I don't know why, but apparently Al Barrioneuvo has decided not to pencil these final 3 issues. He made it this far. Why not finish it. Bruce Jones is still writing the story, but it looks like Scott Kolins will be finishing up on art. This cool cover was done by Ladronn. Anyways, this issue, Akisha finally spills her guts to Lieutenant Carson. She's from the future, but the rest of her race doesn't look like her. She's a mutation. Which is why they sent her to spy on them . . she looks more like them. Basically, they've gathered warriors so that they could study them and learn from them the art of war. Although, I don't know why they couldn't have just bought the book. But now that they've been compromised . . GI Robot, Colonel Jape, who was actually a robot, and now Akisha . . they've decided it's time to terminate the experiment. I think they brought in these soldiers from all these different time periods because they knew they wouldn't trust each other. Nobody knew how they got there or why, so . . anybody could be the culprit. Eventually certain members would band together and then when they fought each other they would get their information and knowledge. However, what they never expected . . now that they have a definable for . . they've united and are working together to become a stronger group. They know that their watchers could strike at any time. They want to be ready. Again I have my complaint about these 12 issue maxi-series. If the story warrants that much coverage then fine. Fill up the 12 issues. But, it's been my experience that most of these stories are just dragged out to fill up the 12 issues. Meaning that there's a couple of issues in the middle that are just there for filler. This story may not have been able to tell in 6 issues, but . . it could've done it in 8. Even the Trials of Shazam! series seemed like it was to long. Anyways, that's my opinion. Take it or leave it.
