The first book in the new Wildstorm Universe. What better way than to start it with the youngins'? We are introduced the the new Gen13 team. Although they aren't really a team yet. And, they aren't really new. They're all the old characters, but we're starting out fresh. We find out in this issue, that all of them have inhibited powers, and were sent out to fake families, so they could be raised normally and under constant supervision. For some reason, IO has decided to get rid of the charade of normalcy and bring in all the Gen13's. The stress of seeing their "parents" killed, or taken away activates their powers. IO then begins gathering them up. They take them to their headquarters, secure them, and deactivate their powers. It's there, in the bowels of their capture that they start to come together. This is the basis of the new Universe. Most of the creators have decided to go with the original characters, and just retell, or revamp, their beginnings and origins. This one is by Gail Simone and Talent Caldwell. Both are huge talents in their own rights, but together on this book, it should be something special. I have a feeling this is the beginning of the best incarnation yet.
