Adam Beechen is really doing a nice job with this book. I hadn't really heard of him before, so when he came on board I didn't know what to expect, but I really like what he's done so far. Also Freddie E. Williams really seems to be growing in to his role of artist. Again, not overly thrilled when he first came on board, but he really is getting better and better. This issue Robin is still on the track of the chemicals, drugs, that are turning a local street gang in to a group of rampaging, psychotic meta-humans. The problem also is that the longer they're in to this drug, the more they're degenerating. The first thing they're losing control of is their social skills, but I have a feeling it's going to be pretty much every body function after that. Somehow he has to tie all this to a local pharmaceutical company, Strader. He knows the drugs are coming from them, he just doesn't understand why, or what their goal is. Also he's having a hard time locking down substantial proof of their corroboration. He actually makes it in to the company headquarters, as Tim, on a research assignment. This helps him hack in to their computers. But they also know of this breech. So by the time Robin finds the gangs hideout, there's also a squad of mercenaries, hired by Strader, there to eliminate loose ends. But the loose ends are comatose and pretty much dead anyways. Now Robin just has to keep someone alive long enough to get some info out of them. No problem. Yeah. Right! But overall I'm very pleased with the direction this book has taken of late. Which is good, because Robin is a fantastic character.
