INVASION. President Blades commits his coalition forces to a take-no-prisoners drive across Europe, in an effort to win World War Three in one decisive stroke. Up in space, the Clarke astronauts discover that Willett has jeopardized all of their lives in a last-ditch effort to warn the Earth of the asteroid currently on a collision course with the planet.
Wish I could say 'oh well maybe I picked up a filler issue' but judging by the events in the story it was a pivotal point in the run, and like Rory Bremner with laryngitis it didn't make a good impression. Read Full Review
What an excellent issue. So much happening in here from the Clarke crew turning on the alien and figuring out how to communicate with earth after months..to the dramatic war going on down on earth..to the huge defeat by the Germans with the force field tech...to the asteroid hurling towards earth and the only hope in stopping it is seconds away from being nuked to hell...this issue equals mind blown...so much happening at once and each gets its own place in the overall story without it all being to much...art is awesome as usual but the story here is just....wow
