FLIPPING THROUGH:
This issue, we see what Peter’s Perfect Day is and that Harada is handling it himself. Unfortunately … Harada is getting overwhelmed. Meanwhile, back in Torquehalla, the girls decide that this realm might not be for them. Faith wants out but not sure how that is gonna happen. And finally, Harada’s lack of sleep catches up to him.

ART:
This
issue’s art was split with pencils by Rossmo and Kitson. Also, there was some
style/inking changes that were also put between the real world and Torquehalla.
And while normally, the styles here might not work well, Kitson and Rossmo’s
work really work well in telling the story. Pete’s Perfect Day by Rossmo while
Kitson switched his style a little between the real world and Torquehalla. The
grimmer style works for Torquehalla parts while Kitson’s more polished style
worked well in the real word. The Rossmo’s pages worked to give an innocence
that Pete had lost since the beginning of the series. Level and Pennington give some solid inks; giving
Kitson a rougher style for Torquehalla. And Hannin does a great job with colors
… even mimicking the classic dot style for Pete’s Perfect Day pages. It was
solid art this issue.
WRITING:
WRITING:
Dysart
continues to develop our Renegades and Harada further this issue. Faith steps
up which really is great to see. Torque’s paradise seems to not be so perfect.
The characterizations this issue were really enjoyable as we definitely can
relate to many of the characters feelings. Pete’s want of innocence. Torque’s
realizing things are not so greener on the other side. I also love how Dysart
is able to develop all the Renegades and Harada without any of the characters
being neglected or overshadowing other characters. It is a testament to his
writing.
The overall plot lines go smoothly and don’t over power the other. And we get a strong cliffhanger there at the end. A great job by Dysart.
OVERALL IMPRESSION:

OVERALL IMPRESSION:
The
series just gets better and better as Perfect Day builds up to be a signature
storyline for Dysart and Harbinger. The art was good and wasn’t afraid to take
chances while the story was absolutely exsquisite. Another great issue.
RATING:
Harbinger keeps getting better and this book proves it. I give Harbinger # 16 a 9.5 out 10.
