Yeah and in fairness to the comic, I don't think it's going to be all about strippers in the future either since she quit. Still I was kind of surprised that there seemed to be less of the HBO-style attempt to justify contextless boobies with "grit" and "edginess" than I was expecting and instead it was just...boobies.
But yeah, I'm now totally confused about the ending because people seem to think different things. I think that they may have changed her powers? Unless she always had the ability to have both her alien and human forms? SO CONFUSED which isn't a brilliantly clear sign, though I guess next week should clear it up.
It's interesting you say she was aloof - I couldn't tell if it was that or if she was simply uncertain and detached - we spend so little time in her head? And I think in another context I'd find that more intriguing but the contextless boobies sort of make me a little less charitable about that.
I also think that she has a fair amount of naivety and innocence though? I got that impression from the scene in the dressing room, where she seems to almost be aloof not through distance but through lack of knowledge about people?
I'm sorry to say I have no idea about the WildCATS in this. From what's happened so far in Grifter and this, I would guess that they're not going to be in it right now but might show up later?
You're right that histories of the comics seem to be getting the "pick and choose" treatment based on what the individual writer wants to do and/or thinks will be good for the title. Stormwatch is pretty much getting totally rebooted so I guess that might go for all the Wildstorm titles. Which sucks for their fans, though I suppose unlike some other characters they have less of a fanbase in-built and they might want to make it more accessible for newbies? WHO KNOWS is basically what I'm saying. They have said that there will be more Wildstorm characters popping up about the place as the relaunch continues though. I know that Caitlin Fairchild (who I think is from Gen13?) is in Superboy now.
I think I'm gonna take the comics as just what they present to me until they introduce me to the WildCATS. In Grifter's case particularly this seems to be his "origin story".
Here's hoping that the sleazy asshole didn't win that encounter?
