The Wild Storm #23 picks up at the exact moment where the previous issue left off, with the a giant Jenny Mei Sparks made out of electricity swatting down flying saucers. Seriously, do you need to know anything more? Okay, then…
The rest of the (still not yet named) Authority is here as well. After the heroes successfully stop Skywatch‘s attack, Henry Bendix triggers a control within all his experiments – sending them to New York to attack I.O.‘s headquarters. This includes Apollo and Midnighter, who are only stopped by some split-second timing thanks to Angie‘s doors and Shen who returns the two men’s identities to them and later gets them caught up on the oddball group they now find themselves a part of. Welcome to the team.
While Shen is able to stop two loose canons from attacking New York, there are plenty of others out there still under Bendix’s control. The cold war between Skywatch and I.O. has finally erupted. Looks like a job for an Authority. Must-read.
