    Season 4 Episode 14: DP7 #22 "Army Dreamers" Draft Tie in Issue

    They've been trapped in the clinic, on the run, running the clinic, dunked in The PITT and now, Drafted? Yep, It's looking like some of our favorite paranormals are in boot camp. I'm sure a barracks full of paranormals will go fine. Oh, wait! Pittbull is there too? This issue parallels the special "The Draft" but follows the DP7 group instead of the three new guys.

    Season 4 Episode 13: PSI Force #22 "The Kick Inside"

    Up until now we got the feeling that Thomas Boyd has been through a lot in his life, but with this issue we really find out. Thomas has been an assasin for a rogue CIA agent, part of teh PSI Force team and now drafted and getting evaluated by an out of control Nightmask persona. It doesn't get much crazier than this! If that wasn't enough, a back up story following everyone's favorite pranormal...Mutator!

    Season 4 Episode 12: The Draft

    At long last, the Draft is here! This issue tells the story of three new paranormals who end up drafted into the government's new paranormal military squad. Meet Gridlock, a sad man who gets no respect but can make tubes from thin air (that should help). Also Metallurgust, who can control a chevy hubcap (seriously) and Blow Out, a PhD student who explosively teleports. We also see the return of Nightmask and meet Sgt. Haldeman who has a truly horrifying power.

    Season 4 Episode 11: Star Brand #14 Sins of the Father

    And finally we return to bi-monthy Star Brand. In this issue we learn more about the motivations of Ken and Duck's space super star baby. Sure the issue is a bit weird, but we've got some great impressions and a back up story "Family Ties" that follows up on what happened to the family that Jenny Swensen rescued from the PITT.

    Season 4 Episode 10: DP7 #21 Death of the Clinic

    Death of the Clinic??? Say it ain't so Gruenwald, we like the clinic!! In this issue a lot of the clinic paranormals are split up and have run ins with the army and state stroopers. Let's hope everyone is ok. We also get a special backup story "CHOICES" with the return of one of our favorite characters from a canceled New Universe series.
