I don't know how he did it, but Rick Veitch wraps up almost every story-line he had going in this issue. He did leave a little opening in the Colonel Healey story-line. And since Secretary Stephalane is really in charge of the whole MOMO initiative, his story still has some mileage also. Most of Rick's story-lines stretched through these whole 12 issues. It really was like one big giant soap-opera. Except . . you know . . set up in some mid-east country . . in a fake war . . in the not to distant future. You could spread the irony in this book like butter. Rick doesn't spare any facet of the war making machine. Unfortunately, this makes the end of this chapter. I assume they scheduled 12 issues, hoping that it would go over. But, if not, then they had an out. My guess though . . . it went over bigger than they ever dreamed. It's scheduled to begin the next chapter some time this summer. It really was a fantastic book. And it appears to have caught on in the mass media. This month's cover has an endorsement from The Washington Post. I'm sure it'll be out in TPB soon. If you haven't read it, you should pick up the TPB and peruse a vibrant piece of political irony. I really don't know what else to say, other than . . . it was fantastic.
