Nikki Finch can talk to birds… Owen Cho can conjure any object, but he can’t choose what or when… To most, these are remarkable, but mundane abilities. But to Valiant’s technopathic heroine Livewire, they are ripe with potential…waiting to be revealed. Now, she’s taking charge of these abandoned recruits from the Harbinger Foundation to find the hidden purpose behind their arcane and perplexing gifts. Do you have an under-appreciated ability that could earn you a place on Livewire’s one-of-a-kind team of new heroes? This summer, Valiant is letting fans tell the world – and jump in on the action themselves – at local comic shop across the country with SECRET WEAPONS #1 #WorstPowerEver name tags!

The secret is out on June 28th as master storytellers Eric Heisserer, Raul Allen, and Patricia Martin kick off THE ROAD TO HARBINGER WARS 2 – Valiant’s seismic 2018 crossover event – with all-new introduction to a team of heroes like no other in SECRET WEAPONS #1!
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. In his quest for world betterment at any cost, Harada sought out and activated many potential psiots like himself. Those who survived, but whose powers he deemed to have no value to his cause, were hidden away at this installation. But Livewire, having studied Harada’s greatest strengths and learned his deepest weaknesses, senses opportunity where he once saw failure. A young girl who can talk to birds… A boy who can make inanimate objects gently glow… To others, these are expensive disappointments. But, to Livewire, they are secret weapons…in need of a leader. Now, as a mechanized killer called Rex-O seeks to draw them out, Livewire and her new team of cadets will be forced to put their powers into action…in ways they never could have imagined…
