This is a pretty cool series. First of all we have two fantastic characters, hence the name . . . Grifter / MidNighter. Then we have Chuck Dixon doing the story. So you just know it's going to be action packed. Well . . . it has to be with these two guys in the lead. And then Ryan Benjamin is doing the pencils. And they are fantastic. He obviously has a firm grasp on this type of book and action. The way his panels flow are incredible. And look at that cover. It's a thing of beauty. I'm still a little confused about what it is exactly that these guys are being brought together to fight. Before the MidNighter could see his nemesis, Grifter was getting visions and dreams of them. Either that or somehow he was attuning to their particular dimensional shift. Not sure how he was doing it, but . . . until other's could see them, he thought he was going crazy. Also it appears that there is a woman, isn't there always, who is purposely trying to bring these two together. Almost as if they are her chosen knights. They just don't know it yet. But I think they're starting to get the gist. She also has to play the referee because these two . . . . will never play nice. All she says at the end is that they have a planet to save. Their own? Someone else's? Hers? We just don't know yet. Hell it's taken us 3 issues just to get these 2 close enough to be able to carry on a conversation without trying to blow each other's head off. I can't wait to see how they can save a world, without killing each other. Should be a blast.
