I'm not exactly sure what this series is trying to accomplish. The only thing that's really been consistent so far is that there seems to be someone that is trying to take out all of the Presidential candidates, and . . for some reason, the heroes have decided to start coming out in support of their favorite politicians. It started with Green Arrow last issue, who actually got kind of shanghaied into it but then decided that he would follow through anyways. This issue Guy Gardner follows his lead and openly decides to support his candidate. The person that's after these candidates seems to have some sort of mind control. The people that he's sending after them are just normal everyday citizens, except that they arrive at the rally's or offices with bombs strapped to their chests. This issue when the bomber fails, one of the candidates aides pulls a gun on him. So are the heroes being mind controlled also? They seem to be pretty split about whether they should be acting this way or not. Obviously it's a play on the upcoming election, but there has to be something else at stake here. I just haven't figured out yet what that is. Judd Winick and Bill Willingham, I think, are doing an excellent job with the story. I can't say that I ever recall Judd and Bill teaming up before. But they seem to work pretty well together. Howard Porter does the art, and I've been a fan of his for quite a while. It's an interesting series, but like I said . . I just don't know yet what the point is. However, the assassin will be revealed next issue. Alright . . we'll see if that helps.
