WildCATS #5 - WildStorm


This issue was all about Hadrian. We really see very few of the other team-mates. Basically, with everything that's happened . . not just since the end of the world, but . . right from the beginning of the WildCATS, Lord Emp, Majestic, and all of it . . . with everything that's happened to him over the course of time . . years . . he doesn't really know who he is. He knows who people want him to be. He know how people perceive him. But, he doesn't really know himself. And, if he's going to be the leader of this team . . the salvation to hundreds of thousands of survivors . . he needs to figure that out. I like the story that Christos Gage has been putting together here ever since the world's end. I'm glad that this team is back together. But, as Pris points out this issue . . it's not really a team. It's a group of friends. A family. And they all perform, and aspire to greater things when they do so together rather than separately. And with all of these survivors counting on them . . looking to them for guidance . . they really need to be performing to the best of their abilities. Pete Woods does the art this issue. It's ok. I'm actually a fan of his work. But sometimes . . it's hard to explain, but sometimes . . his work just seems a little 'vanilla' to me. I'm really not trying to be derogatory. It's just a little 'plain' sometimes. Anyways, I like this book and the team. My only complaint about this issue is that we don't really get the chance to see what's going on in the rest of the world. But, I'm sure we'll get back to the post-apocalyptic tale next issue.
