What I really liked about this book, is that is really had the feel of the old, original, Gen13. You know, the J Scott Campbell part of the series. It was fun, irreverent and jocular. Of course it was also cool that the Authority showed up. Our heroes, actually maybe they're more of anti-heroes, just want to get away from all the authority figures chasing them. And then the ultimate one's show up. Jenny is telling the team that their existence is somehow jeopardizing the world. Actually all of existence. But she won't get in to specifics. Our gang let's loose, mainly because they're just tired of being hounded. Well . . . also because they found out that their whole existence, up until a couple of days ago, has all been a fabrication. Parents, family, school, friends. . . . all of it like an elaborate maze for them to try to scurry through. Well now they're out of the maze, and they just wanna be left alone. But then Roxy yells at the MidNighter, and somehow gets him to change his mind. "That's how it always starts. But someday the enemies are conquered, and the war machine sits there on idle. And then what? Someone's gotta feed that beast. And this time, it's us. My friends. Just do what you're gonna do. Take us prisoner. Lock us up. It's pretty obvious we can't do anything to stop you. It's what you're good at." And that's when the MidNighter calls it off and says they're leaving. But he leaves them some words of wisdom, "Kid. Listen up. You're not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to exist at all. Stick to the shadows. Find a place to hide. And try not to destroy the multiverse. I'll be watching. Good fortune, Roxanne Spaulding." And with that, they're back on the road. And it looks like their next stop . . . is going to be Tranquility. I really liked the feel of this issue. Like I said, it put me back in mind of the original series. Which I think is a pretty good camparison. Keep up the good work guys . . . er. . . . and gals.
