First of all, the thing that impress' me the most about this book is the art. Carlos Rodriguez has really done a phenomenal job with this book so far. I think Bit is helping the overall look with his inks, but, none-the-less, the pages look spectacular. The frame of Rex floating through space was excellent, as was the one of Batgirl crawling through the tunnel. Brilliant perspective. Anyways, Rex went in to space to stop the Jardine space mission, but what he found on the moon? . . he really didn't expect. It a huge space station being run by, what appears to be, zombie-like technicians. But what really gets him is that they're of all races and nationalities. So apparently, whomever is abducting them isn't race or gender specific. Also when he tries to confront them, they all start shouting in this language that he doesn't understand. And they're all using the same language. When he landed, he assumed that they were building a space-station, or rocket, or something. But when he gets shoved out the air-lock and is floating through space, he gets a different perspective. It appears that what they're building is a really big gun. Meanwhile, Batgirl, the only member not captured from their little excursion in to the Jiuquan region, is trying to formulate a plan to free Ollie, Grace and Katana. As this issue ends, Rex has abducted a shuttle and is heading back towards Earth. Our captured members look to be facing a firing squad And Batman and Nightwing have come to talk to Francine and Anissa. But before they can even begin talking about the captured Red OMAC, Batman gets a call from Salah. Batman informs Anissa, "We could use your help Thunder. You wanted a second chance, and we might be the Outsiders last." Chuck Dixon has put together a fantastic story-line here. But then, this is the perfect realm for him to exhibit his writing abilities. No one can handle a cast of characters this big like Chuck can. I was worried when the last series ended, but this is an excellent "next step".
