Ok the Outsiders have been captured by Silver & Grey. Or, rather, by their cloned superheroes. Not sure who all the clones are of, but at least one of them is Plastic Man. Anyways, last issue the Outsiders thought they were storming Mssr. Mallah and the Brain's secret lair, an abandoned Russian nuclear facility, but they were actually being set up. Suprised? Not Really. But through S&G's help, actually through their dipping into everyones DNA, we learn a little bit more about our Outsiders. We learn that Grace is not actually human. What is she? We haven't learned that much yet. Maybe we'll learn who Boomerang's mother is. Speaking of Boomerang, we still don't know why he switched sides during the last year. We also learn that Shift may be more that just a piece of Metamorpho because when Metamorpho is captured, Shift goes free to find Katana. Do we have a schizophrenic super-hero here? So the book ends with Shift and Katana down in the nuclear core, trying to figure out how they're going to free their friends. Good book. Brilliantly written by Judd Winick. I mean the pillow talk between Mallah and the Brain was priceless. And with Matthew Clark, Ron Randall and Art Thibert on the art chores, the book is perfection.
