Grifter / Midnighter #1 - Wildstorm


This series is gonna' take 2 bad-asses, and stick 'em together. Well . . . not this issue. This issue is the set-up. But next issue . . . this series is gonna' take 2 bad-asses, and stick 'em together. I don't know why anybody would think that that's not a bad idea. Yowtch! Anyways, Midnighter is having some problems with his team. Specifically, he was abducted and hooked up to a brainwashing machine. Now he's having a hard time telling his teammates from the aliens that were attacking him in his mind scenario. So Jenny decides to reassign him. We then see that Grifter is also having problems with his team. After getting in to the mind of one of the cell members that they're following, Grifter has him walk back in to their meeting place and do a suicide bombing. The problem that Grifter has is that just because he can do it, doesn't mean that he likes to do it. Plus that fact that getting in to someones elses mind, means that, for a brief moment, you allow them to get in to yours. Which, as he demonstrates on the 2 agents that are with him, " . . not the party you thought it was, Huh?" Which really sends both of them over the edge, "You're out of service as of now. Turn in your weapon!" So obviously the circumstances of our 2 players this issue, will lead them to form some kind of alliance next issue. What kind of alliance that is though . . . I couldn't tell you. I'm afraid to even guess. But with Chuck Dixon writing this series, and Ryan Benjamin on pencils, I can tell you that it will be exciting and a thrill ride. Pretty good idea teaming these 2 up for the New WildStorm's first mini-series. Bring it on!
