John Lynch, ex-director of IO, is travelling to America to warn the subjects of his most secret program that the current heads of IO may know about them - what Lynch did to them in Project Thunderbook, how they changed and where they're hiding. He may be a day too late to help Alexandra Fairchild, waiting in the middle of nowhere for people to come and kill her.
This is a book full of ideas. I can't wait to read each issue when they come out because of that. Read Full Review
The final pages pack a lot of characters in so here we go! Cutting to the first conversation between Henry Bendix and Miles Craven thus far as the two mighty leaders square off - in Bendix's case shout off - bringing their two sides closer to all out war. There is a psychedelic experience with Jack Hawksmoor, Jenny Sparks, and the Doctor. Finally, and most disturbing of all, Marc Slayton from last issue confronts a Skywatch monster in the middle of a dark road...much bloodshed...the end. This is a great series and truly mind-bending creativity on display. Read Full Review
Action, touching character introduction and development, conflict, confrontation and moments that border on horror: this issue features a wide range of elements, but Ellis and Davis-Hunt seem to have little difficulty in making them all fit into an emerging whole. As a result, the slight dip in emotional connection towards the end notwithstanding, this is a top quality issue in a top quality series. Read Full Review
The Wild Storm is a puzzling book, combining brilliant art and kinetic action with a plot that often goes at the speed of a turtle. Read Full Review
This continues to be a great comic, even for those who aren't familiar with the Wildstorm universe. Read Full Review
As we've come the expect from the series, The Wild Storm #14 jumps around to various other characters a well. We get Jenny Mei Sparks and Shen Li-Men making nice with Jack Hawksmoor (and a glimpse that Jenny 2.0 has a little of the original's fire in her), and, in the comic's biggest action sequence featuring a lot of headshots, we see the cold war between I.O. and Skywatch heat up. Despite Zealot killing off the intruders, I.O.'s retaliation for the death of their agents is brutal, and effective, battle cry. Better get your team together, Miss Sparks, this world is in need of some authority. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Despite the hit and miss nature of the series lately The Wild Storm #14 offers more hits than misses. There's plenty to enjoy here but new readers will be lost entirely, and to some extent so will existing readers who are notfamiliarwith the original WildStorm books. Read Full Review
Worth reading just for the scene with Lynch and Fairchild and for the fight at the beginning. As usual, there are too many things going on in each issue and I have trouble keeping track of all the things that Ellis is wrapping around the center of the comic. There are just too many characters.
Great as always, bloody as ever.
