After a failed attempt at a trenchcoat disguise, Gargoyle returns to his hometown, where he lived before he was turned into a monster, and we learn that his demon self came from a “race” of angels who travelled space and then committed “racial suicide” by crashing into Earth. At their death, they emerged as a collective “unconsciousness” known as Null.
Naturally, the team gets together and fights Null.
In the process, Gargoyle is freed of his past and can smile. Which is nice.
There’s lots of trenchcoat disguises in this issue…
Beast is looking to join the team–and we’re moving towards a big lineup change that will move the series in a terrific new direction.
Also, Hellcat destroys Devil-Slayer’s shadow cloak by folding it up so that it swallows itself.
Remember, he gave her the cloak, but apparently she isn’t interested in being able to teleport. After a young boy finds her cloak and gets (literally) lost in it, Patsy decides it’s too dangerous to keep around. What are you doing? Just lock it in a closet! You can fucking teleport with it!!!
