Well, it looks like MidNighter has gotten himself knee deep in to another situation. Basically, he wanted to get himself a normal life. Well . . not entirely. He just wanted someplace that he could go to, to unwind. A place that he could call home. A place where he could get away from things. No? Ok, maybe I don't buy it either. But I do think he wants a place to get away from the rest of the Authority. I don't know why though. We haven't seen much of them lately. Hint! Hint! So anyways, he assumes the identity of one Lucas Trent. A real boring guy. A guy from Harmony Indiana. Population 2420. A real honest to goodness small town. Except . . . this town seems to have a secret. First of all they're really protective. When he gets to town, he has to go to the town courthouse and register with some company, or other, that protects them. Goes by the name of Anthem. Anthem Security, I guess. Anyways, he checks out clean because . . . well . . his identity was fabricated for him. So they let him stay. But he soon finds these guys around town that seem to wear a flag for a face. Last issue I thought they were just being symbolic. But . . I guess that's what they actually look like. They're called Bellwether. His new buddy, Dorsett, kind of fills him in. "He's a Bellwether. It's "Yes sir! No sir! Have a nice day sir!" . . . period." Well whoever they are, they've determined that the MidNighter is in their little hamlet. So I guess they want to put him to a test. They bring in a woman meta to force a confrontation, and then when Anthem shows up, he takes a door out of town. But the mystery is just beginning. As he's standing on the outskirts of town, he's thinking "They weren't surprised to find me here. Most definitely . . not good!" Keith Giffen is at the writing helm of this book now. And it looks like Chriscross will be doing the pencils. If nothing else, it should be an interesting ride.
