The whole purpose of this issue was to finally reveal to us who the captors of all of these soldiers are . . and what is their purpose for this assumed social experiment. "Each of you was plucked from your various time-lines because your involvement had a major influence on an important war in Earth's history . . a war that altered the course of human events. After years of grueling timeline calculation, Earth's remaining survivors determined which battles in which wars led to the planet's eventual demise. You can liken it to the way free radicals disrupt human DNA and eventually destroy the body with cancer. If cancer can be prevented by the removal of free radicals, they reasoned . . so the removal of those responsible for past wars could curb the technology and leadership that destroyed the planet." So I guess we're to assume then that their captors are actually people from a future Earth? Or, they're just an outside alien race from the future that witnessed what happened to Earth and are trying to prevent it. I'm a little confused as to which is the true scenario. But honestly . . it really doesn't matter. There's been some conflict between the various people in this series, Trang had a baby, and we've found out that most of the animals and a few of the people here are actually robots. But really, that's about all that happened through the first 9 issues of this book. This issue . . issue #10, has been the most informative to date. So 10 months later we start to get a hint as to what's really going on here. Did I mention that I abhor these 12 issue maxi-series? The way I figure, most of these people will end up getting sent back to their own time. A couple may end up dead. And I think Akisha is going to give up her future citizenship and return to the past with Carson. Or . . I could be all wrong. Either way . . it doesn't really matter and I'm beginning not to care. I kind of just want it to be over now.
