Plot Summary

Overview

He's BACK IN BLACK and right in the Initiative's sights! Join WAR MACHINE and his assault team as they hunt down the #1 unregistered hero in America: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Also: which former mutant has the BEAST brought in to train TRAUMA? And introducing the Initiative's all-new Black Ops Unit-- a team with a secret that will make this the can't-miss-comic of '07!

Spoilers!!

Flying above Washington D.C. is a plane surrounded by members of the Initiative, who are on their way to Camp Hammond. Hardball looks out the plane at Justice and comments that Justice must know because he keeps looking at Cloud 9.

He continues by guessing that Justice can read minds, a feat most telekinetics can perform and he becomes angry with this idea. Turning to Komodo he says that even if Komodo does not care about Justice being in her mind in his own case, he has some secrets he would like to keep secret.

In shock he turns to see an attractive young black-haired woman at his side rather than the lizard creature he was expecting. He stares at her as she yawns and wakes up, in horror she looks at her human hands. Immediately a transformation takes place and she turns on Hardball unleashing her fury, “HARDBALL! What did you see?!”

Komodo freaks out and Hardball tries to defend himself from the lizard-like enraged female. An enraged Gauntlet, followed by Pym, runs to the “rescue” of Hardball shouting at Komodo to restrain herself. Gauntlet’s right arm wraps around Komodo and with it he rips her out of her seat demanding answers.

She says that he saw her when she was powered down and knows her secret identity, Pym questions Hardball on this. He says that its just some girl, nobody that he knew…Hardball smiles and then says to a relieved Komodo, “Hey, Komodo…nice to finally meet you.”

    Bug Hunt

    Yeah the registered heroes are coming off as assholes. War Machine and Hank Pym have plans to put Kimodo in a mission to capture Spiderman. It is traumatic for her because Spiderman convinced her that is she doesn't do well enough for the Initiative that they will take her powers away. She seems to think if she is not in her Kimodo persona that she is a loser and after failing to capture Spidey she breaks down with War Machine watching and not being sympathetic at all. Oh and by the way War Machine really sounds like a villain here when he tells Peter that when they take Peter's powers that they will not let the world not have a Spiderman. So is it like register or we will replace you and put you in prison 42? THat sux big time.

    Trauma is getting taught to control his powers by Dani Moonstar and Beast. That seems like it will be ok. I think next issue we will finally see Justice and Cloud 9 talk. And Hardball is acting like a total dick and is about to be blackmailed by a mysterious older man who wants Initiative tech.

    Funniest line in the book was when Hardball goes into a bar flaunting his self trying to get recognition and someone says "Oh no its Speedball!" HA HA HA

    The art was fine and the cover cool to me. Also Shocker showed up and was captured with Boomerang and Hydroman...I believe I read that they will register. OH and the Thing showed to show the recruits that they aint bad at all after taking down a Hydra attack. Gauntlet was saying that even his 2 year old could take down Hydra to which Slapstick replied..."Maybe YOUR 2 year old."

    Priceless.
