I really couldn't wait to get this little puppy in my hands. It's an 8 issue mini series . . but I'm hoping, maybe? . . that it'll lead to the return of Adventure Comics? Maybe? Please? Our last issue was #503, published in September of 1983. That's almost 25 years ago. Until that time, the book had been about since like the 40's. And it really has a wonderful history. It would be fantastic if it could come back to the shelves. Just think, if it had stayed on a regular schedule, it would be close to issue #800 right now. It's something to think about. Anyways, this issue reunites us with the space-faring trio that we saw in 52. They actually aren't all together. . . but their stories are more connected than they know. Buddy and Starfire have returned to Earth. Buddy actually returned sooner than she did, but when she does she comes straight to him. Which really doesn't make his wife very happy. Anyways, he's working on a movie set, as a stunt-man, the star of which, Steven Hazard, has been taken to Rann to become Adam Strange's replacement. We also get a look in to Forerunner's origins this issue. But I don't know how accurate they are because they're being told to her by Monarch, Captain Atom, who has recruited her to help build his army. So he has his own reasons to make sure she despises the Monitors. The first story was done by Adam Beechen and Eddy Barrows. Pretty cool story actually. The Forerunner story was done by Justin Gray and Fabrizio Fiorentino. This was also a pretty cool story. It'll be interesting to see where we go from here.
