StormWatch: Post Human Division #23 - WildStorm

Ok, you saw at the end of last issue that bombs had been exploded aboard Skywatch. They appear to all be Kheran in origin. Many people have died, and it appears that the ship is almost totaled. I say almost because with the helm down . . "All engines are down. Attitude control and maneuvering thrusters are dead . . we'll hit the mesosphere in about eleven minutes and then we're going to burn." However, at the last minute . . Fuji returns. But he's changed. Now . .he's kind of like the Engineer, only different . . and they suspect more powerful. Link laughs. "That is what you get when you throw a bunch of nanosopic engines and a gaseous post-human life form into a blender!" After saving the ship, and on his way to report to Jackson, he checks out the bomb sights and finds the Kheran link. Now they just have to figure out what they're going to do about it. Plus . . I wonder when they're going to make the connection to the people they had just brought on board from Greenland . . or was it Iceland? Whatever! And on the final page . . I'm not sure, but is that Majestros leading the rebellion? "We'll commence with the next phase of the operation, the eradication of all life on Earth and the founding of New Khera!" Ian Edginton wrote it, and Leandro Fernandez does the art. I thought it was a good issue. I have a feeling though, it's going to take Jackson, and the rest of Stormwatch, a little while to recuperate. And Fuji definitely has me intrigued.
