First of all, I'm just in awe over that Ethan Van Sciver cover. It's simply fantastic. And I have to say, on the inside, Pat Olliffe's pencil's really seem to be improving. I know the guy has incredible talent. It just seems like he's really starting to get in to this book more. Last issue ended with Oolong island being stormed by all of the un-dead. Somehow they had been transported right from Biayla to the island. Luckily though, Dr. Caulder and the Doom Patrol are there to try to help with the fight. Otherwise, Wonder Woman would've been standing solo. There seems to be an uneasy alliance that's been formed between Dr. Cale and Dr. Caulder. Meanwhile, back in Biayla Batman, Superman and Snapper Carr have come face to face with 2 of the Horsemen. Superman's struggling, because of the infection in his bite, but Batman is trying to stay on top of things. Superman seems to be holding his own against Famine, and Batman has had Plague transported directly to him. But in Superman's case, Death has shown up and seems to have turned the tide against him. Meanwhile back on Oolong, they've erected a force field around the island, but War has joined the fracas and is attempting to gain entry. Death is frustrated over their inability to overcome this paltry display of resistance. "This must not stand. Hope is a dire catalyst. Where there is hope there can never be dominion. We are of dominion. The three who would stand against us inspire hope. The island of our "birthing" seethes with hope . . . ultimately futile. We are the harbingers. We are inevitable. This world will be ours." So it looks like the die has been cast. And with 2 issues to go, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. I like this mini a lot more than I thought I would.
