Number of the Beast #6 - WildStorm


With this issue, all the heroes, and villains, that have been kept in these containment containers have been set free. Mostly that to the work and determination of the High. He's the one that really spear-headed everything, and got the others behind him. We find out that the technology to do this was given to the government by an alien . . Slyxx. He's been in league with the American government since this whole thing started back at the end of WWII. Unfortunately it wasn't really made for as many people as the government had put in it, and it wasn't supposed to last nearly this long . . 63 years. Presently, it looks as if all the heroes and villains have put their differences aside . . all except for Dr. Sin, that is . . . to try to work together to figure out what's going on here, and . . where on Earth they are. The High has gone up into space to confront Stormwatch where they reside. And the Authority has come down to the installation where they were all being kept, I guess as kind of a janitor . . to clean up the mess. Meanwhile the government is ready to just nuke the whole place . . wipe it from the face of the Earth and start over. You just know that things are going to escalate dramatically. Scott Beatty and Chris Sprouse are doing a great job with this series. But we only have 2 issue to go. 2 issues until . . . the fall of the Wildstorm Universe? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
