Christos Gage and Pete Woods turn in another fantastic issue here. Pete's art was pretty impressive. He does something a little different here . . I can't put my finger on it, but . . it works. This issue came off looking really unique. I also like the WildCATS series because they aren't crossing over with the Authority or Stormwatch. At least not yet. They're kind of a self-contained entity right now. Those other 2 titles are working together, and in my opinion . . it's a complete mess. However, I think the team is going to be going to Hawaii pretty soon to find out what's going on with Majestic. Meanwhile in this issue, Maxine has decided to roam the city on her own . . she's tired of all the 'human' drama back at the Halo Building. And she's found a hidden population of robots. With most of the humans wiped out, their basic programming has become moot. Until Maxine comes along . . they're just waiting for the end. They're constantly being harassed by the 'humans' who either want spare parts or their power cores. But they can't really do anything about it because most of thier primary rules state that they're never to harm a human. But with all the Daemonites roaming around . . some looking for humans for food, Maxine gets an idea. She strikes a bargain between the 2 cultures. The robots will protect the humans from the Daemonites . . they have no rules as to what they can't do to them . . and the humans will help to take care of the Robots. They'll clean them, polish them, and tend to their basic needs. And with the co-existence the robots will have a renewed purpose. I thought it was pretty ingenious actually. Especially for Maxine. Anyways, all in all I thought it was a pretty decent issue. They have a fantastic variety of characters to work with here. Christos seems to be trying to use all of them. It'll be interesting to see what'll happen in Hawaii.
