Four people resurrected from the dead with the powers to control the very element which killed them. No one trusts them, not the government, the city they protect, or other metahumans. Will these 4 unlikely heroes (Vortex, Monolith, Morningstar, and Fathom) be able to stand together against the lies and forces set upon them, or will they fall prey and crumble under the pressure? In this issue: "Spontaneous Generation" Picking up where Texas Comics' Justice Machine Annual no. 1 left off, we find our heroes at home trying to make sense of recent events. A visit from an FBI agent investigating the supposed deaths and resurrection of the 4 prompts an unscheduled lunch atop Seattle's Space Needle where the Elementals are attacked by an evil supergroup, but for what purpose? Fans of J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars, Morrison's X-Men, or Millar's Ultimate X-Men should definitely give this a read. Cover price $1.50.
