Really, the only thing I don't like about this book is all these Vampire stories. Can't we do something different? Every once in a while? Anyways, this issue sports a nice Mike McKone cover, with Brandon Badeaux doing the interior pencils. Visually, the book is very solid. The story is ok also. We're really only getting bite sized pieces of this whole Armageddon thing. This issue Void comes to get Colonel Dane's help. We already have a great cast of characters here, but in the future, there's 2 or 3 more that are added that are pretty cool. This almost reminds me of that thing Image did, about 12 or so years ago, where every series they had out, no matter what issue number it was on, they published issue #25. You know, to give us a future look at where the team was going. Remember that? That's kind of the feel I get from these one shots when they bounce in to the future. I know it's not the same thing, but it just kind of has that feel to it. Anyways, we do find out, at the end of this issue, that Void doesn't seem to be gathering these hero's for the help to stop the future. It looks like what she wants more is for them to stop her. " . . oh Dane, you misunderstood. It wasn't the night tribes. They just took advantage of it. It's my fault. I need to be clearer next time . . . but . . I'm so weak . . . even worse in astral form. It's so hard to think . . so hard to do anything . . ." And it looks like somebody is trying to hold her hostage, but we don't know who yet. It's somebody who's familiar with her though, because they refer to her as Nikola. Hopefully, with Void's involvement, this is all a prelim to the return of the WildCATS. That would be nice. It's a shame to have such a great cast of characters running around in limbo out there. But, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
