And then they fell...
(No Spoilers)
Overall, I thought the issue was ok. I think one thing I couldn’t get into was Drew Johnson’s art in this issue. I’ve gotten used to Simon Colbey’s dark and moody art that it’s hard for me to accept someone else on this title right now. Especially since Colbey does get a few pages when we switch over to the Midnighter side-story. It’s good to see certain Wildstorm characters (can’t say who without spoiling, but you know if you read last issue’s cliffhanger) getting some screen time who haven’t been around in a while. I will say this issue was definitely action-packed. It did have some good fights and some interesting surprises which stemmed from things Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning have been planting since they started their run. Midnighter’s side-story was the most intriguing part of this issue because we got teased big-time in it. It’s what I’d call another “Doctor Who” moment which DnA did a lot of during the “Meantime” story in issue 8 & 9. I also appreciate that things truly do get worse for The Authority in this issue. As if they haven’t been kicked around enough by DnA during this run. At point, I think it’s safe to say that it is DnA’s personal mission to destroy The Authority once and for all before they’re through. The next creative team won’t have an Authority team left to write about at this rate. Bu that’s ok because it’s made for some pretty interesting story-telling thus far.
