Possible spoilers for Heroes. If you haven't read up through and including GN 139, I suggest you go here and do so now.
The
Rebel story arc continues (YAY!) and while we are left wondering as to
what happened to Lee and Claude after the last GN (hopefully they are both
safe) this current chapter deals with Micah and his newly formed team
with Abigail, West, and Sparrow trying to locate Micah's family. While
Micah infiltrates the computers and security systems of Building 26,
the intrepid trio infiltrate Building 26 itself, running into Peter
Petrelli and Matt Parkman along the way. While they free and escape
with Great Aunt Nana and Damon, Monica is still MIA. Micah is narrating
the piece and keeps referring to a sacrifice. Is he referring to Matt
and Peter not being in on the rescue and Matt getting caught or did
something else go wrong? The last image we see is the familiar haunting
text of "To be continued" captioning what looks like Micah in the cross
hairs of a sniper scope, though the weapon could be packing
tranquilizer darts as my friend Frank pointed out. Nice cliffhanger. I
am hoping we will also find out next issue where Monica is being held
(nice Super Mario Bros. reference too). While Building 26 seems to be
the main holding facility, I have to wonder where the other facilities
might be. In GN 138, Micah had mentioned operations in Tokyo,
Melbourne, and London, but it is unknown if any of these had holding
facilities like Building 26. Given that Hiro was taken stateside, I
don't think Tokyo is a likely place for an alternate holding facility.
Jason
Badower's art and Oliver Grigsby's writing are fantastic to put it
mildly. I sincerely hope they get to team up on more GN's in the
future. While this summer will be an abbreviated run compared to the
every week GN's we were used to getting, if the Arc continues to be
this good, it is well worth the wait. I know a couple fans had voiced
complaints this issue over Abigail's and Sparrow's wardrobe but I for
one like it and if I looked like or even half as good as either of
those ladies I'd dress that way too!
I
am very much enjoying this Rebel arc and had been interested even
before Claude made his all too brief materialization last issue (you
can never have too much Claude). I am hoping to see him again (or at
least know he's safe) before this arc concludes. (And Claude is welcome
to hide with me any time) Also, I think I should point out that via the
ARG/360/Evolutions interactive I had taken the time to email and text
"Micah" about Claude (and ironically also about Abigail and Lee as
well) back when "Micah" gave us back access to the map and asked that we fill him in on specials in danger.
