A Look Back at The Kindred #4 (1994)

Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the mid-1990s to examine one of the many tales of the WildStorm universe through The Kindred mini-series.

After reading the first three issues of this WildStorm mini-series, Grifter and Backlash were well defined as two former teammates of Team 7 who are at great odds with each other. Adding more emphasis to the Team 7 legacy and the dirty history of International Operations (IO) was IO officer John Lynch (who became a captive in this mini-series) and the revealed leader of the Kindred. The stage is set for the conclusion of this mini-series.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at The Kindred #4, published by Image Comics in 1994 with a story written by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and the illustrator himself, Brett Booth.

Early story

The story begins some time after the leader of the Kindred revealed himself to Lynch, Grifter, Backlash and Alicia Turner. It has been former IO operative and Team 7 member Roberto Diaz all along and he blamed Backlash for leaving him for dead more than twenty years prior during a desperate situation in South America.

On the orders of Diaz, a few of the beastly Kindred servants carried the severely damaged body of Backlash to a waterfall and threw him down. Elsewhere, Grifter is naked and contained in a water container with oxygen and a communication device attached to him. Roberto Diaz watches and communicates with him. Diaz tells Grifter that the his old identity is no more and the only thing he requires from him are gen samples which are crucial to better understand the genesis drug.

Diaz reveals to him that duplicating the genesis drug is crucial for the Kindred to create more life and be able to overwhelm the world and force it to recognize the might of the Kindred society. Grifter tries to reason with his former teammate by telling him that the genesis serum is something that is not meant to be tampered as it will lead to destruction…

Quality

This early, I can say that Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth gave their best effort to make this final chapter very intriguing, dramatic and explosive to read at the same time. Along the way, they expanded the lore of the original WildStorm universe while building up anticipation for the Team 7 original mini-series (released in the 4th quarter of 1994).

The writing got even stronger in this final issue in terms of storytelling and character development. Roberto Diaz is not a one-dimensional super villain. In fact, he strongly believes that he was betrayed not only by Team 7 and IO, but by humanity in general. As such, he found purpose with the Kindred during his survival days and injected himself with the genesis drug which enhanced him but also turned him into an addict (this alone added drug addiction as a key theme). As far as Roberto Diaz is concerned, he is on a path of no return and his obsession with vengeance against humanity justifies his leadership of the Kindred and the master plan to overwhelm humanity someday. In terms of geopolitics, this reminds me a lot about Islamic terrorists going up against Western civilization using violence while having their fellow Islamists migrate into different nations worldwide to overwhelm those societies from within. Of course, the concept of Diaz and the Kindred plotting against many billions of humans here is high fantasy mixed with unethical science, terrorism, infiltration and terrorism.

The creators managed to develop Grifter, Backlash and John Lynch even more. Lynch here is portrayed as very stressed and struggling with being responsible over the deaths of many men IO sent to rescue him. He even believed for a while that Backlash is dead and he knows fully well that the Kindred are not crazy but rather intelligent and are obsessed with seeking justice. In some ways, Lynch is also responsible for the Kindred and he reflects on what he did for decades for IO while serving as a Team 7 member with a leadership role.

Grifter and Backlash, who are often visually featured in the promos of this mini-series, also have their fair share of the spotlight. Both heroes are severely beaten and not even their special talents or powers were enough to overcome the violent opposition of the Kindred. I like the way the creators emphasized Grifter’s (civilian identity: Cole Cash) personality as he got into the same prison cell with Alicia Turner who turned out to be involved with him several years prior. Grifter here is uneasy about the past not only as member of Team 7 but also as a person. As for Backlash, I’ll say that he has the classic heroic comeback in this issue and things got really tense between him and Roberto Diaz.

When it comes to superhero spectacle, this one is really packed with action and Brett Booth delivered some dynamic artworks to make the story look entertaining. When he draws the Kindred – those animalistic loyalists of Roberto Diaz – he makes them look horrific and intimidating from time to time. When it comes to drawing Backlash and Grifter, Booth’s take has some rough edges as this mini-series was produced before the start of the Backlash series.

Conclusion

I can say that The Kindred #4 (1994) is a worthy end to the mini-series. By the time the plot concluded, the lore and the paramilitary concepts of the original WildStorm universe got expanded a lot with emphasis on the legacy left behind by Team 7 and IO. Grifter, Backlash and John Lynch – all former teammates of Team 7 – got nicely developed here and their significance within the WildStorm universe got stronger. This comic book delivered intrigue, surprises and a good amount of spectacle from start to finish. It also succeeded in setting the stage for the late-1994 launch of Team 7.

Overall, The Kindred #4 (1994) is recommended.

AOC: What does it cost us, and you, as a human being, to look the other way.

What is it costing us, as human beings and as a society to look the other way when women, and children, and innocent people, and young men of promise, are ripped off the street and thrown into a van and dissapeared and you never see them again. There's what that cost to them, but think about what that costs you to look the other way. What does it cost us as a society that starts to normalize looking the other way. - AOC

This Minneapolis puppet show is helping the community process the fascist paramilitary invasion

Video Source:
https://reddit.com/comments/1t42kd4

Thousands of people gathered in south Minneapolis for the Mayday parade, ceremony and festival on Sunday, May 3. The annual spring celebration was marked by themes of resilience, grief and anti-ICE sentiments.

The hillside of Powderhorn Park was packed with crowds to watch the Tree of Life Ceremony. The performance is a central part of the annual event and is put on by hundreds of volunteers who create large puppets. Each year’s performance invites the community to celebrate joy and resilience.

This year’s show depicted a family being separated by federal agents and highlighted the different ways community members came together throughout the recent immigration enforcement operation. South Minneapolis is where federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.

> The chaos erupted just before 10:30 p.m., when agents brought the man to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in the Bushwick neighborhood. The Department of Homeland Security identified him as Chidozie Wilson Okeke, an immigrant from Nigeria who had overstayed a visa. Agents had used force during his arrest and he had requested medical attention, the department said in a statement.
>
> A local group that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ vehicles had apparently followed them to the hospital, said Sandy Nurse, the local city councilwoman, who was present during the demonstration. As many as 200 protesters gathered outside the hospital while the detainee was inside, and some began throwing garbage cans into the street, the police said. Officers received numerous 911 calls and took several people into custody, the police said.
>
> Hours later, agents brought the man out of the hospital. Around 2:15 a.m., officers responded to new reports of protesters blocking the ambulance bay, the police said. Videos show two federal agents dragging the detained man, who is handcuffed, out of a hospital exit, down a short staircase and into the ambulance bay, where he appears to fall to the ground.
>
> The two agents then stand over him while police officers hold back protesters who are shouting at the agents. Moments later, the agents pull the man up by the arms and drag him into a waiting car.

Community Alert: ICE Operations Actively Surging on Illinois Streets

Added Context:
I've been hearing these comments about ICE ramping up. Here is an example:

[https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/22/midway-blitz-is-over-but-ice-is-still-quietly-targeting-chicago-immigrants-especially-at-court/](https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/22/midway-blitz-is-over-but-ice-is-still-quietly-targeting-chicago-immigrants-especially-at-court/)

For context, the US gov gave these goons the budget of the German military with nearly no supervision. And as of right now, the budget renewal bill passing around in Congress is trying to give them even more obscene money with no increase in regulation.

It would be unreasonable to expect that they are not going to use that money to increase their ranks and send goons back in. They are probably going to train them a bit better and scale back the naked maliciousness. When they murdered two Americans a few months back, they were under expressed orders from Miller to violently antagonize protestors because Miller believes that violence scares peaceful people.

After the public backlash, as of now, it seems that the Miller doctrine is off. But ICE still has absurd levels of money and a mandate to develop itself as Trump's personal imperial guard. They are going to go back to every major blue city and cause more havoc, even if their tactics improve to prevent being in the news as much.

They've been actively terrorizing non-white people in red states the entire time, and we don't hear much about it because red states are happy to support that. The Guardian says ICE and CBP have had about the same amount of arrests in Feb and March of this year as July and August of last year. So they have been active, just trying to keep out of the news by harassing people in communities that allow it.

Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the mid-1990s to examine one of the many tales of Jim Lee’s original WildStorm universe through the original Gen13 mini-series.

There is a lot to enjoy in the WildStorm comic book universe of the 1990s with such titles like WildCATS: Covert Action Teams, Team 7, StormWatch, Grifter, Backlash and Wetworks to name some. The WildStorm depicts the world as chaotic filled with strong paramilitary concepts, conspiracies and even aliens from deep space.

Along the way, WildStorm has its own take on the sub-genre of super-powered teenagers which was realized as Gen13 (stylized as Gen13). Strangely enough, the team – which actually first appeared in the Deathmate Black crossover comic book in 1993 – was originally titled as Gen X but WildStorm had to rebrand it into Gen13 as Marvel Comics already trademarked the name Generation X for an X-Men-related comic book project. To learn more about production history and background of Gen13, click here.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Gen13 #1, published by Image Comics in 1994 with a story written by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi with artwork done by Jeffrey Scott Campbell (ink work by Alex Garner). This is the first issue of the mini-series.  

Early story

The story begins sometime in 1979 when a married couple (Stephen and Rachel Callahan) desperate runs away with their two little children. A team of armored troops (the Black Razors) riding two hovering vehicles catches up with them and hit Rachel with bullets passing through her body. Stephen, who is carrying his son Matthew, uses his power to destroy one of the hovering vehicles. One of the Black Razors realized that the husband is gen-active and nobody informed their team that he was with Gen12.

Agonizing with severe head pain, Stephen tells Matthew to take his little sister Nicole with him and run to the trees. As far as Stephen is concerned, he is finished and all he can do is buy time for the two little children to escape. He tells Matthew to protect his sister. Suddenly, the Black Razors killed Stephen right in front of Matthew and Nicole.

Fifteen years later, a young, nerdy college student named Caitlin Fairchild makes her way through the college campus in Princeton. She is a gifted student who has been focused on maintaining a high grade and graduate with her advanced degree in computer science in the near future.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, she meets her promiscuous roommate Alexa who informs her that some guys arrived earlier looking for her. The guys were described as middle-aged suits and they wanted to talk to Caitlin about some internship program. Alexa then leaves.

A few hours later, Caitlin wakes up as the door gets knocked. Special agent baker of the National Security Committee tells her that she has been accepted into the Gen13 program and her presence is immediately required in order to process her into the program before it begins the next day…

Quality

I enjoyed this comic book the first time I had it in 1994. I can clearly say that it is still fun and engaging to read again today.

This comic book was written with the intention to introduce super-powered teenagers as a new and really distinctive team in one corner of the original WildStorm universe while also expanding the lore by focusing more on International Operations’ unethical covert operations which will easily remind people about government conspiracies, top secret missions and the like. The story has really strong elements about conspiracies, unethical scientific experiments and even human rights violations. The story by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi has a strong structure but what stood out to me was the really creative writing done to bring the characters to life complete with a touch of the 1990s vibe (in reference to comic book trends and real-life society).

John Lynch, a former member of Team 7 and also one of the high-ranking officials of IO who occasionally appeared in prior WildStorm comic books, gets a nice share of the spotlight in the story and indeed he is not full control of his organization. In fact, IO’s execution of a new program about developing people with special abilities or powers (without their knowledge) raises Lynch’s concerns as he himself was a victim of betrayal and exposure to an experimental gas during his time with Team 7. Lynch also appeared in The Kindred mini-series (read my reviews by clicking here, here and here).

When it comes to the characters, Gen13’s members here are introduced with notable differences in terms of personality. The nerdy Caitlin Fairchild is the very promising smart young lady who has the potential to succeed. Bobby (Burnout) is the quiet guy who quickly realizes that true unity is needed in order for a group to succeed under the program they are in. Roxy is the undisciplined and rebellious young lady while Grunge is the loose cannon and has trouble with authorities. While it is clear you won’t see much of their powers yet in this comic book, they turned out to be interesting enough to follow thanks to the strong creative writing by Lee and Choi.

When it comes to the visuals, Jeffrey Scott Campbell’s artworks really stood out mainly due to his distinctive style. If you look closely at how he draws the faces of women – particularly the ones who are young and fit – you will realize the exaggerated look complete with the big eyes and curves seen on females in anime or even manga (Japanese comics). If you are looking visual realism on the characters, you won’t find it here at all. Campbell’s style truly defined the look of the characters and yet he was able to draw armored troops (Black Razors and the armed security guard) with a really high level of details (including their weapons) which really stood out visually. Campbell is also good with superhero spectacle and hard action. Last but not least, there is a deliberate amount of erotic imagery in this comic book which serves as a reminder that this is a story aimed at young adult and adult readers.  

Conclusion

Indeed, Gen13 #1 (1994) remains entertaining to read mainly because of the strong writing. The story moved at a smooth pace, the exposition was done cleverly, and the characters ended up being worthy enough to pay attention to. By the time I reached the end, I am convinced to go on to the next issue and rediscover not only more of the mini-series but also the way it expanded the lore of the WildStorm universe of the 1990s. This comic book alone strongly emphasized the connections with other elements of the WildStorm universe, particularly with Team 7 (its mini-series launched months after this one) and the dark legacy of IO. It is an adulterated superhero comic book that really offered readers something new and intriguing.

Overall, Gen13 #1 (1994) is recommended.

A Look Back at The Kindred #3 (1994)

Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the mid-1990s to examine one of the many tales of the WildStorm universe through The Kindred mini-series.

Having read the first two issues, I can say that the plot has been built-up into something that justifies not only the reuniting of former Team 7 teammates Grifter and Backlash (who hate each other) but also the consequences caused by IO’s (International Operations) a long time prior. So far the creative team of WildStorm father Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and artist Brett Booth succeeded in telling an entertaining story with a balance on action, suspense and intrigue.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at The Kindred #3, published by Image Comics in 1994 with a story written by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth. Booth illustrated the comic book.  

Early story

The story begins with John Lynch being helpless in front of Bloodmoon, the vicious leader of the Kindred. Lynch tells him that he has no recollection of him, the Kindred and the crimes he has been accused of. Regardless, Lynch is being prepared for the trial under the Kindred’s system of justice.

Bloodmoon learns from one of his pawns that they captured the three men who were sent to rescue the prisoners. Two of the captured were sensed to have the Kindred’s blood within them. Bloodmoon then orders to have them brought to him immediately.

Minutes later, Grifter and Backlash – both battered and worn down – were brought to Bloodmoon.

Quality

Following the events of issue #2, there is a huge pay-off in this comic book and it added more depth into the plot. With Lynch, Backlash and Grifter – all of them were teammates in Team 7 a long time prior – helpless early in the story, the stakes really went high up as something significant about Bloodmoon and how the Kindred started got revealed.

Bloodmoon is not the typical comic book villain. His origin and how the Kindred was established are linked to the high-stakes experiments IO conducted on animals on Caballito (this makes IO’s top-secret experimentation on humans to unlock super-human potential literally just the tip of the iceberg). The way Bloodmoon was portrayed here, he is convinced that he exists with an undeniable purpose to lead the Kindred while getting striking back at humanity for vengeance starting with IO and former Team 7 members. The tragic events of the past made him a very hardened character and the living and walking evidence of IO’s unethical experimentation agenda.

Worth focusing here is, unsurprisingly, the uneasy new alliance between Grifter and Backlash who had no choice but to set aside their differences to survive and somehow bring down Bloodmoon deep within the turf of the Kindred. You will get a glimpse as to how they used to work during their time with Team 7 and how they could pull off tough achievements with their modern-day abilities and technology. The dynamics between the two former Team 7 teammates is a must-see and there are indeed 1980s Hollywood action film vibes embedded within.

Not to be outdone is John Lynch whose super-human potential gets unleashed while being in the middle of a very desperate situation facing three deadly enemies at once. Lynch here gets more of the spotlight and he does something else apart from serving as a convenient tool for exposition about IO and its past.  

Conclusion

As the plot moved closer to concluding, The Kindred #3 (1994) had the stakes raised a lot for the former Team 7 members involved as well as IO’s current people. The big reveal that happened late in the comic book was pretty powerful and it will encourage readers to focus more on the past operations of IO as well as Team 7. At this stage in the publishing history of Image Comics, WildStorm’s para-military concepts got solidified more effectively setting the stage for the launch of the original Team 7 mini-series. As for The Kindred mini-series, the engagement and entertainment value of issue #3 convinced me to go on to issue #4.

Overall, The Kindred #3 (1994) is recommended.

His origin and how the Kindred was established are linked to the high-stakes experiments IO conducted on animals on Caballito (this makes IO’s top-secret experimentation on humans to unlock super-human potential literally just the tip of the iceberg). The way Bloodmoon was portrayed here, he is convinced that he exists with an undeniable purpose to lead the Kindred while getting striking back at humanity for vengeance starting with IO and former Team 7 members. The tragic events of the past made him a very hardened character and the living and walking evidence of IO’s unethical experimentation agenda.

Worth focusing here is, unsurprisingly, the uneasy new alliance between Grifter and Backlash who had no choice but to set aside their differences to survive and somehow bring down Bloodmoon deep within the turf of the Kindred. You will get a glimpse as to how they used to work during their time with Team 7 and how they could pull off tough achievements with their modern-day abilities and technology. The dynamics between the two former Team 7 teammates is a must-see and there are indeed 1980s Hollywood action film vibes embedded within.

Not to be outdone is John Lynch whose super-human potential gets unleashed while being in the middle of a very desperate situation facing three deadly enemies at once. Lynch here gets more of the spotlight and he does something else apart from serving as a convenient tool for exposition about IO and its past.  

Conclusion

As the plot moved closer to concluding, The Kindred #3 (1994) had the stakes raised a lot for the former Team 7 members involved as well as IO’s current people. The big reveal that happened late in the comic book was pretty powerful and it will encourage readers to focus more on the past operations of IO as well as Team 7. At this stage in the publishing history of Image Comics, WildStorm’s para-military concepts got solidified more effectively setting the stage for the launch of the original Team 7 mini-series. As for The Kindred mini-series, the engagement and entertainment value of issue #3 convinced me to go on to issue #4.

Overall, The Kindred #3 (1994) is recommended.

A Look Back at The Kindred #3 (1994)

Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the mid-1990s to examine one of the many tales of the WildStorm universe through The Kindred mini-series.

Having read the first two issues, I can say that the plot has been built-up into something that justifies not only the reuniting of former Team 7 teammates Grifter and Backlash (who hate each other) but also the consequences caused by IO’s (International Operations) a long time prior. So far the creative team of WildStorm father Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and artist Brett Booth succeeded in telling an entertaining story with a balance on action, suspense and intrigue.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at The Kindred #3, published by Image Comics in 1994 with a story written by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth. Booth illustrated the comic book.  

Early story

The story begins with John Lynch being helpless in front of Bloodmoon, the vicious leader of the Kindred. Lynch tells him that he has no recollection of him, the Kindred and the crimes he has been accused of. Regardless, Lynch is being prepared for the trial under the Kindred’s system of justice.

Bloodmoon learns from one of his pawns that they captured the three men who were sent to rescue the prisoners. Two of the captured were sensed to have the Kindred’s blood within them. Bloodmoon then orders to have them brought to him immediately.

Minutes later, Grifter and Backlash – both battered and worn down – were brought to Bloodmoon.

Quality

Following the events of issue #2, there is a huge pay-off in this comic book and it added more depth into the plot.
