Mystery in Space #8 - DC

I really liked the way they did this book. Actually, I liked the whole run, but more specifically, this issue. Basically, our two stories converged this issue. The Weird started out as like a back-up story. But, since both stories took place on Hardcore Station, and both stories were more interconnected than we were first led to believe, eventually they were going to have to come together and have a direct influence on each other's resolution. So in this issue, Ron Lim did the art for the Captain Comet portion on the story, and Jim Starlin did the art for the Weird part of the story. Right from the very first page, Comet is on his asteroid, kinda' his new "quiet spot", and the Weird is on Hardcore with Deacon Dark. Comet didn't know where this new adventure was going to take him, but the Weird knew that eventually he and Comet were going to have to come together, because Comet was in direct conflict with Dark. His unofficial employer. Comet has a plan which led the Psychic Monks, all clones made from his last body, right to his asteroid. Which is what he wanted, because then he destroys them all at once. As soon as he teleports back to Hardcore, the Deacon transports the Weird, literally, right on top of him. Which puts the 2 in direct conflict. What the Deacon didn't count on though is because the Weird is also a clone of Comet, there's a huge psychic connection. Comet gets tired of getting beat up, so he decides to take a different approach, and jumps right in to the Weird's mind. Once there he realizes what a cluttered mess it's become, and sets about organizing and straightening his thoughts. Which makes him immediately realize how wrong he's been. He then goes after the Deacon, but comes to find out, the Deacon is only an energy construct. No physical form whatsoever. Then Prime-7, who doesn't know what's happened to the Deacon, attacks Comet with all the androids. Comet, who is really pissed, uses all his frustration and power to send out a psychic backlash, which depletes his power, but also wipes out all the androids. Prime-7 is ready to take out the station, but when Comet was inside the church he left some carefully placed "surprises" behind. When Prime-7 refuses to back down, Comet sets them off, which takes out the Church and everyone in it. Meanwhile the Weird takes out the Deacon's energy. So then things get back to normal on the Station. Comet decides to stay. He and the Weird talk, but the Weird decides he wants to head towards earth and the adventures that await him in between. Hopefully we'll be seeing both characters in future storylines. They both have huge potential. Comet's been around forever, but not used prominently. The Weird's only been around for about 20 years, only?, but other than his first mini hasn't really been used at all. Maybe with a little luck, we'll see more or him and Jim Starlin. Without knowing future plans, we can only hope.
