Since first appearing in 1992’s Harbinger #1 (by Jim Shooter, David Lapham, John Dixon, Janet Jackson, Knob Row, and John Constanza), Faith Herbert, aka Zephyr, has become Valiant Comics’ greatest female hero. Faith is relegated to a supporting character in her initial outing as Sting recruits her into the Harbinger Renegades. However, much of what would make the character so popular is already on display in this issue. Breaking away from the brooding angst that had dominated comics since the 1986 release of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s Dark Knight Returns, Faith is presented as childlike and excitable. She’s ecstatic at the prospect of becoming a superhero, and the reader is whisked along with her charming, unabashed exhilaration.
