It finally happens this issue . . with the combined might of the WildCATS, Team 7 . . with some StormWatch and WetWorks thrown in . . they've finally been able to beat Tao. Well . . maybe defeat is a little strong. It's more like they talked him down from the edge of the mountain, and he's returned everybody's powers, for the most part. So he's no longer a demi-god, but . . he's still the same old bastard he always was. But he has decided to leave everybody alone . . for now. And, despite this huge gathering of heroes, it's actually Max Farraday's wife and Void that talk Tao off of the precipice. That's right . . they didn't fight him, or hit him with any magical powers. They just confronted him with dialogue, and . . the truth. 'I have to compliment you. For amateurs, you did a fair job of attempting to manipulate me. And using only the truth to do it . . interesting stratagem. I'll have to try that more often.' But then Grifter blows off the top of his head. Tao retreats . . I'm sure he can heal himself. But as he does so, he gives everyone most of their powers back. And, rather that use his powers to fix the world, Max decides that he's going to take his billions of survivors to the Hollow Realm. There he'll use the majority of his powers protecting them. As he leaves, he gives them a parting gift . . he puts everyone back in their old uniforms. Well . . he did make a few tweaks here and there, but . . he wants them to represent themselves as heroes . . to give the people of the world hope. This leads us right into the cross-over with all the team books . . WildCATS, StormWatch, Team 7 and WetWorks. I'm sure the Authority will be off doing thier own thing. They don't play well with others. Anyways, all the teams are going to work together and they're going to try to remake the world. Or at least give it their best shot. This is Chris Gage's last book as writer. Next issue Adam Beechen takes over those duties. Also, Shawn Moll provides the pencils. But again, next issue we'll have a new artist with Tim Seeley. And now . . the fun begins. We'll see if they can put this world back together, and how different it'll be from the old WildStorm Universe. It appears that 2010 is going to be the year of change. Hopefully . . it's for the better.
