For those of you who are not familiar with Joe Benitez, this is an awesome, awesome, awesome book to introduce you to his world as you can see how effective he draws gigantic creatures, technology stuff, armour, babes and dudes ... and lots of cool action poses and sequences! I kid you not and the covers are awesome too!
As for the numbering, well, basically it is a play on the countdown of a bomb etc and the series proper starts with 1 so this is a limited seriesWhat's really cool about this series is that after the introduction of so many characters, in these 3 issues, we finally get the backstory of how each of them (in bits and pieces) are plucked from different times in our world, experimented upon and now wake up in a different time ...
We also get to see that there are 2 warring factions with Earth caught in-between and that Stone, the main he-dude, is married to a wife who is actually one of the warring factions. Does she really love him or is all a sham?And why doesn't anyone seem to know who it is except for some crazy neighbours?
As the series continues, we are starting to learn that perhaps both sides are not actually good guys even though our heroes may have obtained their abilities from one and helped by the other as each of them has their own agenda and even amongst the aliens, there are double-dealings too
A most entertaining comicbook - no super heroes here but just story told using art!
Ratings: 9/10
