It seems like a lot of these books are giving us the back stories now. This issue tries to fill us in a lot on the whole Lady Styx thing. It doesn't really give us a lot of her story, but we see how she is affecting, or trying to affect, the rest of the universe. We also get some more explanations on the Heartstones. You know, those four fragments that are floating around that everyone seems to want to get their hands on. Something about putting the four together and giving them some ultimate power. Supposedly, what Lady Styx is up to is, "She's going to kill god. And then swap places." Bit of a grandiose plan, I would think. There's no possibility of something going wrong with that. Anyways, somehow the Omega Men's actions are actually helping her plans come to fruition. They haven't figured it out yet, but they know that somehow they're being played. This is really thrown in their face when, on the final page, they are confronted by a swarm of Darkstars. The problem is, all of these ones, are Tigorr's fallen comrades from over the years in the Omega Men. He's talking to Lianna when he says, "Dunno what's happening sister. But sure as hell looks like . . . . . bein' dead ain't what it used to be." This is a great start to this mini. To bad it's only 6 issues long. Can we maybe do something with these characters after this. Or maybe with L.E.G.I.O.N.. I mean Vril Dox seems to be playing a big role in all of this also. Just a suggestion.
