the search for a missing FBI Agent becomes a nationwide hunt that leads
to the dark heart of suburban America.] Old Book of the Week 8/24/05: The third series of Wildcats was truly a new beginning; you didn't have to know the previous versions to figure out what's going on. And what's going on is very interesting and different: where the Authority wants to make a better world through brute force, Spartan of the Wildcats, now the owner of a huge conglomerate, wants to improve it through market forces. This is strange, subversive stuff, and it's unfortunate that writer Joe Casey and artist Dustin Nguyen weren't able to bring it to a conclusion. |
