SUMMARY:
Published by WildStorm Productions for March 2008, the 23-page opener for this six-part mini-series is entitled “The Coming Storm.” Briefly summarizing the WildStorm: Armageddon mini-series, the first page explains Nemesis’s intent on saving Earth from an imminent apocalypse. Relaxing after a hard night’s work infiltrating Stormwatch Plaza, Backlash and Savant are caught off-guard by Nemesis.
Taken captive, the two friends reluctantly join forces with Nemesis for a covert mission. Utilizing a diversion, their first task means breaking into The Bleed and a likely confrontation with The Authority.
REVIEW:
Impressively, this series is WildStorm’s credible answer to DC Comics’ Gotham City Sirens. The likable chemistry that Backlash & Savant establish with a hard-nosed Nemesis hints that this unlikely trio has potential together. A parental advisory applies to some implied nudity (and briefly, partial nudity), as Nemesis ambushes her unsuspecting new partners coming out of their bathtubs.
Provided one is already familiar with WildStorm’s universe, WildStorm: Revelations # 1 is a relatively fun read.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
None.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
