Well, I thought this issue was an interesting set-up for the story to come. We don't really get a whole lot of information though. Basically, parts of the DC Universe are being relocated to the WildStorm Universe. I think they're popping in the WSU in the exact same location as in the DCU. That's why Titans tower pops into the middle of Riker's Island Prison. But the occurrences are happening across time as well as space. The Titans that come in are the ones from the New Teen Titans. While in Russia, the Legion of Super-Heroes headquarters is sitting inside a glacier. Just the spaceship part of the structure is above ground. "Check out the fins. It's a spacecraft as envisioned by a grade school kid." But the geographic relocation's are in some cases causing natural disasters, which is why the heroes of the WSU are viewing the events as an attack. Although, I think the heroes of the DCU are just as mystified. Anyways, Alan Scott, Jay Garrick and Ted Grant have shown up in Tranquility. And Superman, for some reason, has shown up in the bedroom of Grifter. All he has to say is "Never again.", whatever that means. Like I said, we don't get to much this issue. Really, all we know for sure is the Authority and StormWatch's reaction to the events going on around them. I imagine next issue we'll see more of what the DCU heroes are thinking. So I'm wondering, is the intrusion just from various heroes, or is it a team thing? If so, it appears to be the Titans, the Legion and the Justice League, with some Society members thrown in. It'll be interesting to see where Keith Giffen goes with this story. I am very impressed by Lee Garbett's pencils. Of course Trevor Scott's involvement, I'm sure, helps the overall look. The first issue though, definitely has my attention. By the way, the variant cover of Superman and Midnighter was definitely worth the $10.
