Last issue, Midnighter went back in time to kill Hitler. Well, it wasn't like he really had a choice. Or that it was even his idea. This guy named Paulus, and a bunch of his guys, captured Midnighter. Then before he came to, planted a bomb in his thorax. He was then sent back to kill Hitler, and told that if he came back to 2006 without completing the job, the bomb would split him in half. Might be a little more than his recuperative powers could handle. Anyways, at the end of last issue, he was confronted by a group that didn't look like they were from the time-line he was visiting. Anyways, long story short, they're a temporal police dept. from the far future. There job is to look for things that people are going back in time to change. They subdue the Midnighter, but it takes every weapon, and their ship actually, to do it. On their way back to booking, Midnighter is trying to explain his side of the story. But, there's not a lot the police can do, because they have to go through channels and do all the appropriate paperwork. Well since they're following the Hitler time-line, on their way back, Midnighter decides to just jump out anywhere. Well they can't let him do that, so they end up crashing their ship into April of 'forty five. If it were anyone other that Garth Ennis, I'm not sure they could keep this story straight. But the way Garth writes, it just flows like any other. Another series with huge potential. I just hope they don't lose Garth.
