Huh, for the most part, this issue had nothing to do with the rest of this mini. Most of it was about this adulterous pair of cops who just happen to get in between the Lone Gunmen and the people that are trying to stop them. The man-cop gets to come back and have his vengeance, and the woman-cop (for no apparent reason) does not get to join him. I'd think an expectant mother who finally broke up the bad marriage she was in for a man who actually loves her would be reason enough to warrant revenge.
Another problem I had with this issue ... the Lone Gunmen didn't even get to meet the Crow. I feel cheated. I understand that comic covers don't always reflect what is inside, but the Flying Saucer and the Crow crop circle on the cover led me to believe there would be more connections between these two universes.
I've had problems with Tipton's writing before. In Star Trek/Doctor Who: Assimilation^2 the characters were quoting themselves on every page, and the story was a cut and paste job that made little sense. Here he's done better giving us a cohesive story, and there was only once where I felt like the characters quoted themselves, but the quote was also kinda their catch-phrase ... it was okay. This issue was just okay. It doesn't make me want to read the main series though. It just seemed like the Lone Gunman passed through this world, and was barely effected by it.
In the end, they didn't really need the Crow and the revenge it provided man-cop. The death of their pursuers could have gone another way. Meh. At least nothing was spoiled for the conclusion we're about to face. I am excited to see how this wraps up.
