This book I think has a pretty cool concept. I like that they have these non-meta individuals, but each with a unique talent, fighting on the frontlines for Stormwatch prime. Basically, they try to get the riff-raff out of the way, before the main team is called in. They actually do a pretty good job of it too. Christos Gage writes this, and Doug Mahnke does the pencils. I think this book has a ton of potential. We get to see them all in action, in the beginning, fighting the Ferryman. Then John goes to Jackson to give him an Ops report, and an update on the team. He thinks they all have talent, but there's a few loose cannons, and 2 in particular that he thinks is only a matter of time before they turn on 'em. So Jackson suggests that he divide his attention. Since he seems to have faith in Black Betty, have her keep an eye on the girls, while he keeps an eye on the guys. And he suggests that they do some bonding. So Fahrenheit, Gorgeous and Black Betty all go for a girl's night out. But with these 3, it seems that troubles looking for them. After a few skirmishes they do seem to actually bond, and have enjoyed their time together, without fighting some global conflict. But, in the end, we find out that Black Betty may not be who she appears to be. We don't know what's up exactly, but there is definitely something different about her. I really like the direction of this book so far. But, it's really only barely just begun. Staying power is what we need now. Can they keep the intensity going in the long run. We'll have to wait and see, but, I have high hopes.
