It's a shame that this is only an 8 issue series, because I am really digging it. I'm going to put both these first 2 issues' covers on this posting, one because I really like them, and two because I want you to see what you're missing if you're not getting this. First of all the creative team is Jimmy Palmiotti, Justing Gray and Daniel Acuna. And they are literally doing a bang up job. Just like any other time the Uncle Sam character has been used, he comes across as an extremely powerful figure, but, his powers are shrouded in mystery. First in that we don't really know what they are. And also because we don't really know the full extent or depth of his abilities. Now all these characters, are the same as the original group in the 70's, however that's only in name and power. We still have Dollman, the Human Bomb, the Ray and Phantom Lady. Next issue we'll be adding the Black Condor. However, according to Sam, the person weilding those powers doesn't know he's going to do so yet. Oh I'm sorry, Firebrand is also on this team. In this issue SHADE has sent our striketeam to apprehend Sam, but in his usual fashion, Sam turns that around. He brings them all over to his sidel However, I think, PL and DM still have a healthy amount of skepicism. He then poses as being captured so that the team can go back to SHADE headquarters and aquire Firebrand from their possession. So now they're an assembled team, and they're on thier way to Arizona to pick the fellow who will be BC. But they're going to be pusued and hunted by SHADE. Also as we learned last issue, Story Knight's dad, Senator Henry Knight, is not who he pretends to be. He is actually a robot who is under the control of Father Time. Or is he? I really don't think Father Time has as much control as he thinks. Also Stormy, not knowing that it's not really her dad, is still very loyal to him. So this could cause a wrinkle in the future. We'll see.
