Katana and Black Lightning are dispatched to deal with a terrifying disturbance on the open seas. Meanwhile, Geo-Force is recalled to Markovia to handle affairs of state.

This issue has a lot going for it, but it fails to bring it all together. The end result is a clunky, disjointed read that shows promise in its craft, but the enjoyment factor never really kicks in. When I finished the issue, I was interested in seeing how Didio would progress as writer over the next few issues and not in where the story was going; that's not a good thing by any means.
