BOOM! STUDIOS' GIANT DAYS SPECIAL
BOOM! Studios has announced a November release for the Giants Days 2017 Special, from Giant Days creator John Allison and artist Jenn St-Onge.
Here's how the book is described:
"When Esther is invited to stay with her friend and mentor, Shelley Winters -- who is less a mentor and more utterly mental -- she brings Daisy and Susan with her. Shelley Winters is a great and distinguished career woman who is hopelessly in love. Susan, Esther and Daisy observe (read: aggressively meddle in) her life, falling back on tried-and-true rom-com cliches to teach her some valuable life lessons."
"It's a tribute to the films of Richard Curtis, and the Bridget Jones movies, by someone who has seen those movies perhaps once, and maybe not all the way through," Allison said.
The special is also a tribute to the fictionalized London-as-written for Americans, according to Allison. "Iconic locations are presented as if they're a brief walk away from each other, 1950s throwbacks still seem to walk the streets, it's very clean, there are no poor people," Allison said. "The ghosts of Mary Poppins and bad dentistry loom large, but not as large as Colin Firth. He's everywhere."
"Readers can expect some holiday hijinx from our main ladies -- with only the best intentions, of course -- some gentle Love, Actually inspiration, and the return of some familiar faces for longtime readers of John Allison's comics," St-Onge said. "I'm a huge fan of Giant Days and I really hope that as a guest artist -- and non-Brit -- I do this special justice."

HARBINGER UPDATE: Valiant Entertainment has announced a Nov. 8 release for Harbinger Renegade #0, by Rafer Roberts and Juan Jose Ryp, an issue that will forever alter the course of what readers thought they knew about the history of Toyo Harada's Harbinger Foundation and the place of the telekinetically gifted individuals known as psiots in the Valiant Universe.
Here's how the book is described:
"Beneath the wreckage of the Harbinger Foundation, there is a secret that even Toyo Harada grew to fear. A secret simply known as...the Stormbringer. And Alexander Solomon is about to set it free."
"For more than a year, we have been been secretly architecting the groundwork for Harbinger Wars 2 -- the most impactful and ambitious Valiant event ever attempted -- across the Valiant Universe in series like X-O Manowar, Secret Weapons and, perhaps more so than any other, Harbinger Renegade," said Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. "Harbinger Renegade #0 is the ultimate capstone to that build-up, and will reveal a secret that has been teased since the very first pages of Harbinger #1 back in 2012. Peter Stanchek, Toyo Harada, and Harada's former protege, Alexander Solomon -- these are some of the most important and powerful characters in Valiant history and, when the dust settles from the events of this issue, the scope, scale and importance of their role in Harbinger Wars 2 will be clear for all to see."
