I cannot believe how much story Beechen and Seeley pack into
each issue.  There is so much going on in
these 22 pages I don’t know how they’re not making me feel cheated.  But somehow, they’re doing it every month!

If there is one story that gets more screen time than the
others, it’s Midnighter’s investigation of Zealot and her activities.  During the parts of the issue that constitute
Midnighter and Zealot’s story, we get a quick fight between Midnighter and
someone (if you saw the preview you know who it is), we get to see Midnighter
show some great emotion when he learns Zealot’s true plans, and finally we get
a great cliffhanger which is going to set up an amazing fight next issue.

Plus we FINALLY get to see the new character Aeon (not a
spoiler, he’s listed in the enormous group shot in Wildcats #22).  We don’t get much other than him swooping in
and rescuing two of characters but I’m just glad he’s finally in the story so
we can all start speculating who he really is (I’m placing my bets on Max
Faraday).

We also get some insight into Majestic’s predicament which I
thought raised some interesting questions. 
It also eased my concerns about how Nemesis acted last issue.

Finally, long-time Wildcats fans will cheer as we get the
return of some classic Wildcats villains (3 to be exact, hint, hint).  It was so cool to see them again.

Tim Seeley continues to do an incredible job with the
art.  Every character here looks exactly
like they should.  Seeley just gets these
characters visually.

We’ve got two set-ups for some good fights next issue
here.  Like I said, I’m eager to find out
more about the character Aeon and see where this creative team will take the
story after these two big fights.
