Ok . . this issue focus' mostly on Samson and Hydro, with a new villain being introduced . . Dagon. Although I have to say it was a little weird reading this issue after we just saw what happened to Samson in the last issue of Project Superpowers. So . . I'm guess that this issue actually takes place before Project Superpowers #3. That's the one where Captain Future hurts Samson in the first place. Anyways, we don't really know much of this Dagon character other than that he claims to have been around for quite a while. I guessing he's some sort or demi-god or very powerful demon. He kind of puts you in mind of an evil lizardy-type Poseidon. Anyways, he attacks the West Coast with a violent storm, and Samson and Hydro are immediately dispatched to take care of it. Hydro deals with the effects of the storm, while Samson goes right to the source. Which is a good thing because when Hydro finally does arrive . . for some reason he can't see Dagon. Apparently he exists only in the super-natural realm. But he can affect the real world. All Hydro sees is Samson screaming at the storm . . he claps his hands . . and everything is gone. Later when he's filling in Green Lama about the events, he says that he felt like he was in a religious experience. It seems like there's being an awful lot of groundwork being laid with this project and it's various mini-series. My thought is that when everything has been laid out before us . . we're going to get a plethora of solo-books. This feels like we're at the nexus of a 'big-bang' event . . and Alex Ross and Jim Krueger, with Joe Casey's help on this series, have the reigns and are trying to steer us through it. Everything is being contained within a few titles right now, but . . I have a feeling things are about to bust at the seems. Carlos Paul does the art for this issue.
