The WildStorm Universe is in for another shake-up . . and it starts with this book. Basically, the Carrier has received some type of beam from space. They don't know what it is, or where it's from, but it seems to be bringing the Carrier back to life. It's recharging and rebuilding her systems and damage. The Authority doesn't really know what's going on, but they have to assume that whomever built this ship has decided to call it back. So, they decide to send out an invitation to every 'hero' and group in the WildStorm Universe, and give them the choice of coming along for the ride. It's not that they're assuming that everyone will agree with them . . hell, within their own ranks there's dissension . . it looks like Apollo and Midnighter will be staying on planet. They just want to give everyone a choice. And it looks like there's going to be some unexpected ones made. Grifter and Deathblow get stuck on board, and it looks like Christine, from StormWatch has decided to go along. The issue ends with the Carrier taking off, but we don't really know yet who's on board and who's not. Also, just as they're taking off, the Kheran Red Guard attacks. That's who StormWatch was fighting when they were called to UnLondon. And, from the previews, there's some other attack, from some other alien race, that's just on the horizon. So, everyone that's chosen to stay behind are definitely going to have their hands full . . and they're going to need all the help they can get. I'm guessing that no team is going to be unaffected by this series of events. This issue is brought to us by Adam Freeman, Marc Bernardin and Al Barrionuevo. I thought it was an excellent opening chapter. It looks to me like all of the WildStorm Universe has been tossed up in the air like so many dice. And in future issues . . we're going to see how they're all going to land. It looks to be an exciting time in the WildStorm Universe. Also, this issue gives us the first part of a gate-fold cover by George Perez. Apparently, we're going to be getting a lot of these in the near future.
