A couple of years ago I read a few of the WildC.A.T.S. comics and enjoyed them. They began to get a bit annoying so I stopped buying them. I've been interested in checking out the new run WildCATS version 3.0, but was leary. Well, the awesome cover on issue #13 hooked me. I bought it and really enjoyed it, though I wasn't 100% sure of some stuff going on. I definitely felt like I stepped into the middle of an ongoing story. So... I bought 9-12. Wow. I'm totally sucked in. The characters are set-up awesomely. I love what they are doing with Grifter right now. The stories are very interested and just dark enough to suit my tastes. There's no happy-go-luck Justice League here. In fact, the superhero aspect of the story takes a back seat to the characters and the story, which is awesome. Kudos to Joe Casey for some great writing. I've also really been impressed with the art. Dustin Nguyen gives us beautiful scenes that are visual interesting and really help move the story along. And the colors by Randy Mayor are to drool over. All in all, I'm impressed with this creative team and really amazed at how much this team has been changed for the better in the new run. I just ordered the first trade of the new run and I can't wait to read it.
