Countdown to Adventure #8 - DC

This ended up being a great series. Adam Beechen and Allan Goldman, ended up having some work to be very proud of here. Allan hasn't been around for long, that I know of, but I first noticed him on the Superman titles. I thought he was ok. However, as he's progressed through this book . . he has definitely improved. This guy has some serious potential. Anyways, when they recharged Kory, she used her powers to cure Rann. Now they're back on Earth, and she needs to do the same thing for these people. However, the Healers have their drones flying all over the place . . and up everybody's you-know-what! Eventually, Buddy uses his new powers to communicate with the Healers, and gets them to call off the cleansing until they can try to cure things with Kory. After all of that, it's kind of anti-climatic. Adam goes back to Rann to be it's champion . . Kory's going back to the Titans . . and Buddy decides he just going to settle in and enjoy his family for a while. Well . . that is, until the Rann / Thanagar war explodes. Also Lady Styx is not very happy about he set-back on these 2 worlds. In the backup, Forerunner, after commandeering a Thanagarian vessel, finds out that . . . it's out of gas. So they're stuck . . floating around space. That is until they come across this galaxy farm. It's a place where new planets are born, until they can be taken out to the star-system in which they'll live. Long story short, she ends up escorting the planet, but in order to protect it, she has to give it some of her blood so it can make anti-bodies. Actually more like Golems . . to fight the invading horde. Obviously they win, but the planet offers her a new place to call home. It'll be teaming with live soon, and since she gave up some of her blood, all of it, down to the smallest amoeba, will basically be a descendant of her. She can have a whole new family. One that doesn't have to fight and struggle to maintain an existence. She accepts, so, I think, the story of Forerunner . . is actually just beginning. I thought it was a very good series. It had a lot of action and suspense, not to mention a great cast of characters. I just hope we get to see more of these guys in the near future. Keep it coming!
