Noble Causes #23 - Image


Jay Faerber has truly created a super-hero soap opera here. We start out this issue with Race nailing his wife, Liz, from behind on the kitchen table. He seems to have an unusual amount of pent up frustration, so he's banging her pretty hard. Zephyr is at the police station trying to figure out who gave Rusty the video tape. But no go yet. At least not untile they get the results back from a "weird piece of hair" they found on it. Meanwhile Rusty is at the prison trying to get in to talk to Jason Rudy. He thinks that he built the robot of Rae, who has been posing as his girlfriend for the last couple of months. We then go downtown to see Race and Celeste together. Liz is in the lobby signing autographs, but she is upstaged when they come walking through the door. Celeste is trying to put race in contact with someone who can give him his powers back. Rusty has shown up at the court house, where Jason Rudy is, but there is also an army of policemen ready to stop him. We then see Doc Noble in his lab trying to go over the pieces of the Rae robot to try to figure out who made it and why. He's feeling frustrated because if it was his former student, Jason, his designs are a lot more advanced than even his own. He's also frustrated because he can't figure out how to give Race his powers back. Meanwhile, Rusty's battle has just escalated because the police have called in Slate, Dusk and Dawn Blackthorne. In the melee' that ensues, a piece of a car, thrown by Rusty at Dawn misses but instead strikes the TV chopper flying overhead. The chopper comes down, and apparently all 3 occupants are killed. Rusty is then arrested. Wow!! Lots of stuff. Oh, I forgot, Race tells Celeste that he knows she's sleeping with Dawn. Honestly, what more could you want. The artwork of Jon Bosco is getting better too. It has a Phillip Tan kind of feel to it.
