They've been talking, the last couple of issue, about how Majestic has gone crazy. This issue, he starts out by attacking the Halo Building, but then, after Charis puts a sword through him, he tries the diplomatic approach. I don't know that he's necessarily insane . . but, he is driven. He's goes on about his story . . he was near Hawaii went everything started going loopy. He ended up defending the islands when a gaggle of, what he considered insane 'supers' . . heroes and villains alike . . tried to attack the island. The locals were so happy that he was able to save them the same fate as the rest of the world, they made him the king of the islands. He saw it as the chance to shape the society that would inherit the Earth. He wants to combine the best of Earth, and the best of Khera, which he thinks will " . . one day herald a new golden age for mankind." Right now he doesn't care much about the rest of the world, he's going to focus his attention on the little corner of it where he feels he can make the most impact. If you want to call that insane . . then I guess he is. Basically, this whole issue is spent sorting out this whole thing with Majestic. Really the only thing that happens with the WildCATS, or even at Halo, is that Majestic takes a plane-load of the survivors back to the islands with him. This story was brought to us by Christos Gage and Neil Googe. In the back-up, we're seeing the Wetworks team as they fight for the independence of Europe. Eastern Europe belongs to the Vampires and the night tribes. Wetworks is leading the resistance in the rest of Europe . . the sunlit zones . . battling to liberate what remains of humanity. They appear to have won . . at least this part of the conflict, but Dane is contacted by Lynch . . about that whole trouble with Tao . . he wants to put Team7 back together. This part of the story is brought to us by Christos Gage and Brandon Badeaux. Overall I enjoyed the book, but I would've liked to have seen some more about WildCATS and Halo, in the first story, rather than spending the whole thing concentrating on Majestic. I know it was a necessary story, but I think we could've covered other areas also. I enjoy Christos' stories, but I think this is one of his weakness' . . having multiple story-lines going in the same book. He gets alot of information across in his tales, but it tends to usually be very singly focused. Although I'm sure he'll get better as he gets more experience under his belt. I'm really looking forward to this book, and . . if that's the worst complaint I have . . that's not to bad.
