Gen13 #2 - Wildstorm


First of all, with Gail Simone writing this book, I expect nothing short of perfection. And I am definitely not disappointed with this outing. Then, to put the thick cream cheese icing on the cake, Talent Caldwell and Matt Banning handle the art chores. Wildstorm is definitely setting this book up for success. We actually get to see the team in action this issue, sort of. They aren't really cohesive yet. And they're rather undisciplined. But, there is definitely the beacon of hope shining there. Lynch is also brought into the story this issue. When the kids are attempting to break out, IO calls him in to take them down, before the situation gets really out of control. They end up teleporting out, but not before Lynch shoots Roxy, and Roxy takes out his eye. Where have they 'ported to? It looks like the center of New York City. But, I could be wrong. This book definitely has the feel of the J. Scott Campbell stories. We all know those were the best. Hopefully this new title will stick around longer than the last incarnation.
