Alright, finally . . Max Faraday is back. Spartan and the rest of the WildCATS tried to take on Tao last issue. They weren't very successful. That is until Spartan took on most of Void's powers, again, and became Jack Marlowe. But really all he could do was distract Tao for a bit, while Lynch came up with another plan. He ends up getting all of them out of there, reasonably intact, but Providence has to give up her life to do so. Now they're in North Dakota. With Lynch's knowledge and Marlowe's powers, it's pretty easy for them to find Max . . when they put their minds to it. He finds Max hidden in his own reality . . a reality of endless beaches, and an endless honeymoon. He's in a resort with his wife, sister and brother-in-law. They don't even know that Armageddon has happened. And we find out that Max is beating himself up because . . when Armageddon happened, he tried to save as many people as he could. "But you don't know what it's like. How many people there are in the world. How many lives. How many souls. Big, sweeping gestures are easy. It's the small stuff that's hard. I couldn't stop it. I couldn't save everyone." So he shows them St Louis. A city that's untouched by Armageddon, and housing all of the people he could gather. Marlowe asks, "Can there really be this many people in such a small space?" Max tells him, "Sure, if you can warp space. But guys . . this is just the beginning." Whatever that means. And Tao is watching their every move. "We'll most definitely have to do something about that." I enjoyed Christos Gages story. Like I said, it was good to see Max back. Also Shawn Moll did a great job on the art. Right now this is probably my favorite WildStorm book. I love these characters. Ok . . 19 books later and I'm finally on the last of the DC books this week. And I didn't really think it was that heavy of a week. Whodathunkit? Oh well . . now I just have my 15 Marvel titles to go. Time to dig in.

WildCATS #14 - WildStorm
