Well, after our WildStorm Armageddon story-line, we finally have this series, Revelations, where we're supposed to find out just what the hell is going on. In the prelude series, the only person sent to the future that actually learned anything was Nemesis. Unfortunately, nobody likes or trusts her, so . . . it's going to be hard for her to find allies. However, she has done so with Savant, and Backlash. It took a little convincing, but she finally convinces them that she's on the up and up. With that out of the way she can then proceed to tell them the story about the future . . . and the destruction of the human race. Now they have to figure out where they're going to get answers from. They decide to start at the top . . . with the Authority. They set up a little distraction so they can go and try to drain the information from their data-banks. But, on the final page, they return from the fiasco, pissed, and before our trio has been able to finish their mission. Scott Beatty and Christos Gage are the writers here. I like the story, and the interaction between characters. Wes Craig does the art. I don't know that I've actually seen his work before, but, I have to say, I like what I see here. The guy shows huge potential. Some of his panels are breathtaking, while a few seem a bit . . . rushed. But he does have good perspective and flow. It's the panels that are great that lead me to believe, with the proper balance of time and attention, he could really be a superstar. I'm sure, by the end of this series, he'll have some of that worked out. Well, from my understanding, this series is going to define the future of the WildStorm Universe. So, you better be paying attention. Being only a 6 issue mini, they're going to have to cover a lot of ground in a short period of times. Keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times, because the rides about to begin.
