Fantastic book. Another one you can credit to the author. Judd Winick writes this one, and he really has a handle on his characters. We get to see the new outfit for Katana this issue also. Last issue we saw that the team was chasing after Dr. Sivana. Well this issue he throws another curve into the mix in the form of a Luddite. It's like, an impulse bomb. Like a magnetic pulse, it's designed to knock out all technology, "but, it doesn't just shut down machines, it frys them." But it's also get worse because it doesn't just wipe out machines, it also, basically, reboots the brain of anyone in the shock-wave. They have basic motor functions, they can walk, talk, feed themselves, but other than that they're blank slates. So, with the help of the Pequod, they find the patch of islands that Sivana been squatting on. They think the Pequod has given them a stealth arrival, but then Boomer accidentally triggers an alarm. Sivana and Sabre come out, guns blazing, actually, robot guns blazing. The team takes them down, but not before Sabre nails Nightwing with a Toxin, that only Sivana has an antidote for. He's up to something because his final statement is, "I want us to have a talk. I don't want to fight you people. Quite the contrary. . . . . . .we've been on the same side all along." Whatever that means. Anyways, great story, good art, and beautiful cover by Matthew Clark. It's my understanding that he's the one designing all the new outfits for everyone too. Cool!!
