WildStorm - Revelations #4 - WildStorm


This time our trio of hot women have gone after a more direct source. They've gone right to Backlash's father . . Director Slayton. Director of Dept. PSI. "Even I/O is a little bit afraid of us and we're all on the same team now!" But they aren't really after her father, they're just using him as a diversion to keep Dept. PSI busy, while Nemesis gains access to their Smart Room. Basically, this is the room where they keep all their information on anything, no matter how important or minuscule. She's looking for proof of their scheme to make a whole generation of heroes disappear. And she's found it. "Mostly names and dates. A direction finally." But when they get back to their safe-house, they're greeted by Grifter and Savant. And they want answers. My question is this, Director Slayton hung around to find out what these girls are up to . . . honestly, he could've gotten out of their restraints at any time. So if he misted up and flew away, how safe is their safe-house now that he knows where it's at? And it's only a matter of time before he brings Dept. PSI down on top of them. Just an observation. But we do still have 2 issue left in this series so it could go anywhere. I'm just glad we're making some progress on the mystery this time, instead of all the ambiguous stuff that happened in Armageddon. And from this series, our story rolls over in to a new mini, Number of the Beast. That one's going to be by Scott Beatty and Chris Sprouse. This series has been brought to us by the co-writing of Scott Beatty and Christos Gage, and the very adept art stylings of Wes Craig. I hadn't heard of that guy, before this series, but, I gotta' say, he definitely shows some huge potential. I like this series. These characters are fun. I like the way they try to keep things up-beat all of the time. But, from what I understand, the ultimate goal here is the revamping of the WildStorm Universe. So we'll just have to wait and see where we go from here.
