I know, that’s a whole bunch of artists to list for a single comic. The idea is (and I think it’s a good one in theory but we’ll see how it plays out) that each of them is doing the work for one of the three main characters in the book. I would love it if there was some way to know who did what (even something as unobtrusive as initials at the bottom of an artist’s page), but you can’t have everything. This is the first issue of a projected six issue mini series and Patrick swears that it’s going to come out monthly until it’s done. Three cheers for that idea. As for the story, there’s a whole bunch going on here, so I’ll try and hit some of the important points. There’s a squadron of government agents who kill a large group of people who seem to have access to a drug that lets them live forever, an old man who has a heart attack (or some sort of medical emergency), a woman who’s trying to rescue people in the re-zoned Middle East (guessing this is all set in the future), and a kidnapped baby. These people were all getting distinct personalities by the end of the first issue, which is usually a good sign. Except the baby, but that does seem like it’s going to have some future significance. An intriguing first issue, although it’s always tough to say how these things are going to turn out. Here’s hoping they keep to their schedule so it doesn’t take too long to find out…<\/p>\n
