Man! This book goes away for about 8 months, but when it comes back . . . it really comes back. Now we've had 3 issue in the last 8 weeks. I guess they were just saving them up to release them all at once. But that's ok . . at least we're getting some new stuff now. I'm not overly thrilled with the new artwork of Yildiray Cinar, but . . you know what? This series has never had a superstar on the art chores. But the artists they have had have all risen to the challenge. I'm sure after a couple of issue, Yildiray will have impressed his style onto this book, and we'll feel like he's truly a part of it. At least I hope so. I told you, I'm a 'glass half-full' kind of guy. Anyways, I don't understand the whole Egyptian god thing, in the beginning of this book, but, as per the norm, the action is only a couple of pages long, and the rest of the book is spent on character and story development. Personally, I like it better that way. I like the stories that seem like a soap-opera, and this book definitely falls into that category. This book really is a soap-opera, whose characters just happen to belong to a super-powered family. And right now that family's concerned because Surge's new girlfriend Amy, almost took out Frost last issue. I'm not sure who she's working for, but she does have an agenda. However, it appears that no one suspects her of anything yet. In the meantime, Doc, Surge and Olympia have gone to collect Bonechill, another temperature based meta, to try to do a blood-transfusion with Frost. They're hoping that the similarities will help to stabilize his condition. But the way they go about it . . isn't exactly above board. Personally I think they're crossing a line they won't be able to uncross. But . . we'll see. There's also a hint that Olympia's marriage to Doc may have been . . . arranged. By . . . Gaia?! As Arte Johnson used to say, "Very interesting". I'm glad this books back, and I'm glad it's got a full head of steam on it. I want to get back in to these character's lives.
