First of all, I just gotta say, Darrick Robertson seems to be everywhere this month. We got a little while until his next issue of the Boys come out, so I guess he's keeping himself busy by filling in all over the place in the meantime. Nothing wrong with that. And I like his work so . . . no down side. Anyways, Mike Carey is getting closer to wrapping up this storyline. Our team has gone to see John Savoy, the king of the earth vampires, but it's seems that it was a setup. But really, our team pretty much knew that going in. I mean they're some pretty heavy hitters themselves, so . . . I think they just wanted to go in gun blazing and see what they're up against. What they find is a bunch of human vampires that have been transformed through Thea Mater magics. Meanwhile, Ab Death and Red are talking to the physical manifestation of the Blood Box over in Deadworld. As much as Simon Vascar wants to bring Thea Mater's magics and such over to our world, the Blood Box, filled with the souls of 30 years of vampire executions, also wants to be the king of his world. In our world he's nothing but a lifeless box of silver, but in the Deadworld, because of all the souls that inhabit him, he is pretty powerful. And he may reign supreme. But if Ab Death and Red can stop him here, then Simon won't be able to use it's magics to infect our world. And right now Simon is at the sight of Bromion Ground, the prison on Thea Mater. Or at least the Mesa where it would be if it were on our world. And this is where Simon is going to make his stand. Simon and John Savoy are here with the hostages they have gathered. And Dane and his crew have followed him here to try to thwart his plans. Also the Blood Box had been summoned by Simon so it is here. And Ab Death and Red, following the trail of the Blood Box, are on their way. So . . . next issue we'll find out what Simon's ultimate plans are, and how this is all going to come together. Or . . . come apart. But overall, a very engrossing story.
