MidNighter #10 - WildStorm


Well it looks like Keith Giffen is coming on board, as of this issue, as the scripter. That's cool. He comes up with some pretty neat ideas. It'll be interesting to see what he does with this character. This issue, the MidNighter has decided that he needs to come up with a secret identity. Who he was, before he was changed, is completely lost. So he needs to start completely from scratch. He finds this computer geek to do it for him. Somebody he has no connection with, and nobody knows. And, since he's a pedophile, when he's done . . . he can kill him. His new name is Lucas Trent, and he lives in Harmony Indiana. Now what MidNighter doesn't know, is that there's something screwy in the state of Harmony. I don't know what the whole extent of it is yet, but they seem to have a Stepford Wives thing going on here. Not exactly like that. But everyone seems to be living in fear. They have a nice quiet town, and it appears they'll do whatever they have to to keep it that way. Well, MidNighter, I mean Trent, opens a door and steps out right outside the city limits. He wants to try to establish his new life. But I think he's going to be in for a surprise when he gets in to town. Like I said, Keith imbues his writing with neat concepts and ideas. And it looks like he's starting out with some right out of the gate. It should prove to be interesting.
