Spoilers and Review:
The book opens with a brief history listen about the alien species of Kherubim and Daemonites as well as how and when these warring beings ended up on Earth.
In modern day, Grifter and a small group of WildC.A.T.s infiltrate H.I.V.E. and thwart their terrorist activities just before Nightwing and a Batgirl get to the same building?!
Elsewhere, we see Jacob Marlowe, the benefactor of the WildC.A.T.s, is building his Halo Corporations office tower in Green Arrow’s Star City.
Grifter is at a bar, talking to himself and informing readers that the Wildstorm characters lived on another Earth before we came to this Earth.
Grifter is provoked into a bar fight and is arrested.
Grifter and another small WildC.A.T.s team ends the issue on a mission which puts them in conflict with Green Arrow.
It also leaves them in the arms of the Court of Owls?!

ON SALE 12/13/22The mission has gone sideways for the Cats team as they inadvertently run afoul of the last group they wanted to cross paths with…the Court of Owls! It’s the fight of the year: Talon versus Zealot!
The Pulse:
A slow story that sets up the series. Decent art. I’m intrigued about the Court of Owls vs. WildC.A.T.s match-up. 5.5 out of 10.
