Rebellion
With the Lloigor
defeated nothing can stand in the way of the superhumans and universal
domination! The remaining members of the original British super-team
Cloud 9 with some additional powered affiliates (including
Zenith's infant son) have destroyed America in retaliation for
an attempt on their lives. Now they plan to incubate in the sun and
evolve to the next level of existence, destroying the Earth as they do
so.
Once again Zenith and St. John must make a stand for humanity
and this time it's personal! Grant Morrison (WE3) and Steve
Yeowell (Devlin Waugh) bring you the mind-blowing finale to one of the
most celebrated series in British comics.
It's a fitting end to the story and one that is very much in sync with how other, earlier, parts of the story resolved themselves and whilst it's missing the elaborately pulpy joie de vivre of Phase Three's transdimensional shenanigans it's more intimate nature is perfectly suited to bringing the story to it's conclusion and yes I'm aware that describing a universe spanning storyline as 'intimate' is a little odd but this is esentially a story of a family at war. Admittedly a family that can wipe out America in an afternoon but still just a family.
In the final reckoning though this series proved itself to be big and bold and suitably epic in scope and it was refreshing to see the main character utterly fail to learn anything from his experiences and finish the series just as much of a dick as he started it and depressingly realistic to see the Tory politician at the heart of the story not only get away scott free but to profit from it.
A brilliant series and well deserving of these big, beautiful, deluxe reprints and of your time and attention.
