The Midnighter… is he Apollo’s future husband? a hot but creepy stalker? or both?
The addition of Apollo and Midnighter to the regular DC pantheon is definitely my favorite thing about the DCnU. Stormwatch is well on the way to becoming my favorite DC title. We didn’t see THAT much of the couple-to-be this issue. But there were some telling moments. Midnighter informs Apollo that he’s been “trailing” (read stalking) him for over a year and that he KNOWS why Apollo hasn’t “come out” as a “super-hero.” He also mentions that he REALLY ENJOYED watching Apollo slaughter a child porn ring.
The moon is alive! Following the events of SUPERMAN #1 where [TEXT REDACTED], the covert team of sci-fi Super Heroes known as Stormwatch must not only battle the Earth’s moon, but find a way to hide its monstrous metamorphosis from the rest of the Earth! How? Uh, they’re working on it. Meanwhile, the recruitment of Midnighter goes poorly, and we learn why the Martian Manhunter is a member of the team. Written by Paul Cornell (Doctor Who)!
I was amused by the way they manipulated the media to dupe the Justice League into thinking a random villain (The Fox) was behind whatever is happening to the moon. It would take 10 seconds with the Fox for Batman to figure out The Fox was innocent – Booster Gold on the other hand would be easy to fool. Hmmm, I wonder if any criminals have been convicted because of them doing this in the past?
