This is, at least I thought, an Authority book. But actually, it's more about Henry Bendix than the Authority or StormWatch. With this issue, they make it in to the bunker. But what they find there is even beyond their wildest imaginations. It looks as if this is where Henry did his experiments on making super-powered people. There's a lot of experiments here that were never finished. And a lot of failures. Either way it looks like something from a Clive Barker story in here. And the biggest experiment seems to be on himself. He took control of Rose Tattoo last issue, and she's on the rampage this one. But her mayhem seems to just be a cover for the big experiment that was never finished . . Henry's clone. Well . . the clone is finished. But the process to give him powers wasn't. Until now. On the final page of the book, he appears over there heads, not unlike the angel of death. "It was destiny. My ascension . . and your deaths." Overall it's a pretty good book. It's by Christos Gage and Darick Robertson. But I have to say, what's really got me worried is that in the coming attractions, when you get to like May or June, there's no real WildStorm books listed. There's licensed products listed. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Lost Boys, Supernatural and World of Warcraft. But the only real WildStorm books listed are Midnighter, Number of the Beast, which picks up right after Revelations, and an Authority origin book, for Jack Hawksmoor. So where's the rest of the WildStorm Universe? I'm going to have to do some digging and let you know what I find out. Till then . . TTFN!
