thanks<br />
for coming,<br />
summer! hope<br />
you had fun.<br />
it's my first<br />
time dming.<br />
just remember, you win<br />
as a group, not alone.<br />
teamwork takes down<br />
trolls a lot easier.<br />
...and I<br />
think we'll<br />
end there<br />
tonight.<br />
aww,<br />
I wanted<br />
to kill<br />
it!<br />
just<br />
like the<br />
internet!<br />
you seemed great<br />
to me, klara! not that<br />
I've actually played<br />
mythos & mayhem<br />
before...<br />
and in my<br />
case, real life.<br />
although not so much trolls. (yet.)<br />
good to be part of a team again,<br />
even if I wasn't in physical danger.<br />
I guess I've gotten<br />
used to charging ahead<br />
on my own, despite the<br />
occasional team-up.<br />
might<br />
want to wait<br />
for the rest of<br />
the party to<br />
catch up for<br />
that...<br />
(you totally can't tell,<br />
but that's me in the<br />
red wig and glasses.)<br />
the classic alter ego<br />
routine is part of it.<br />
as for making new friends<br />
who don't even know my<br />
real name, I guess we'll<br />
see how that goes.

ONGOING SERIES<br />
Anyone you know could become a psionically powered<br />
“harbinger” with the potential to reshape the course<br />
of human history. Your neighbor. Your boss. Your best<br />
friend. Your kids.<br />
Six months ago, a secret team of renegade whistleblowers<br />

dangerous individuals to a stunned world. Today,<br />
all across the country, crude, DIY psiot activation<br />
attempts have left hundreds brain damaged…or worse.<br />
The emergence of a new psiot in a community often<br />
leads to riots and mass violence. Gun sales are through<br />
the roof.<br />
America is terrified of what could happen next.<br />
With this revolutionary upheaval now in motion, Kris<br />
Hathaway, John “Torque” Torkelson, Faith “Zephyr”<br />
Herbert, and Peter Stanchek are about to discover<br />
their calling. Together, the HARBINGER RENEGADES are<br />
moving from town to town, building their ranks, and<br />
subverting authority one mind at a time…and setting<br />
out to prove once and for all that behind their power,<br />
there has always been a purpose.<br />
This November, the most fearless superteam in comics<br />
is going underground for AN ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES<br />
from rising star Rafer Roberts (A&A: THE ADVENTURES<br />
OF ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and superstar artist Darick<br />

Because you demanded it! Exploding out of the pages<br />

SERIES starring GENERATION ZERO from New York Times<br />
best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (IVAR, TIMEWALKER)<br />
and blockbuster artist Francis Portela (<strong>FAITH</strong>)!<br />
If you have a problem… If your parents won’t help… And<br />
if your cause is worthy… Log onto network #ZERO…<br />
because Generation Zero is listening.<br />
Years ago, the children of the experimental strike<br />
team known as Generation Zero were taken from their<br />
families by Project Rising Spirit, a private weapons<br />
contractor, and raised to be psychic soldiers. After<br />
years of taking orders, they have fought for and<br />
won their freedom. Now, the world’s most wanted<br />
teenagers have pledged to protect each other tooth<br />
and claw, while using their extraordinary abilities to<br />
right wrongs for a generation without a future… To fight<br />
for kids, just like them.<br />
One of those kids is Keisha Sherman, whose boyfriend<br />
just turned up dead after a suspicious car crash in<br />
Rook, Michigan – a newly booming tech town that<br />
sprang from rags to super-riches seemingly overnight.<br />
When Keisha makes a desperate plea into her webcam,<br />
the local high school suddenly finds itself with several<br />
unusual new students… But as word of Generation<br />
Zero’s presence spreads rapidly through the halls, this<br />
volatile band of teenage upstarts is about to discover<br />
that they’re far from the most extraordinary thing<br />
lurking behind Rook’s stainless-steel facade…
