3.25 (755) WILDC.A.T.S vol 1 #5 ... #JimLee ...

[This is reviewed on 1st Dec 2017]

Finally we take a break from our many, many, many Marvel reviews and jumped into early Image back when comics glorified the artform and take no prisoners thanks for folks like Lee and Silvestri and in this the fifth issue is the opening arc for crossover with Marc Silvestri's Cyberforce

All you need to know is that WILDCats are basically a group of superhumans who are predominantly half breed between humans and an ancient alien race. Their primary opposition is another alien race that is hell bent on domination and that's it

As for Cyberforce, this deals more with humans and mutants who were captured by a company called Cyberdata and put implants to enhance their physical attributes. In addition, for those unwilling, they will be mind controlled like puppets using yet another implant. So our friends in Cyberforce managed to get away and stayed together to combat the evil that is/ was their former masters

In this arc, someone (NO SPOILER) or something has somehow managed to get the two teams' wires crossed ... and deliberately so as to get them to go against each other. For what reason and why is what we will need to keep on buying the next two issues of the Cats and the Force to get the whole story and honestly it is worth the buy just for the sheer beauty of the artwork where both artists give their all and then some.

Chockful of details and awesome colouring ... and if we have to choose a winner, we would go with Lee over Silvestri even though we collected every single issue of the Force as it comes out  more so than with the Cats

Ratings: 8/10
