Grifter / Midnighter #4 - Wildstorm


Finally! Finally, four issues in to it, and we finally learn what is going on. Well . . . not all of it. But, most of it. It seems our alien attackers are animals that were taken from their own ecosystem, it sounds like thousands of years ago, and bred and trained to be weapons. Due to their size and subterfuge, they were almost unstoppable. But, when they took the aliens, they took all males. So eventually, they would all die off. When they went back to the planet to get more, they found that the planet had disappeared. Well . . . not so much disappeared as crumbled in to pieces. This was in our galaxy . . . or close to it. Some of those pieces, I guess, drifted to our planet. Apparently a female, or her eggs, were on one of them. So now this alien race is trying to find it, so that it can resume it's rampage across the universe. This woman, Zee, who is helping them, is somehow connected to it. When one of the aliens shows up to take out the Grifter, he calls her a traitor. So . . . either she's one of them, or she has something to do with them. Either way I think she's bad news for the boys. Grifter and MidNighter end up saving each other's life this issue, plus they have a mutual enemy . . . so now they're friends. This should be interesting.
