    Not sure how that is working exactly.

    I know that the main title has skipped a month. I wondered if the "Michael Cray" title was going to do the same.

    It really is brilliant work, and some of what has the potential to be the most interesting elements of the overall story are still to come.

    One other "Bigger Picture" aspect that is worth pointing out...

    - Wildstorm Thunderbook was a one shot made up of short stories featuring -

    - Gen13
    - Jet
    - DV8
    - Cybernary
    - Grifter

    From the looks of it, John Constantine may be the next case Michael Cray gets after Arthur Curry.

    Interesting. All the characters in the book, except Grifter, have in common they are sons and daugthers of superpowered beings but also the result of IO experimentation.

    Interestingly enough Constantine as portrayed in the upcoming Michael Cray cover bears something of a resemblance to Jack Carter from Ellis' Planetary, a Constantine expy who remade himself as a Spider Jerusalem stand-in at the end of the issue.

    Wonder if it was intentional on Hill's part?

    From the looks of it, issue #12 will be coming out on March 7th and not next week. According to the article(and Ellis) the title will be taking at least a month or two off after issue #12.

    So Micheal Cray is about beating up evil DC characters? Sounds like a lame, lazy and cliched direction. If they published a book where Batman does the same to Wildstorm characters then fans will be much less forgiving.

    I take it you just never read Planetary back in the day?

    While I'm dropping the Michael Cray title, I have no idea why you think a comic where Batman beats up much less popular characters would be in least bit controversial.

    People will say stuff like :
    DC doesn't give a damn about other characters
    Batwank
    That DCi s insecure about Wildstorm characters
    DC is petty
    And so on.
