Basically what's going on here is, Void shows up and takes MidNighter in to the future to show him what is happening. We don't really find out how far it is in the future, but I'm guessing, at most, it's a couple of months to a year. Two things are happening actually. First there seems to be a mental breakdown of all the supers on Earth. Void has given him the task of finding out what happened, so that he can try to prevent it. It doesn't take long for him to run in to a bunch of supers. And of course they hit first and ask questions later. But he does finally talk one down and calms her enough to ask some questions. " . . . Armageddon, the survivors are calling it. The sky crackling with energy. Post-Humans fighting each other, taking out whole cities." She also talks about "norms" disappearing, and the Carrier crashing in to London. He eventually makes it on to the Carrier, and finds out that they've tried to gather up all the "norms" they could, and are trying to keep them safe on the upper levels. The levels that are actually higher than the Earth's atmosphere. But eventually post-humans that don't have to breathe make it up there, so they have to stay on board to protect them. The Carrier crashed because of something to do with the containment field around the baby-universe the powers the ship. Jenny got to it and transported it somewhere, but it still took down their ship. Before he can find out much else, Void shows back up and takes him home. I'm really not sure what's going on yet. I know that this story-line is going to cross over in to all of the WildStorm books. I'm guessing that we're not going to get to much information with each issue. I think Void is trying to put it all together, but she's going to utilize different resources to do so. But it's going to leave a bunch of heroes with a pretty grim outlook for their future. Tranquility is the next installment, and I think WetWorks after that. Hopefully, by that time, we'll have a better idea of what the overall agenda is supposed to be. I'll be sure to let you know . . . as I know. What else can I do?
