I'm glad that this series is back. Yes, it's only a mini again, but . . at least we get to see Jim Starlin's work for the next 8 months again. Right? Anyways, all the usual subjects are back again for this issue. We pick up right where we left off with Holy-War. Throneworld has become New Rann. With the destruction of their atmosphere, Prince Gavyn has offered sanctuary to the Rannians on his planet. There's no one living there anyways, since Lady Styx wiped out all the population there. Captain Comet is back on Hardcore Station, but of course he runs into a bit of trouble and has to find a job off of the station to get away for a little while. Also the Weird appears to be back, but . . he seems a little different for some reason. And of course there's a new threat. There's rumors floating around that Throneworld is defenseless now, so scavengers have been showing up. Prince Gavyn and Adam Strange go up to scare them away when Adam notices that there's a spot in space where all the stars have disappeared. It's not to far from New Rann. Also Deacon Dark is back in the back-up story. Which in this case, Jim does the art for this one also. Man I love his stuff. With Lord Synnar missing, the Deacon is trying to figure out all that he can about the Lord's chosen warriors, the Aberrant Six. He wants to start with Hawkman, but he ends up confronting Bizarro first. However, Bizzarro isn't ready for this group yet . . his mind is fractured. So the Deacon has decided to work with him. "You now begin a journey that may bring enlightenment. We shall meet again soon, my warrior. The to heed my and Coriolis's counsel." But it looks to me like Coriolis, Deacon's underling, is going to be the wrench in the Deacon's plans. I have a feeling this guys really going to mess things up. Manuel Garcia does the art this time for the main story. It's to bad Shane Davis couldn't come back, but he's doing lots of other stuff. I will say though, Manuel's work looks really good. Plus his stuff fits perfectly with Jim's story. This is going to be another great series. I can't wait to see what comes out of this one.
