Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters #1 - DC

They're back. Well, they're on thier way. But they definitely will be back together by the end of this 8 issue series. Uncle Sam is in the process of coming back. Somehow he's calling out to Firebrand, and he is helping him. Dollman, the Human Bomb, Ray and Phantom Lady are all new and different. And right now they're all working for SHADE. But with what happened in Bludhaven with Major Force, they're getting quickly disillusioned. This one starts out with SHADE's stike team, Freedom Force I believe, taking out a drug lord. Then when they go back to headquarters to unwind, we get a little back history on each character. Senator Knight was making a speech in the beginning, when Firebrand attacked him saying that Uncle Sam was coming for him. But then the Senator goes to visit SHADE and Father Time who is not happy with his performance decides to replace him. So now SHADE owns the person who is most likely to be elected President in the next election. Lots of subterfuge, espionage and politics and going to be going on in this series. So while Father Time is briefing his team on thier next target, Uncle Sam, Firebrand is in the next room, or some room, being tortured. Way to start a series. This is only an 8 issue mini, but I'm really hoping that is just to get them acclamated into the current DC Universe. Hopefully, we'll see a lot more of them after that.
