Noble Causes #22 - Image

This book just pulls me in every month. I've said it before, but it's really like a big soap opera. A superpowered hyperactive soap opera. But still, none the less, a soap opera.Rusty and Zephyr are beating up frost, because Rusty got a video tape showing Frost, with Rae and Zephyr on the roof of the Winterborne institute, the night the device was stolen that was used to steel Race's powers. Rusty's also a little peeved because last issue he found out that his girlfriend was a robot. So he tore her apart. Literally. Then we have Gaia Noble and Dawn Blackthorne flying throught the night sky talking. Obviously they're from rival families. So anyways, they're talking and when Gaia says something that upsets Dawn, she ends up swooping in for a kiss to calm her down. Next we have Liz, Race's wife, talking to Doc, who is examining the pieces of Rae, asking for advice on how to handle Race. He seems withdrawn and without an identity since he lost his powers. And finally we have Race and Gaia talking to Dr. Eichhorn, at the Winterborne institute, about how to get Race's powers back. Dr. Eichhorn is the one who made the device that took Race's powers away. He says the device won't work like that. But Gaia has an idea and asks the doctors to do the experimental gene therapy they did on her, that gave her her powers, on Race. Oh, and Frost asks Race the question of the hour, "So who sent the tape to you? And why?" Jae Faerber really has a handle on theses characters. And the relatively new artist of Jon Bosco, is getting better with every issue.
