There was a time ... a long time ago ... in Image comics under the Extreme banner when they decided to do something different ... instead of issuing comics based on each month (or some fixed schedule) and each issue following the last ... Extreme decided to jump several months ahead to issue 25 of each of their group titles ...Of course we can say that DC etc years later have followed their start by having line wide event such as OYL (One Year Later) ...
I personally like this 25 ... it shows the future of Bloodstrike and leave many people guessing who is under the mask because in the regular schedule of the 'strike we are still seeing a team whereas in the near future it is now a one-man operation who doesn't fly or anything except for being extra mean/ tough/ fighters/ grim/ grimacing type of character
The next achievement is to show that Extreme titles have somewhat a semblance of continuity and planning i.e. there is already a future so it means that the current stable of writers have planned that far even if not in detail ... so this is good ...
However, while I enjoyed this issue I found the plot rather straightforward and simplistic. Mysterious loner Bloodstrike goes toe-to-toe with generic baddies and their gigantic robot counterpart ... and ummm ... that's it?
