We reviewed it last month and, suffice to say, really dug it.
“Secret Weapons” is out this Wednesday, June 28th, with art by Raul Allen and Patricia Martin. This isn’t Heisserer’s first time in comics, having written previously for Dark Horse, or his first time in the Valiant Universe, as he’s been helping them adapt their comics to film, so it’ll be interesting to see how Heisserer takes the experiences working on both sides and brings them to bear on this book. His next project won’t be on the big screen, though, as he now heads to comics with “Secret Weapons,” a new miniseries from Valiant Entertainment.
But, to Livewire, they are secret weapons…in need of a leader.Arrival was one of the most acclaimed movies of 2016, with screenwriter Eric Heisserer going on to earn a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination at the Academy Awards for the film. A young girl who can talk to birds… A boy who can make inanimate objects gently glow… To others, these are expensive disappointments. But Livewire, having studied Harada’s greatest strengths and learned his deepest weaknesses, senses opportunity where he once saw failure. Those who survived, but whose powers he deemed to have no value to his cause, were hidden away at this installation.
In his quest for world betterment at any cost, Harada sought out and activated many potential psiots like himself. The government has dispatched Amanda McKee – the technopath codenamed Livewire – to investigate the ruins of a secret facility formerly run by Toyo Harada, the most powerful telepath on Earth and her former mentor. Eric Heisserer – the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of ARRIVAL and Valiant’s upcoming HARBINGER and BLOODSHOT feature films – joins Harvey Award-nominated visionary Raúl Allén (Wrath of the Eternal Warrior) for an all-new Valiant Prestige-format adventure…launching Livewire and an extraordinary new team of heroes into the fight of their lives!
