We know this because the very first page of the issue includes a time and place setting textbox: "Saint James Hospital, Decatur, Georgia. June 6, 1991. 12:03 A.M." over the artwork. There's also a simpler textbox at the start of the book's final sequence with just "June 9, 2:04 A.M." in it.

Furthermore, Zephyr refers to a specific scene from "Young Guns II" (1990), a film that released in theaters on August 1st, 1990 AD and the New York City World Trade Center's twin towers are visible in the same panel as the last textbox and they were destroyed in the famous and tragic September 11th terrorist attacks, which happened in September of 2001 AD. This corroborates, at the very least, the story takes place between 1990 AD and 2001 AD, while the textboxes place it in June of 1991 AD.
This comic-book was retroactively collected into a "Harbinger" volume 1 subtitled "Children of the Eighth Day" and another subtitled "The Beginning".
It is an early chronological comic-book in the Valiant Universe (a chronologically third comic to feature the Harbinger characters) and can be read at its timeline point.
