Well . . now that our team has gotten the whole "riding across America" thing out of their systems . . they've decided to settle down in Manhattan. Nothing like jumping in to the deep end of the pool when you just learned to swim. And to top things off, now it looks like they're going to have to start dealing with IO. They've all kind of gotten involved in their own things, but Caitlin, last issue, started noticing that she's being followed . . .everywhere. And not just being followed . . she's being filmed . . . from several different angles . . at all times. She hasn't told the rest of the team yet, though, because she's afraid that she's going to come across as paranoid. But, now that she's noticed it, she's really seeing it everywhere. She tries to confront it head-on, this issue, by knocking over a surveillance truck that's parked outside of their apartment. She's hoping that she'll get some kind of reaction, and she'll find out who's behind it. But . . they have cooler heads than that. Plus, things are a lot worse than she knows. We find out this issue, that all of the activities, and people, that the rest of the team is associating with . . . . are also all under the direction of IO. So the whole thing is like a big reality TV thing, with IO doing the scripts, and our hap-ward teenagers being the unknowing participants. The thing we don't know yet, is what IO is actually up to, and why they aren't just bringing the kids in. They have all these Rat-catchers standing-by, ready to jump in whenever the word is given. I just don't understand what this whole thing is all about. But I guess we'll find out next issue. Simon Oliver is the new scripter on the book. And Sunny Lee is doing the pencils. Sunny has the perfect feel for the book. But his skills aren't 100% yet. You can see progress in every issue, but he still has a ways to go. Overall, though, I think the book is just how I like it.
