There's a problem here that I don't think that Adam Strange is grasping yet. Our group of heroes . . Synarr refers to them as the aberrant six . . is trying to put a kink in Synarr's plans to become omnipotent. He already refers to himself as Synarr the Demiurge . . basically, the architect of God. But I guess he has to obtain more power before he can consider himself God's equal . . which apparently is his plan. So right now our group is trying to cut off his power source. There's a couple of problems though. First off is a barrier that Synarr has constructed to shield his presence during this process . . from god . . and to keep anyone out that might thwart his plans. He's a little late for that because the aberrant six are inside of the barrier. However, Sardath, or any of the Rannian fleet cannot permeate the barrier to assist in the battle. Adam does see, in the distance, that Lady Styx is approaching with her full fleet. So he has a plan to attack from the inside, with the assist of Lady Styx attacking from the outside. The Zeta beam will not crack the shell, but Captain Comet's teleportation powers can. Anyways, the part I don't think that Adam is comprehending is that by doing this . . creating this conflict and loss of life . . he's playing right into Synarr's plan. In order for him to obtain god-hood, I think he has to survive Armageddon . . . which Adam and his group is graciously supplying him. I love the way that Jim Starlin constructs these cosmic odysseys. This is definitely his forte. The only thing that I would improve upon this series, is that it would be nice if Jim also did the pencils. But, I think that Ron Lim is a more than adequate fill-in. His pencils do a good job of capturing the grandiose space-opera that is unfolding here. I hope these characters stick together and move on to another story after this one. I think they make a great . . and diverse . . team. Only 1 more issue to go . . it should be a doozy.
