I'm glad they brought over Bombshell from the ultimate universe. I wonder why did she come to see Miles. I'm sure the school thing was just a cover.

I see you niccas...
lol... completely removed from the insane arcs in Batman & Superman. Couldn't even tell you whats happening in the other Leaguer books. This the type of thing I hope Rebirth straightens out.
Injection is basically this: British Government saw a point in the future where humanity would just.... stagnate. So they got together 6 people from unique and weird backgrounds and simply asked them to bounce ideas off each other and come up with a way to jump humanity past that point. To make things interesting. This group included (in typical Ellis fashion)
their expert on X-Files-y weird shyt
Their best secret spy and hired killer
a super smart insufferable genius private detective
a modern wizard/magician
and a genius hacker girl
instead of merely bouncing ideas off of one another, they decided to create something new. They took a custom created artificial intelligence, taught it to have human level intelligence but not think like a human, infused it with magic and "injected" it into the internet.
What could possibly go wrong?
Story starts out with the X-Files expert in a mental ward and the wizard a burned out shell of a man. The "Injection" had been thanking/trolling them by altering their reality and throwing all of them into fukked up situations tailor made just for them.
To make things 'interesting'.
And it's starting to get a little more bold.
It reads almost like a mix of Planetary and Global Frequency. It's Warren Ellis thoroughly enjoying himself. It's full of...... Ellis' weirdness and quirky shyt and action scenes.
yep pretty much.

I forget to keep up with this book all the time. I want to say it was almost too weird for me but I read through Morrison's Annihilator and Nameless so I'm pretty sure I can read through anything now.

Been waiting on that Darkseid War trade. fukkin DC splitting it up in 3 trades. 
I'm 95 percent sure they'll release a complete edition in a year.

well, to be fair, it started to do the Planetary Release Schedule thing. It's only been coming out regularly for like the last 3 issues or so.
It's more..... cohesive right now, as well.

Yeah, the first issues were really "out there", to say the least. Did you read Annihilator btw? I would recommend it except it's kinda dark and I think some of it might resonate with you a bit too much.
