This TP collects one issue of each group in the WildStorm universe and each issue is the same as the others meaning this is a rip off. It seems there isn't a second TP that continues it but each issue it collects has a #1 after it (for example: Midnighter: Armageddon #1) which leads me to believe there is a continuation of this so this is either a TP that gathers number one issues of an event that aren't related to each other which is somewhat stupid, or it ties together somehow or it's an introduction to the different teams thus trying to make you continue to buy the individual runs which is stupid.
The TP is divided to parts using drawings of the team members or someone from the team and the team name printed on that page, and a "chapter" name printed in the comics after a few pages.
Each issue in this TP is basically the same - a female character called Void from the team Wildcats takes a teammate from the current time line and transports them to the future where a catastrophe has happened and they need to learn what caused it and how to make sure it doesn't occur.
Each member is taken for an hour or so it seems and taken back.
The different teams seem to be copies or partly copies of existing comic book characters but there are so many superheroes already so I guess it's hard to avoid replication to a degree.
In the first issue Midnighter seems like a Batman copy, in the second issue there seems to be a Captain Marvel copy (DC Comics) which was created to copy Superman if I remember correctly, in the fourth issue there seems to be a Johnny Storm copy but I guess you can argue that by having control of fire it enables him flight (hot air rising upwards) but it's a weak defense.
Maybe they just wanted to use generic and obvious powers - flight, fire etc, or maybe the powers evolved - they got to a situation with the character they couldn't solve so they decided to have them discover a hidden power like flight for the guy with control of fire.
The fifth issue has a team that protects the world from superheroes that reminds me of SHIELD.
The first issue shows us the world is destroyed and that it got started with an unlikely event and ever since then the people are trying to figure out what happened and to improve the world and succeed a little at a time.
It takes place in Britain and it is drawn realistically with the usual superhero exaggerations (usually anatomy).
The blood looks computer made and it's ugly and resembles using MS Paint's spray can tool.
The second issue looks like a kid drew it and it reminds me of a cartoon series I saw once but I can't remember its name - the drawing style is very similar.
In this issue we see a Captain Marvel copy (DC Comics one) which has strength and flight and when his magic drains he returns to being an old man. We also see he likes threesomes.
The future is that fights have been fought between superheroes and the entire earth was destroyed excluding a small place that was and is guarded by a force field a character is generating and the people in that small safe place need to fight off attackers and to find a way to be safe since that character can't keep the force field going for much longer.
Adding to the look and feel like some kid made it is the simple coloring and the stupid enemies - Nazi robots and Russian guys that seem to be soviets, and there are ridiculous superheroes like a granny with a boob job that wears barely anything at all and it is all pink and has bunny ears sometimes.
The way they guard themselves from attackers is that they fight them and capture them and put the men in one cell and the girls in a different cell.
In front of each cell a superhero sits - a woman in front of the men's cell, a man in front of the women's cell and they are hypnotizing them using sex - they make them horny and forgetful and let them loose outside of the town but they regain themselves after a certain time so they can't keep it up forever.
The girl is wearing a bra and underwear, and the guy has jeans and a black shirt that says "Rockstar" on it.
You can see the men in their cell looking ravenous and drooling and when the woman is taken away they try to grab her and they look like they want to play a Russian roulette with baby making.
In one panel the girl touches the throat of one of the men in a teasing way.
The granny rabbit has one panel where she seems to have no underwear but a line was added which can mean underwear or a shirt - you choose.
There is also one panel where she's on top of a woman with big breasts with a black outfit that covers her entire body but not the eyes.
There is something weird in the coloring of Void but I guess it can be explained (the character that takes people to the future) - she turns from silver to golden which can be explained by the change of location and that she is reflecting the sun or that it has to do with her power (which I don't know what it is exactly since I don't read much WildStorm books).
The third issue is made of two women with big breasts that one is a cyborg that has blue things that glow that hide her nipples but the rest is pretty much exposed, and some other men.
There is a vampire woman, a man werewolf, a man that is teetering between the land of the living and the land of the dead and has black and white word balloons that resemble Venom's word balloons (a character from Marvel Comics's Spider-Man series).
They fight vampires and werewolves that hate each other but somehow got together and that is how the world was destroyed (also with the help of other creatures).
They also have a nun that fights with them.
The drawing style is very realistic with exaggerations and the drawing is very loaded, and again the blood spray looks like it was done using the computer but it was merged with simple coloring in red in some parts so it doesn't stand out as much.
The fourth issue is filled with women with big breasts and pants that are very close to revealing their vagina, and the plot is that there are a group of women with big breasts with pants that almost reveal their vagina that have taken control over the world and created a women society and they take some men capture to be used as sex slaves and for reproduction and some women capture to force them to join their cause.
Some of the superheroes from the team were captured by them.
The main plot here is big breasts and pants that almost reveal vaginas.
Despite trying to make it look realistic with the superhero exaggerations, the coloring resembles a television cartoon series.
The fifth issue is about a team of people that try to keep the world protected from people with special powers and the guy that is sent to the future is an ex-cop that joined that team and he discovers that the world was destroyed and that some superheroes are trying to protect the humans that were left and that sometimes there is a mysterious storm that passes and ruins things and that you need to hide from it.
He also discovers some of his teammates went away and abandoned the team to enjoy the time they got left and that his commander changed in attitude.
We see special creatures that look like monsters roaming the earth and wreaking havoc and it isn't really explained.
The drawing is darker - more shadows and less detailed and the coloring is less real looking but not cartoony like the second issue.
There are parts of exposed breasts in this issue but it makes sense here (a woman taking a bath).
The computer generated blood spray appears here but most of the blood is simply colored red.
Sixth issue - more big breasts. The main character is sent to a future where everything is destroyed (of course) and she meets her teammates and the drawing slants towards the cartoony side including the coloring and I don't really remember what happened but there is a superhero that sees this as an opportunity to start over, and using superheroes he starts a new society on some island.
There seems to be a Deadpool character with the bottom of his mask cut off making it look like a bride's veil and a pink Hulk that resembles Barney the dinosaur and everybody has kneepads they bought at the local sports store, and the guy that is creating a new society has a fur cape that looks like an old type of blanket and he has a skirt above a suit that covers him entirely and the skirt is cut at the sides.
Basically these TP is a collection of crap that repeats in each issue, and a bunch of chewed up and boring ideas and a collection of giant breasts, and the fact that each part has the same basic plot means this is really boring crap and not just crap.
Amongst the crap there is potential but a type of potential that has a slim chance to get a five issue run sometime and that's it so not worth the wait:
In one of the parts there is a nun (a nun is in two of the parts but it happens in just one of them) and she is teetering between good and evil since she thinks the weird disappearance that occur are god taking the good guys to heaven and leaving the bad ones behind and she wants it to continue but it's basically weird disappearances that aren't explained and no one knows who is doing it and people seem to evaporate.
There is another superhero character that is told about in one of the parts that can sense what other people feel - sort of - and it is a possibility for a good and more realistic superhero or hero which is great and not another power fantasy or some idiot in a cape which might be fun but is not something I want to read on a constant basis - I crave a realistic hero which doesn't seem to happen but I got plenty more to keep reading and maybe I'll find that...Kick-Ass is not what I want.
There is potential - small but existing nonetheless, but this is a collection of copied superheroes with stupid overused characters (vampires, werewolves, women ruling an apocalyptic world etc) with a sea of giant breasts added to the mixture and it ends up being crap.
Keeping in the spirit of this TP here's a nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y80Deal6K00 . Warning: contains good drawings and "naughty" body parts.
