   (SPOILERS)

    

   Wow!  If any character has suffered because of the many new directions Wildstorm has taken over the years it’s Spartan (don’t’ believe me, check out the length of the summary I wrote for this issue at the Wildstorm Wiki and you’ll understand).  I mean, the character in real time is only 16 years old but man he’s had a lot happen to him in that time.  I realize in comic time he’s thousands of years old so I get that it makes sense, but it doesn’t make his history any less convoluted.  Although, I will say this.  I hope that with this issue we are meant to put to rest his incarnations of the past (and finally fill in some plot holes too) and focus on who Spartan will become in the new World’s End setting instead of what he’s been.  I like how Voodoo told him that it wasn’t so much that he was trying to bring the team back together, but that it was his friends that he was trying to get back.  I know what’s it’s like to have friends who don’t like each other so I totally got where Spartan was coming from on that.  Like I said, all in all I think this issue was meant to give us closure to Spartan’s convoluted history and allow us to move on and see where the character goes next.  I also think it’s interesting that the Spartan/Voodoo/Maul love triangle has been reopened.  We’ll see where it goes.

   And the Number of the Beast back-up story introduces us to Missile-Man, a forgotten hero of World War II.  First off I love his design because it’s got a very Rocketeer/Sky Captain feel to it, which I love.  It’s going to be interesting to see what role he plays in the discovery of the downed Daemonite ship in 1945.
