Ok. Red Bee was altered by that alien race of insects, but . . . we didn't really know how much until this issue. She's being held as SHADE headquarters by Robbins. He claims he's only running tests on her, but now that he knows how powerful she really is, he wants her on his team that's going to replace the Freedom Fighters, the Crusaders. He telepathically tries to control her, but her mind is to strong for him. In fact, she turns the tables on him and ends up snapping his neck in the struggle. As soon as she does, everyone who was under his influence . . . all the Crusaders . . . get their minds back. That's when Uncle Sam shows up with the rest of the team. He would've been there sooner but he was trying to deal with a problem in the lower levels of the Pentagon. Darrel Dane, the original Doll-Man, has been stuck here, by Father Time for some experiment that seems to have gotten completely out of control. He and a whole squadron of soldiers have been miniaturized for months, which is seriously affecting their moods and sanity. At first he fights Sam and the new Doll-Man, but eventually Sam gets him to listen to the voice of reason. He's going to get Emma to look at her father's notes and figure out if there's a way to reverse the process. Anyways, when Sam arrives, Red Bee has already killed Robbins. And now, she wants the world to become her collective. Yes she wants to be the Queen, and the whole world will become her drones. And, by the end of this issue, it looks like she's at least over will-powered everyone within this facility. Including the Freedom Fighters. So how are they going to get out of this one? This story was brought to us by the usual team of Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Renato Arlem. It was a great issue in a wonderful series. Nice cliff-hanger ending too!
