With a chilling mix of detachment and dark anticipation, he reflects on how he manipulated their arrival by erasing critical data—and secretly hopes one of them will die, so he can capture the moment as a recorded legacy. The issue’s stark, grounded tone is elevated by Frank Lopez’s moody colors and Madonna’s sharp lettering, all framed by a striking cover by John Czop, Fred Harper, and Scott "Pond Scum" Elmer.
In "P.O.V.," the enigmatic Recorder observes the clash between Force Works and the Avatars with chilling detachment, quietly reveling in the chaos he engineered by tampering with the team’s systems. His true motive—documenting a hero’s death—lurks beneath the surface, turning the battle into something far more personal.
