Locked, loaded, and ready to roll…Grifter’s back, and the WildC.A.T.s are going to war! Wild.C.A.T.s #10 is packed with action as we get some dots connected and some twists and turns. The issue continues the series’ mix of over the top moments, humor, and surprises.

Written by Matthew Rosenberg, Wild.C.A.T.s #10 is another solid issue in the series as it bounces around a few aspects of the story. In the past, we get to see what went down with a clash between Spartan and Peacemaker. Good action, funny moments, it’s a lifting of the veil a bit. But, in the present Spartan is dealing with Maul in his attempt to protect Voodoo. That of course escalates as these things do with some surprising moments that should be really interesting going forward.

But, the real surprise is who made the offer to the WildC.A.T.s that are presumed dead. In the previous issue, they’ve been given the opportunity for some work and to take on the HALO Corporation but the offer has been given by an unexpected person which is absolutely going to set up some conflict. But, the real conflict is between the team and Batman, Arsenal, and Black Canary. It’s borderline superheroes misunderstanding each other and fighting first with questions later but it’s fun to see the team go against some pretty big DC heavy hitters. It’s a battle that doesn’t go quite as expect which is par for Rosenberg’s take on this series. As usual, the story keeps readers on their toes.

And, that’s what’s been fun about this run with the team. You never know who’s going to show up and what their role in everything will be. What’s clear though is the WildC.A.T.s aren’t quite heroes and not quit bad guys, though they are willing to do bad things to achieve their goals.

The art by Stephen Segovia and Tom Derenick is where issues are here. With color by Elmer Santos and lettering by Ferran Delgado, the art usually packs a punch to match the story. But, there’s some stumbles with this issue with characters that the detail isn’t quite there and fight scenes where the art doesn’t feature the crispness that we usually see. Overall, there’s an art change here and it’s noticeable unfortunately.

Wild.C.A.T.s #10 is another piece of the bigger picture dance that’s going on and it’s a hell of a lot of fun. The series continues to entertain with every issue delivering so much with every one. As a fan of the characters within, it’s great to see this new mix and see it working so well. Here’s to hopefully more Wildstorm in the DC Universe, especially if it’s this quality.
