Oh Cole Cash, you come back to me like a chronic headache, but you always leave me feeling better. I grew up a big fan of the Wildstorm Universe following the greatest hero of all time, Backlash. So for those of you who don't know Backlash and Grifter were teammates turned enemies because of life choices. So while I was always hating Grifter I still loved his stuff in the Wildstorm U.
So welcome to the first issue where we go head first to an airplane scene... wait didn't I just read an airplane sequence in Resurrection Man? Anyways the action starts right away with some crazy happenings going down on the plane and these strange voices floating around in Cole's head. Edmondson does a good job of building the mystery about the things going on, but doesn't give too much as to who Cole is. So I was kinda sad about not knowing more, but it will be brought forth over time. A huge love to that fact that the Daemonites are the bad guys still. Can't wait to see what goes down.
The artwork was great on every panel. To me it really sold the old school WU vibe, well it had a Hero book vibe to it. Good vibrant colors, great action etc. Long story short I liked it, it's a safe start with some good writing and artwork. I will be back for #2 hopefully waiting for the reveal on a certain character.
Decap 4/5
