20-Odd Questions returns with a look at Jim Lee and Grant Morrison's Wildcats #1. Following up on the events of Captain Atom: ARMAGEDDON, how will the Wildstorm universe we all know and love be changed?

We had 20 fanboys ask the questions you need to know.

Why did they deviate so far from the movie's continuity, and did they ever get notes from the studio about it? Did Wildstorm fail to get the likeness rights for Goldie Hawn?

Who would win in a fight: The WildCATs or the Thundercats?

Isn't Grifter dead?

I KNEW IT!! i KNEW Colt was Winter's father!

i never knew Tori Amos wrote a song about Winter. cool


No, really, Grant Morrison said there will be a WildCATS vs Authority fight in one of the future issues.

God bless the ring


7. Speaking of Voodoo, a superhero stripper, seriously. What is that all about?

It was Christine Trelane who cooked Winter's goose, forgetting he was on Skywatch before everyone teleported down.

And she never even said that she was sorry.:(

wasn't it Winter who said he had to pilot the station into the sun?

Yeah, and he seemed OK with it but he didn't exactly have a hell of a lot of choice after everyone left the ship without him.

And I'm sure he would've done differently knowing he would have to endure years of agony in the sun before the Authority found him - even though it was strongly implied that the aliens killed him before they hit the sun.

it pains us all, friend. especially considering this title is bimonthly, and that's the second worst word in the comic book industry

What's the worst? "Liefield"?

well, originally it was 'CANCELLED' but Liefeld does indeed seem worse than that

Yes but the plan was for the Authority to give everyone their Morrison fix in the months when there was no Wildcats. And now that plan is shot to hell right out of the gate. I honestly thought it would at least three months for it to happen.

Poor guy.

Skywatch took like a week to get to the sun, and in that whole time he was probably hoping the CATS would come back and get him the hell off the station.

a rescue mission like that would be insane. but a week alone with xenomorphs on Skywatch had to be hell. i mean, Winter's powers don't work like Frostbite's, he doesn't need to charge up, but still, a week? bet he couldn't even sleep

Wait, they did? I gave up on Authority somewhat early. When did this happen, issue-wise?

IIRC it was one of Morrison's first stories, after Millar wrapped up.

I just wonder what everyone was doing down on earth while the platform was zipping towards the sun. "Winter, we hardly knew ye"?

If they knew where Apollo was, they could've rescued him. I think Apollo could outrace the platform.

Note that that is Robbie Morrison and not Grant Morrison(the current writer) who wrote the Scorched Earth annual...

When the Authority did find him they put him into a bubble (in the Carrier's "engine" IIRC) he went back to be in eternal pain *again*.

Sucks to be Winter.
