I think that the thing I like so much about this book is how well it's written. Don't get me wrong. Marco Rudy does a good job with the art. But Eric S Trautmann is just phenomenal with these stories. I'm not sure if he actually served in the military, or if he just studied it a lot, but . . he's really seems to have the feel for the verbiage and the involvement of a military procedure. As we've seen through the first 6 issues of this series, as well as Magog's . . there seems to be a lot of abandoned HIVE bases around the world. And I'm not sure if it's through destruction, or incubation, but . . they seem to be falling into the hands of individual would-be conquerors. They've downloaded files from all the bases that they've attacked, but the only information they can find is some cryptic clues about an organization called the Black Seven. They seem to be selling high-tech weapons to anyone willing to pay their price. Lt Higgins, and the rest of his team's job now? 'You're going to burn it all down.' They're new orders are called Operation Gunslinger. And Lt Higgins has been assigned a special operative as an information source . . someone who has dealt with this Black Seven. It is the Brain Emperor. You know . . that guy with all the snakes coming out of his head that we saw in that other HIVE base that was controlled by Grodd. When Shield and Magog attacked it, the Brain Emperor was one of the people inside. Although it was never really clear if he was working for Grodd, or under his control. I guess we'll find out as this operation progress'. I also liked that we got a little more information about what Lt Higgins went through when they changed him into the Shield. I'm sure we'll be getting more of these pieces as we go along. Like I said, I though Eric and Marco did a terrific job here. I'm really enjoying this book. Luckily, we start a new chapter with our back-up story this issue. Obviously it's centered around another Red Circle character, the Fox. We don't get whole lot of information this issue, except . . he does freelance work for the JSA. He's apparently an ex-agent, as well as his father. CIA? Maybe? And his father disappeared 15 years ago . . he's been looking for him ever since. It was an ok story. We'll see what happens in upcoming issues. It was by Brandon Jerwa and Michael Avon Oeming.
