Ed Greenberg called up the OTV offices and let us know about the Harbinger Launch parties that he is holding at his Collector’s Paradise comic shops this Wednesday, June 6th in his L.A. area stores. He thought it would be fun to do something fun to cross promote, and to promote Valiant’s newest title, Harbinger.
Ed is a big Valiant fan, and we thought it would be fun for him to join us for an episode. Ed suggested, “Why don’t we have Joshua Dysart join us too?”
We thought it was a great idea!
In this episode, we talk with Ed from Collector’s Paradise, and Joshua Dysart, writer of Harbinger about the release party, and about Harbinger in general. Our conversation is spoiler free, making this episode the perfect prelude to Harbinger #1 by Valiant Comics, hitting comic book stands this Wednesday.
We’re holding a contest to give away a bunch of prizes, courtesy of Collector’s Paradise, so make sure to listen to get the details about the contest to win some cool signed Valiant comics.
