Ok, this is what I think is going on. The story is a bit confusing. And what information we do get, is coming from Zee. So I think she's trying to keep it confusing on purpose. These aliens came to earth millions of years ago. There was no life or atmosphere at the time, so they went in to hibernation. Now for some reason, they're waking up out of that hibernation. But, what we've seen so far, are the males. There's a Queen someplace, but the males haven't been able to find it so far. So Zee takes our dynamic duo from Paris to Las Vegas, where she thinks a Queen is holed up. But, as Grifter points out, if she can teleport them around the world, how come she could get closer to the destination than a four hour car ride? So anyways, they find the hole, only to find out that it's another male down there. And one that's been long dead. But, someone was there before them, because they drilled holes in the ground to get down to the nest. And apparently those people are still around because while our trio is underground, they kill the guy whom they got a ride from, topside. They get in to a big gunfight, of course, and during the course of which one of them implies that Zee is not whom or what she claims to be. She immediately jumps through another port, with our guys in hot pursuit, but our guys end up alone on Mars. MidNighters nanites kick in to keep him alive. But Grifter dies immediately. So the issue ends with MidNighter carrying Grifter across the barren Mars desert. Well hopefully this story all comes together next issue, the last. Because right now, I'm a bit confused. Don't get me wrong, I think Chuck Dixon crafts a good story. I just think he's keeping us confused on purpose right now. It'll all sort out next issue. And I really love Ryan Benjamin's interiors.
