Was a good start. Very secret agent. I'm interested to see where you go with it. Keep 'em coming.

Really enjoyed it. Great cast you have, jealous you got the Elite before I thought of something to do with them. Will keep a close eye on this title. Look forward to when Vera shows (one of my favourite characters). Good stuff.

Yeah I really liked where this is going. I always liked Manchester Black as a character. Plus I did love Mark Shaw as the Manhunter back in the 1980s when he was paid to do this type of stuff. Good start man.

The Elite stuff had just started when I got into comics, so I have a deep appreciation for it and from the looks of it, it'll be in good hands.
I definitely love the more "hard" secret agent vibe to contrast Jack's "soft" secret agent vibe in S.H.A.D.E. Casino Royale and Licence to Kill vs. Live and Let Die and Diamonds are Forever. All good movies, but with very different flavors.

Alright, the second prelude issue is up. As I write, I find myself wanting to expand more on the coming together of everything, prior to the actual story, and have now expanded the whole origin process to at least three, possibly four issues worth a material. This has given me a chance to provide a little insight to the characters and their motivations prior to digging into the main action of the tale I want to tell.

Great work man, really enjoying it. Funny to see NZ mentioned in there. Is that it for Coldcast?

Regarding Coldcast. My original plan was for him to have a much, much more gruesome (and by no mistake final) demise, but I rebuilt the story to give an out in case somebody else is interested in using him, or if this story continues into a second year, I can seeing bringing him back in an unexpected capacity. This way also gave me a chance to introduce Breathtaker onto the team.

I did like seeing Black recruit the Key. Who basically really wants a challenge to solve puzzles and all. That he doesn't care for money or power now. Its the challenge. I also liked Breathtaker. A pretty cool female rogue/hero whatever role she has. Nice 0.2 read.

Alright, 0.2 is done, and I can't wait to hear what people think about this one, as I have done a great deal of overhauling to the character of Triumph, making him a member of the alien Kheribum race, tying him to Backlash and DMZ of my other series, Ultimate Star Chamber (and leading to an inevitable cross-over).
And then there is that other thing... ;D

Really like how you handled the memory-type scene, and how you are using the character of 'the Key.' Like I said before, it seems great. I love the team building story lines- but look forward to when they have to deal with some bad guys.

Alright, with today's release of the WildC.A.T.S. Annual 2011, that makes six issues, so I guess Manchester Black and his crew, along with Mark Shaw and his people, Officially part of the continuity of this fine universe. Woot-woot. BTW, regarding the characters in Annual 2011. This was a story I wrote for Manhunter almost a decade ago for an old Suicide Squad fanfic I started in a shared universe that never saw light of day, so I used some fairly obscure characters/referneces, as I had to change some names, and if anybody else wants to use them, they can feel free. General Martens-A United States General, he was briefly mentioned in the now forgotten Hawk & Dove attempted remake from the ninties. Chimera-A teleporter who works for the government. Originally, in main DCU, she was an alias used by Nightshade when she went undercover and infiltrated Jihad in the first Ostrander Arc of Suicide Squad. Here, I have simply made her into a new character Death Doll-A cyborg new character. The government likely has brbuilt her since the story and she can be out there once again being very, very bad (or good or whatever). Some of them may end up getting new life if some plans that were discussed last night come to fruition!

You definitely have some cool stuff working out in here. I really enjoyed the Christmas issue. Manchester Black is one of my favorites. It was nice seeing a little bit of a softer side.
Keep it up!

I really liked this Wildcats team. The parts where the team is going into the jungle seems pretty cool. I also like the plot with Manhunter and Vera Black. The hero profiles at the end seemed to work very well as well. I really liked that touch.

I still need to read the Christmas special, but it's allbeen very well done through that. I really liked the Annual love the dual plots and imagine you'll end up tying them together in the end.

Enjoyed #3. Have no prior knowledge of the whole Kherubim storyline, so interested to see what comes out of that. I'm enjoying the team dynamic you've got going. I like Triumph.
