Man I'll tell you what, Kendra just cannot get a break. She finally got done with all that crap the last couple of issues, and now she has a Beta-3 Gizmoid chasing after her. Before you ask, a Beta-3 Gizmoid, is some type of alien tech for Apocolypse, that has been on our planet for about 3000 years. The para-demons who pick up it's signal, call it a planet killer. Apparently it's been dormant, until the girl trying to rob the museum last issue knocked it out of it's urn. Also, apparently, it needs a host to function at peak performance. It has chosen Kendra as that host. The Female Furies have found out about it's existence, and have decided to go after it. Mostly to thwart Desaad. So as we go through the book, we think that it's the Furies hunting Kendra, but actually it's the Gizmoid. It starts out by attaching itself to her face, but soon it's transforming over her whole body. The Furies try to stop it, but even they aren't powerful enough. The final splash pages show Kendra looking fully mechanical. I love Walt Simonson's story telling skills. I really like what he's doing with this character. It's to bad that Howard Chaykin couldn't stay on this book longer. But in the last few years, has he really stuck around on any book for more that 6 issues? Anyways, Renato Arlem has come in to pinch hit, and this guy has some serious talent. Parts of his story are awesome, and parts are just "ok". But he shows some serious potential. If he had his consistency through the whole book, he'd be a superstar. And I'm sure he'll get there soon. So I feel like the books in really good hands right now. So Darkseid . . . . bring it on!
