Ok, my faith in this book is redeemed with this issue. The StormWatch team is going to cross-over with WetWorks, but . . since they don't have their own title right now, it won't be the convoluted mess that we had with the Authority. That was probably the worst cross-over ever. Well, the story overall wasn't to bad, but the way that they told it and had it bouncing around through the books? That was agonizing. Anyways, up in the Satellite, they're trying to figure out what's going on with Fuji. But with all of the testing in inquiries, we're learning more and more about Fuji and Hellstrike. I'm not sure what all of this has to do with everything, overall, but . . I'm sure we'll find out soon. Meanwhile, Christine sent an operative into Eastern Europe, Petra Marceau, when 2 of their other operatives failed to report in. It's kind of a dicey situation because pretty much the whole continent is going through a nuclear winter right now. Communication is sketchy, at best. Teleporting? It's about as dangerous as it gets. It may or may not work. Despite that, Deathblow and his team 'port in to try to save the comrade. It turns out everything has been taken over by the night tribes, vampires, and the whole thing was a trap to try to get more 'supers' under their influence. Sister Mary ends up showing up to pull all of their collective asses out of the fire. We find out, " . . Kabras has a new goal. He's fixed his eye on the east. He knows about North Korea and the mountain-deep bunkers that can house vampires by the million. He doesn't just want their blood, to raise them as cattle, he want to raise an army. He wants the world." And this is where their paths are going to cross with WetWorks. After the last couple of issues, I thought Ian Edginton and Leandro Fernandez did a great job with this issue. Now, if we can just keep this momentum going . . this'll be a great book once again. I hope.
