This issue, really, was just a big fight scene between Midnighter and this generation eight guy. The Midnighter picked up on his arrival to town and decided to pay him a visit. The problem is though, while the Midnighter has all the "upgrades" that help him in a battle, it seems like the other guy learns rapidly. He puts up a little bit of a fight at first, but it seems like he gets better as he goes along. That or the Midnighter's getting slower. "A modified, carrier-immune nerve toxin disseminated via perspiration. Unregulated genetic research does have it's benefits. Your reputation precedes you. A double-edged sword, that. If it means anything, you should have gone down within thirty seconds of initial contact. Impressive . . . if futile." He then cuts the implant out of MidNighters kneck, puts it in his own, then dons his costume. Mindy's watching from outside. But, he knows that. He turns to give her a snide grin, then calls up a door to the Carrier. "That can't be good." A fantastic story by Keith Giffen and Lee Garbett. Lee's art was pretty good throughout the issue, but I gotta' tell you . . . I love that cover. The symbolism . . the irony . . the art . . all fantastic. It'll probably be one of my all-time favorite covers. I also like that Keith is shaking things up a bit. I'm a big fan of change. It promotes new ideas . . and new ways of looking at things. So bring it on Mr. Giffen. Let's see what you have in store for us next. Obviously, I thought it was a fantastic issue.
