the threads from the previous two volumes have come from, but more angsty young man than I really want to read. Also some interesting contrasts between expectations and reality, and how people often don't think about the complexities of how a situation will play out, because they don't necessarily have enough information.
