Grifter is still making his way back to his Earth while the rest of the team is made an offer they can’t refuse. WildC.A.T.s #9 makes things really interesting as three stories bounce around adding to the threat and delivering the fun action the series has been delivering since its debut.

WildC.A.T.s #9 continues its trio of focuses. Matthew Rosenberg delivers solid time to each moving things along in entertaining ways and making sure to deliver some surprises for each.

Grifter delivers the emotion of the comic as Rosenberg has done so much for the character. To make it back to his world he must kill someone but in doing so, he condemns another world. That world features his brother and his former lover, both want him to not do what he needs to. All of it is a bit tragic and is sure to haunt Grifter as the series continues.

The WildC.A.T.s team itself is being made an offer by a mysterious individual who promises them support. It’s clear there’s others who really want the team on their payroll and a surprising name is dropped, one that could open up the characters for a very interesting future. This part of the story delivers the humor the series has packed in.

Then, there’s Voodoo who’s capture by the Court of Owls and their superhero team. It’s interesting to see where it goes and the friction there but it also delivers a great ending full of action. It’s a bit of been there, seen that overall, but the scene is entertaining in its own ways.

The comic continues its solid visuals from Danny Kim and Tom Derenick. There’s such a great balance of drama, action, and humor when it comes to the visuals. A line is delivered with a great look on a face or body language, it helps deliver each punch. The duo is helped by Elmer Santos‘ coloes and lettering by Ferran Delgado.

WildC.A.T.s #9 continues a great story and integration of the characters and series into the greater DCU. It’s been fantastic and delivered with each issue nailing key moments and doing a solid job of folding so many classic characters.
