    Motherland

    This isn't the first time Brian K. Vaughn has started a book in this series with a prophetic dream. This is my favorite, it's a take on Casablanca. With Beth telling him they will never have Paris. If he goes to Paris his life will be in danger. The rest of the issue, much like all the first issues in a story line, is basically just talking. Oh this one adds the tasty flavor of monkey sex. The story is interesting, the dialogue is cool. And it works when you put it together with the rest of the story, but on it's own. I can only recommend it to fans of the book. They would probably read it any way.
