This issue, our new Post Human Division of Stormwatch, is about to be put to the test. It seems Lord Defile has been using Fahrenheit to gather information on her team. He keeps promising her that he can help her get her powers back. So she been feeding him, what she thinks is, just background information that shouldn't be important to either one of them. But apparently he thinks it is, because he's put a team together and has decided to lead a direct assault on her team, right at home in the police precinct where they're at. We don't see to much action this issue. They realize they're being assaulted, but they haven't figured out who or why yet. Lord Defile has gone after their big guns first, Black Betty, whom he's got wrapped up in some mystical snake, something, and Dr. Shaw whom he already has transformed into his monster form. But now that he's like that, I don't really see how either side can control him. But Defiles opponents aren't strictly limited to the members of the PHD that Paris and Jackson have put together. He's assaulting the home of a lot of good officers, so on the final page we see Paris getting ready to lead a group of heavily armed men, officers, in to battle. And you know these guys are going to fight with their all, to protect their home. Lord Defile may have miscalculated here. But, we'll have to wait until next issue to find out. Great story by Christos Gage, and fantastic art by Doug Mahnke. I wasn't sure about this book at first, but I really think it's going to be a powerhouse.
