When Does "Harbinger" #4 (1992) Take Place?
"Harbinger" #4 v1 "Where the Love-Light Gleams..." is a science fiction comic-book written by Jim Shooter and released January 14th, 1992.
We know this because it follows immediately from the ending of the previous issue, "Harbinger" #3 (1991), which takes place in 1991 AD.
It takes place on the fictional Valiant Universe timeline in the year:
1991 AD
We know this because it follows immediately from the ending of the previous issue, "Harbinger" #3 (1991), which takes place in 1991 AD.
Furthermore, turning on a television blaring "only three shopping days left till Christmas" reveals to the kids that "over five months!" passed during that previous comic and the first time setting textbox reads, "Saturday, December 21, 1991, 10:40 A.M." on the same page. Another soon after labels the following scene "December 23" and "December 24" and, finally, "Christmas morning". So it's December 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 fifth comic to feature the Harbinger characters) and can be read at its timeline point.
