And there's no guarantee that either the CAT or Jackie and her team will get out of their respective capers alive. And IO director Miles Craven is distracted by many troubles and questions, including: What was Project Thunderbook?

Consistently excellent and enthralling, this book continues to be a delight. This issue is mostly preparation for what will undoubtedly be an explosive 'mid-season' finale, but the trust engendered by the creative team's deft handling of the story so far means that this reviewer at any rate is happy to wait a while before we get more action. What we do get here is impressive, grown-up comic book storytelling with a laser focus on a grounded, intriguing world and the three-dimensional characters who inhabit it. Quality stuff.

It cannot be overstated how well-done this comic series is. I almost don't want any answers, just more characters and wormholes! Read Full Review
There's a lot to dig about The Wild Storm, but it's hard to single out particular chapter that stands out. Every issue is so dense with mystery and development at the same time that it can all blend together, barring the occasional Bourne-style action sequence. Still, if you can wade through the waters, this is a really strong series that's worth sticking with. Read Full Review
You can tell Ellis and Davis-Hunt are working towards something that may be pretty explosive, but for now, The Wild Storm continues to play the “set-up” game all the while moving the pieces closer and closer together and I can't wait to see where everything ends up. Read Full Review
The series does have some good points, but it's just too scattered and inconsistent. Read Full Review
While this is another issue of talking heads, we are getting a greater sense of the bigger gears at play and getting more foreshadowing into the sense of doom that will lead to the Armageddon of the Wild Storm Universe. Each character is getting closer to understanding their place in the machine but has yet to discover what the plot truly is. Read Full Review
In all, this is a fairly generic issue filled to the brim with conversations about doing things but with very little doing. Readers need to read the issue just to stay connected with the series at this stage but most of the entertainment found here is from the masterful artwork delivered by Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato.

To be honest, its not really my cup of tea. But that doesnt mean its poorly written or a victim of bad storytelling. I realize thats damning it with faint praise, but I suggest you check it out for yourself. Just be sure to read a healthy sampling of the title. A single issue wont help you at all. Read Full Review
It's still setting things up, but as we are reaching the end of the first year (and the halfway point of the series), I am rather sure that things will only accelerate from here.
