This issue, the British Government extends it's hand in friendship to the Authority. They're hunkered down in a bunker complex in Rendlesham. They've got lots of stuff there . . stuff that would be of interest to the Authority. They're hoping that if they extend their hand in kindness that together they may be able to help each other in mending the world. Yeah? Right! And they don't have any alterior motive to their actions. That's why when they came upon Swift they forcibly subdued her and brought her to the bunker in restraints. But they're completely above board. Meanwhile, back on the Carrier, Angie is taking some of the refugees out on another scavenger hunt. They're looking for any tech that may be lying around. But during the course of the outing they find out that one of their number has been infected. He's been infected with the Warhol virus. I'm not sure what it does or why, but it turns him into this giant mutant looking creature. Much like the one on the cover. But uglier. Anyways, he just keeps growing and growing like a mongoloid shaped water balloon, until he hits himself against something and burst into a million wet slimy pieces. And Jack still doesn't look any better than he did in previous issues. I think his disconnection with the cities is really affecting his physical and emotional state. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are doing a great job with this story. You can really feel the dread and hopelessness from these characters. It permeates off of the page. I also enjoy Simon Coleby's art. But I was really impressed with Pete Woods art in the back-up story. It looks phenomenal. It's a story about Kaizen Gamorra, by Christos Gage. I like this title, but this entire issue was about Angie and Swift. Hopefully next issue, we'll see the rest of the team.
