This is really a great reboot, but I don't know how someone who doesn't know the Wildstorm universe or care about these characters would enjoy it.

Pretty decent. Feels like they had to sum it up quickly near the end though. Great panels for advancing story.

The [b:WildC.A.T.S: Cover-Action-Teams|22061386|WildC.A.T.S Cover-Action-Teams (Colección Libros Image Wildcats, #1)|Jim Lee|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452101669s/22061386.jpg|694092] and related books came out in a time when I was no longer reading comics. Going to work, getting a mortgage, other old people stuff, that’s what I was into then. Well, not “into” but certainly “doing”. I have since read a couple collections of [b:Planetary, Volume 1: All Over the World and Other Stories|209966|Planetary, Volume 1 All Over the World and Other Stories|Warren Ellis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1374683466s/209966.jpg|423192] and [b:The Authority, Vol. 1: Relentless|546887|The Authority, Vol. 1 Relentless|Warren Ellis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1518640805s/546887.jpg|534153], but I don’t recall much about them. Interdimensional snarky superheroes and space adventurers or something.
So this reboot is neither triggering fond nostalgia nor angering me for its sacrilege. It’s just an interesting sci-fi story about superscience and the corporate battles between international tech companies. (Apple, Microsoft and Samsung, perhaps?)
To that end it was fairly interesting, but hardly ground-shaking. The snark is still there, but then it’s Warren Ellis, so of course it is, but this is really just the set-up for the story. The characters are introduced and the world is explained, and then... cliffhanger!
The art is fine and stuff, but I’ll have to read the next installment to see how this plays out.

Cyberpunk inspired thriller
We that was unexpected? Great story and interesting characters. The pacing and character development was excellent with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Artwork was exceptional with a wonderful sheen to the cityscapes and the level of detail was extraordinary. Downloading the next book today.

I wasn't blown away by this one. It jumped around a lot and even some of the individual scenes were hard to follow. The story itself left me wanting more, but I don't see myself following this series further.

This was a little slow and confusing to start for me, but gradually things started to pick up after the first 1/4 of the book. I'll be curious how they continue this and what new directions we'll explore with this relaunch. I LOVED the old Wildstorm, and Wild C.A.T.S. especially is a favorite of mine.
