Spoilers and Review:
The book opens on the cliffhanger of the previous issue (full spoilers here).
During their skirmish with the Court of Owls, Grifter is injured, Caitlin Fairchild (formerly of Gen13) remains unconscious, and Zealot is mobile.
Ladytron evacuate them from their dilemma and she visits Grifter in hospital two days later as he recovers.
The WildC.A.T.s benefactors of Jacob Marlow and his Halo Corporations reveal members of their executive team, all classic DC villains, including:
- Doctor Ivo
- Doctor Morrow
- Dr. Tyme
- Mrs. Fries
Grifter wants revenge on the Court of Owls, but the Halo Corporation’s Void will not sanction it.
That leaves Grifter and Voodoo to go against Void’s directive and search for the Court of Owls.
A Court of Owls that elsewhere attempts to assassinate Jacob Marlowe.
However, Spartan is there to save him while Zealot chases the would be assassin.
Later that evening, at Jacob Marlowe’s home, the WildC.A.T.s regroup and learn that the media has pegged Grifter and Zealot as violent fugitives from their engagement with the Court of Owls to open this issue.
That leads Jacob Marlowe to unveil Halo Corporation’s super-hero team to the world, but its not the WildC.A.T.s.
It’s the Seven Soldiers of Victory with a roster including:
- Mr. Majestic
- Maul
- An unidentified person with 82 on his gear
- Mother One
- An unidentified blonde Amazon woman
- Spartan
- Pike
Interesting.
The Pulse:
Business picks up in the issue, but its the ending that is the most intriguing. Decent art. 7 out of 10.
