The Halo Corporation, along with the fine people at 411 Mania’s Comics Division would like to thank you for clicking on this review for Wildcats V3 #14. Remember, Halo Batteries last longer than the competition and cost half as much as well!

The following Wildcats review will be slightly short as regular reviewer Jesse Baker is ill. The Halo Corporation would like to extend our deepest sympathies towards Mr. Baker and hope that on his sickbed that all of his VCR and TV remote controls use Halo Brand Batteries. Remember, Halo Batteries last longer than our competition and are 100% human in design!

The Skinny
Dolbey (dressing like a pimp on payday) arranges for the new Halo Car to get used in an upcoming film being produced by a movie studio Spartan bought a couple of issues back.

We get an update on CC and her kid, who hasn’t shaken off the personality transplant his father inflicted upon him. We see him torturing the pre-teen computer hacker CC employs before his mom and Grifter (who needs CC’s assistance to recover some stolen tech) break it up.

Grifter, the Beef Boys S and M, and CC’s hacker friend confront the villainous Triple X, who has stolen some technology Grifter wants to acquire to use to further some unknown agenda. Grifter (wearing his bandanna mask) finishes off Triple X with a missle launcher after XXX gets in his tank and tries to kill the good guys.

Finally the Wax rape storyline reaches a boiling point as we learn that Wax’s boss has a history of abusing his rape victim wife and arranges for Wax to be lured into the sewers on a top-secret mission. When he arrives at his destination Wax finds his boss waiting with a gun and his wife tied up to a chair with a gag in her mouth, as Wax finds his web of lies, rapes, and revenge fantasies come crashing down all around him.
