The Rundown: Zealot and her team investigate Grifter’s apparent death while the Seven Soldiers receive a super visitor.
With the rest of the company thinking Cole is dead, Zealot takes a small team to his place to look for clues. What they discover will lead them to a wealthy contact of their boss who not only doesn’t want the attention, but also has some super powered secrets of his own.
At the same time, the Seven Soldiers complete a mission and find themselves confronted by Superman who has questions for Majestic. Questions the hero doesn’t want to answer. Questions that will lead to a violent confrontation that will require Spartan to get involved.
The Story: Rosenberg crafts an entertaining, action packed adventure in this issue. The story does a great job of moving the character stories forward while also bringing in new ones. I love the inclusion of Warblade and the conflict between Majestic and Superman was fantastic. I continue to enjoy how the series brings the Wildstorm characters face to face with the DC heroes. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
The Art: Segovia and Duce deliver fantastic art throughout the issue. The action is visually thrilling and I love how the art styles complement each other.
