We finally make some progress with this whole "virus" thing this issue. Well . . . not a lot of progress . . . but any is an improvement. First of all, Animal Man finds out by accident that a hefty dose of sun-light will pretty much knock it out of your system. Now he just has to figure out how to dose everybody in San Diego, under the dome of silence . . . er . . I mean the dome of protection that the aliens erected to try to contain the virus. But he also has to hurry because it seems like there's another stage of transformation that is occurring. He sees it first in his son, because he was one of the first one's infected. He's also making some progress with figuring out what's going on with that whole morphogenic field and everything. We find out that the virus does actually have something to do with Lady Styx. I suspected that all along actually. And on Rann, Adam Strange is about to find out he can do the same thing with Zeta radiation. But he's pretty much all alone there. He really doesn't have anyone to help him in that struggle. Oh yeah, we also find out that the carrier wasn't actually Starfire . . . like we all thought. But it's actually Buddy. Not a big leap there. But I think Starfire was the prime suspect. So now it's going to be even harder for Buddy because the aliens have taken him away. In the Forerunner story, Forerunner has taken over a pirate ship. In doing so, and in taking out most of the pirates on her own, she's assembled her own little fighting force. They tend to follow the strongest leader. But before she can go after Monarch, she's going to have to fight off the Thanagarian fighters that have begun to cluster around her new ship. The back-up story was by Justin Gray and Fabrizio Fiorentino. And the main story was by Adam Beechen and Allan Goldman. Allan's stuff is showing signs of definite improvement already. This guy may be a new up-and-comer. Fantastic book, and characters. I hope they continue someplace again after this.
