The Current "The Wild Storm" Family Of Titles

[numberthirty]

With the ":Michael Cray" series starting recently, it seemed like it might be a good idea to have a spot where what is going on and what has happened could be discussed in one place.

Here's a link to the "Issue #1" thread...

A thread that involves the way the current ": Michael Cray" series begins...

From the ":Michael Cray" related thread...

And while I'm here, did anyone else with the introduction of John Colt, and his escape from the IO facility get a strong vibe that he might have been a renamed version of Ambrose Chase from Planetary? I know that that is Spartan/Yohn Kohl in the original timeline, but the way he presented he came off that way to me.

In addition to what you mentioned, it felt like there was also an element of The Drummer's character in that this version of John is very "Systems" oriented.

It also felt like there was a bit of The Drummer in this version of Kenesha as well.

While that could be, I don't think we saw enough of John's character in the original series to really tell how much this version (if it is a version) of him differs.

As for Kenesha, I always read her character more as an Indiana Jones type, one who rather than spend all her centuries on Earth fighting or politicking spent her time exploring the depths of the mysteries that there were to find, so she just had esoteric info to pull from.

Now that I think of it, I would have loved to see her and Elijah sit down and swap stories at some point.

There is enough to pull from that I don't think that we need to explicitly pull to much from Planetary though. That worked well as a stand alone even as loosely connected to the original WildStorm universe as it was, and would hate to see that diluted to much. Even though you could argue the main theme of that series the "uncover the secret history of the world" is largely what we have seen so far for the driving through-line in the new series.

On Wild Storm: Michael Cray #1...

It was certainly interesting. Without spoiling too much, the "Wild Storm" Earth's version of Oliver Queen is particularly interesting.

Since The Wild Storm #8 was only released today, I'll outline the big developments in "Spoiler" copy...

spoilers:

- Marlowe lays out how they came to Earth for Angela. He seemingly leaves some of the details out. - Cole is a former IO Field Specialist who seemingly faked his own death during a mission. - IO decide that Skywatch might be working with Marlowe's CAT. They start to prepare for that possibility. - Shen Li-Min(Swift in the classic The Authority line up) is this continuities' Doctor. - Shen discusses what Jenny is with her predecessors.

Just to remark

spoilers:

In the last issues of the official Wildstorm Universe, Shen Li-Min aka Swift really became the Doctor.

However there are some tip to wonder
spoilers:

-Is John Colt as alien as Marlowe or is more robotic? The change he said he needs would not only mean new clothes but a whole new body and face -The Daemonites were behind the origin of Jenny Sparks? Will be they also the ones behind Jack Hawksmoor? -Is Mitch the Aquaman of the Wild Storm?
