  2. A Look Back at Team 7 #3 (1994)

    Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1995 to take a close look at one of the many tales of the original WildStorm universe through one of the comic books of the first mini-series of Team 7.

    For the newcomers reading this, Team 7 is set in the past within the original WildStorm universe. This is the special forces team that had major WildStorm heroes – Grifter (WildCATS: Covert Action Teams), Backlash, Jackson Dane (Wetworks), John Lynch (Gen13) and Michael Cray (Deathblow) – who were younger, were proficient with combat and gained special abilities as a result of a sinister move by their superiors. Issue #2 took place after the team got exposed to something they never anticipated and their superiors knew it.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at Team 7 #3, published in 1994 by Image Comics with a story written by Chuck Dixon and drawn by Aron Wiesenfeld. This is the 3rd chapter of a 4-issue mini-series.

    The cover.

    Early story

    Set in the 1970s, the surviving Team 7 members (already exposed to the chemical agent) are in the middle of a new mission somewhere in East Africa. Because their teammate Johnson abused his new power to manipulate a black general to kill himself against his own will, Cole Cash eliminates Johnson causing John Lynch to be outraged. Cash tells Lynch that Johnson lost himself completely. He also tells him to list Johnson as MIA (missing-in-action) and turn a blind eye as before.

    Lynch points his gun at Cash’s head believing he is standing for the mission and rules. After Cash tells him that they are monsters and that the world is better off without them, Lynch relents and shoots the wall instead. The mission concludes and Team 7 goes home by helicopter.

    As the ride goes on, John Lynch thinks very deeply about everything that happened since they got exposed to the chemical agent. He realizes that they were exposed to genetic altering elements and wonders if he and his teammates were nothing more than lab rats for International Operations (IO)…

    Quality

    John Lynch in the presence of his traitorous superiors following the East African operation.

    If there is anything notable here apart from the continued dark and gritty tone, the plot really thickened clearly. At this stage, it is more obvious that the superiors have indeed something more sinister planned for Team 7 to endure. They know that the infected team members are closing ranks to protect itself which means they are ready for the so-called final test.

    Along the way, John Lynch gradually realizes the evil of his superiors and being the field leader, he begins to analyze what is best for him and his teammates and which options to take knowing the betrayal from above. Quitting is simply not an option for Lynch and the pressure builds up as the story went on. Cole Cash here sees things very clearly and he easily became the pathfinder among Team 7 members. When he scolds his teammate Fairchild (father of Gen13’s Caitlin Fairchild) for abusing his power in a public place while off-duty, it is clear that Cash wants to keep the team together by means of keeping together while maintaining sanity.

    As for Team 7 itself, there is something intriguing that awaits readers once they start their new mission here. I won’t spoil it and it has to be seen. Simply grab a copy of this comic book, read it and pay attention to the details. It’s strong stuff from the creative team.

    Conclusion

    Cole Cash (Grifter) talks sense into John Lynch about what has really been going on and why they have become monsters.

    Team 7 #3 (1994) has a lot of intrigue as the plot thickened. At this stage, it is clear that IO is really up to no good and Team 7 is symbolically their scientific and military experiment. Fortunately for the team, they have John Lynch and Cole Cash as the reasonable members who are able to cut through the noise and became aware of what IO has been executing. The stage is set for the concluding issue and this comic book is indeed a solid build-up and also an engaging WildStorm read.

    Overall, Team 7 #3 (1994) is recommended.

  10. A primeros de agosto el genio John Carpenter, de 78 años, lanzará de seguido un cómic y un disco que hizo a la vez, dos proyectos que se acompañan y se retroalimentan.

    El tono de Cathedral será, por supuesto, dramáticamente oscuro, y para muestra el sencillo introductorio, Lord of the Underground, que adapta en sus visuales la novela gracias al hacer de Antwan R. Johnson, y, cuya mayor sorpresa es calzar a las atmósferas arquetípicas de Carpenter guitarras que bordean el metal, seguro que gracias a la colaboración de sus músicos de confianza, Daniel Davies y Cody Carpenter (su retoño).

    Nada de asustarse: el resultado es mucho más asequible de lo que parece. Hay en el tema una esencia de single de grupos góticos centroeuropeos de los que aparecen en las playlists importantes, no tanto de los que tocan en salas. De hecho, en Mayhem tampoco habría desentonado.

    Lo destacable es que exista, que traiga un nuevo Carpenter siendo tan evidente la raíz del clásico y que converse con una obra en otro formato, cuya idea, de ambas, proviene de un sueño de su autor. Yo lo llamaría pesadilla. Tan primordiales son los POV.

  13. A Fúria das Feras Atômicas

    A Fúria das Feras Atômicas
    (The Food of the Gods)

    SINOPSE:
    O jogador de futebol Morgan viaja para uma ilha remota no Canadá para uma caçada, mas logo descobre que o local esconde um segredo terrível. Uma substância misteriosa que brota do solo, apelidada de “alimento dos deuses”, transformou a fauna local em monstros gigantescos. Vespas do tamanho de urubus, galinhas de dois metros e, principalmente, uma horda de ratos colossais e inteligentes passam a caçar os humanos. Encurralados em uma fazenda, o grupo precisa lutar pela sobrevivência antes que sejam devorados pela nova hierarquia da natureza.

    Informações técnicas:
    DIREÇÃO: Bert I. Gordon
    ROTEIRO: Bert I. Gordon (baseado na obra de H.G. Wells)
    ELENCO: Marjoe Gortner (Morgan), Pamela Franklin (Lorna), Ralph Meeker (Bensington), Ida Lupino (Sra. Skinner).
    PAÍS/ANO DE PRODUÇÃO: EUA/Canadá, 1976
    GÊNERO: Terror / Criaturas / Ficção Científica
    DURAÇÃO: 88min
    DISTRIBUIÇÃO: Globo Vídeo (Antigo VHS) / Darkflix (Streaming)

    Onde ver: Disponível para assinantes da plataforma Darkflix (legendado) ou gratuitamente na plataforma Plex (apenas em inglês).

    Cotação: 7 de 10

    Opinião:
    A Fúria das Feras Atômicas é um clássico absoluto do cinema de criaturas que marcou a infância de muita gente nas exibições da TV aberta. Bert I. Gordon utiliza aqui todas as suas técnicas de sobreposição e miniaturas para criar os ratos gigantes, o que confere ao filme um charme nostálgico imbatível. Embora hoje os efeitos pareçam datados, a agressividade das cenas — especialmente os ataques dos ratos à casa e ao trailer — ainda consegue passar uma sensação de perigo real e desconforto.

    O elenco conta com nomes de peso, como a lendária Ida Lupino e Ralph Meeker, que interpreta o empresário ganancioso que tenta lucrar com a substância mesmo em meio ao caos, um arquétipo clássico desses filmes. A trama segue um ritmo de cerco claustrofóbico na segunda metade, lembrando um pouco a estrutura de A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos, mas trocando os zumbis por roedores famintos. O final é um dos pontos altos, trazendo uma conclusão pessimista e irônica que sugere que o “progresso” humano está fadado a ser consumido pelos seus próprios erros.

    Lançado no Brasil pela Globo Vídeo em VHS, o filme é um item essencial para colecionadores e amantes do terror vintage. É uma produção que não pede desculpas por sua premissa absurda e entrega exatamente o que promete: animais gigantes espalhando o terror. Se você gosta de ver a natureza fora de controle e aprecia o esforço dos efeitos pré-computação gráfica, este filme é uma parada obrigatória. Um entretenimento sólido e visceral que continua sendo um dos melhores exemplos de seu subgênero.

  24. The Rainbow Warrior Affair
    #Nuclear #Power, State #Secrecy, and the Slow Machinery of #Truth

    On the night of July 10, 1985, the #harbor of #Auckland, New Zealand, looked calm. The water reflected the city lights. Crew members aboard the #Greenpeace ship #Rainbow Warrior were asleep after a long day of preparations. Nothing suggested that a Western #democracy was about to launch a covert #military #operation against a civilian vessel.

    Then the #explosions came.

    Within minutes, the #ship sank into the dark harbor water. One man died: photographer Fernando #Pereira. What initially looked like #sabotage soon evolved into one of the most revealing #intelligence #scandals of the Cold #War.

    The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was not only an #attack on a ship. It was an attack on visibility itself. Greenpeace wanted to bring cameras, journalists, and public attention to French nuclear testing in the #Pacific. #France wanted silence.

    The #conflict between those two goals shaped everything that followed.

    The Nuclear #Logic of the Cold War
    To understand act of #terrorism, one must first understand the political #psychology of nuclear powers during the Cold War.

    After the United States used atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, nuclear weapons became symbols of strategic prestige and geopolitical survival. Possessing the bomb meant entering an exclusive club of global influence. France joined that club in 1960 under President Charles de Gaulle.

    For French political elites, nuclear independence was not merely military policy. It became part of national identity. France viewed its nuclear deterrent — the force de frappe — as proof that the country remained a sovereign world power independent from both #Washington and #Moscow.

    But nuclear #weapons require testing.

    France first conducted tests in colonial #Algeria. After Algerian independence in 1962, Paris moved its testing program to French #Polynesia, especially the #Mururoa and #Fangataufa #atolls in the Pacific #Ocean.

    To #Paris, these remote islands seemed strategically ideal.

    To environmental activists, they became symbols of colonial #arrogance and ecological #violence.

    Greenpeace emerged directly from this historical moment. Founded in #Vancouver in 1971, the #organization pioneered a new form of political #activism: media-centered confrontation. Instead of fighting states militarily, Greenpeace used images, ships, and public spectacle. Activists understood that modern #politics increasingly depended on #television and emotional #symbolism.

    In this sense, the Rainbow Warrior was more than a ship. It was a floating camera and cameras threaten secrecy.

    Why France Saw Greenpeace as a Strategic #Threat
    By 1985, Greenpeace planned to protest French nuclear testing directly at Mururoa Atoll. The Rainbow Warrior was expected to transport activists and assist Pacific #island communities opposing the tests.

    French intelligence services feared international humiliation.

    This fear is important. Governments rarely conduct covert operations because they are physically weak. They do so because they fear symbolic weakness. Nuclear powers depend heavily on credibility, prestige, and deterrence. In the logic of Cold War #geopolitics, allowing activists to disrupt military testing risked projecting vulnerability.

    The French external intelligence service, the #DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), therefore received orders to neutralize the ship.

    The operation was given the #codename Opération Satanique.

    The name itself reveals the strange theatricality often surrounding covert operations. Intelligence agencies frequently cloak violence in bureaucratic language, technical terminology, or symbolic code names. Such language creates psychological distance between planners and consequences.

    It transforms people into “targets.” Ships into “objectives.” Deaths into “collateral effects.”

    The Architecture of a Covert Operation
    The attack on the Rainbow Warrior was sophisticated but not flawless.

    French agents entered New Zealand under false identities. Combat divers secretly attached limpet mines to the hull of the ship while undercover operatives monitored the harbor area. Another agent, Christine #Cabon, infiltrated Greenpeace itself months before the bombing. Posing as a volunteer, she gathered internal information and transmitted it to Paris.

    The operation reveals four classic mechanisms of covert state power:

    1. #Infiltration
    Intelligence agencies often penetrate organizations by exploiting openness and trust. Greenpeace depended heavily on volunteers. That #vulnerability allowed Cabon to enter the group with relative ease.

    The strategy resembles modern #cyberwarfare. Instead of hacking computers, intelligence services inserted a human being into the system.

    2. Plausible Deniability
    Operations are designed so political leaders can deny direct involvement. Orders are often transmitted orally. Written evidence remains minimal.

    This structure creates distance between decision-makers and operational violence.

    In public, leaders appear uninvolved. In private, command chains remain understood.

    3. Controlled Narratives
    After the bombing, French officials denied responsibility. #Defense Minister Charles #Hernu publicly insisted that no French service had carried out the attack.

    The first official investigations minimized state involvement.

    Such reactions are common after intelligence scandals. Governments initially attempt to control information flow long enough to stabilize political damage. Historians repeatedly encounter this pattern across different countries and eras.

    4. Sacrificial Containment
    When #evidence becomes overwhelming, lower-ranking officials are often sacrificed to protect higher political #authority.

    In the Rainbow Warrior #affair, DGSE chief Pierre #Lacoste and Defense Minister Hernu lost their positions. President François #Mitterrand, however, remained politically untouched and won reelection in 1988.

    The structure resembles a firewall in computer systems: expendable layers absorb damage before it reaches the center.

    The #Mistake That #Broke the #Operation
    Despite careful planning, the operation failed because of an almost banal #error.

    Witnesses observed suspicious activity near a rented van and noted its license plate number. This small #observation enabled New Zealand investigators to identify two French operatives: Alain #Mafart and Dominique #Prieur.

    Their arrest transformed the bombing from #rumor into #international #crisis.

    New Zealand reacted with unusual determination. Prime Minister David Lange rejected French attempts to frame the affair as a regrettable misunderstanding. He insisted that state #terrorism had occurred on New Zealand soil.

    His response mattered historically because it challenged a powerful Western ally publicly and directly. Small states rarely confront nuclear powers successfully. New Zealand did.

    The Long Silence Around François Mitterrand
    The central mystery persisted for years:

    Did #President François Mitterrand personally #authorize the operation?

    For a long time, the answer remained hidden behind silence.

    Mitterrand refused detailed public discussion of the affair. This #silence itself became politically effective. Modern #media systems often reward emotional immediacy. But silence can outlast outrage. News cycles move on. Public attention fragments.

    Mitterrand understood this dynamic well. He remained silent until his death.

    Only years later did former DGSE director Pierre Lacoste reveal critical details in his memoir Un Amiral au Secret. Lacoste stated that he had received presidential approval for the operation during a meeting with Mitterrand in May 1985.

    This delayed revelation illustrates a central challenge in intelligence history:

    Truth often emerges only after institutions lose control over memory.

    Retired officials write memoirs. Classified archives slowly open. Participants age. Political loyalties weaken.

    #History is frequently reconstructed backward, fragment by fragment, like archaeologists rebuilding a shattered statue from scattered pieces.

    Fernando Pereira and the Politics of #Witnessing
    At the #moral center of the story stands Fernando Pereira.

    His #death transformed the operation from sabotage into #tragedy.

    Pereira returned below deck to recover his photographic equipment after the first explosion. In doing so, he demonstrated a principle central to both journalism and activism: evidence matters.

    Without documentation, suffering becomes abstract. Without images, distant violence remains politically invisible.

    This explains why authoritarian systems and covert operations so often target journalists, photographers, and witnesses. Cameras challenge monopoly over #narrative.

    The Rainbow Warrior affair therefore was never simply about one ship. It was about who controls #reality in the public #imagination.

    Greenpeace sought exposure. The French state sought containment.

    One side used cameras. The other used #explosives.

    Why the Affair Still Matters
    The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior remains historically significant because it exposed uncomfortable truths about democratic governments and covert violence.

    The affair demonstrated that even liberal democracies can authorize illegal operations when strategic interests feel threatened. It revealed how intelligence agencies rely on secrecy, infiltration, deniability, and narrative management. It also showed how difficult accountability becomes once national #security enters political discourse.

    Most importantly, the case demonstrated that truth emerges slowly.

    Not in dramatic cinematic revelations. Not through a single leaked document. But through decades of persistence by investigators, journalists, historians, witnesses, and former participants.

    The Rainbow Warrior sank in #Auckland Harbor in 1985. But the deeper story surfaced much later.

Nothing suggested that a Western #democracy was about to launch a covert #military #operation against a civilian vessel.

    Then the #explosions came.

    Within minutes, the #ship sank into the dark harbor water. One man died: photographer Fernando #Pereira. What initially looked like #sabotage soon evolved into one of the most revealing #intelligence #scandals of the Cold #War.

    The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was not only an #attack on a ship. It was an attack on visibility itself. Greenpeace wanted to bring cameras, journalists, and public attention to French nuclear testing in the #Pacific. #France wanted silence.

    The #conflict between those two goals shaped everything that followed.

    The Nuclear #Logic of the Cold War
    To understand act of #terrorism, one must first understand the political #psychology of nuclear powers during the Cold War.

    After the United States used atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, nuclear weapons became symbols of strategic prestige and geopolitical survival. Possessing the bomb meant entering an exclusive club of global influence. France joined that club in 1960 under President Charles de Gaulle.

    For French political elites, nuclear independence was not merely military policy. It became part of national identity. France viewed its nuclear deterrent — the force de frappe — as proof that the country remained a sovereign world power independent from both #Washington and #Moscow.

    But nuclear #weapons require testing.

    France first conducted tests in colonial #Algeria. After Algerian independence in 1962, Paris moved its testing program to French #Polynesia, especially the #Mururoa and #Fangataufa #atolls in the Pacific #Ocean.

    To #Paris, these remote islands seemed strategically ideal.

    To environmental activists, they became symbols of colonial #arrogance and ecological #violence.

    Greenpeace emerged directly from this historical moment. Founded in #Vancouver in 1971, the #organization pioneered a new form of political #activism: media-centered confrontation. Instead of fighting states militarily, Greenpeace used images, ships, and public spectacle. Activists understood that modern #politics increasingly depended on #television and emotional #symbolism.

    In this sense, the Rainbow Warrior was more than a ship. It was a floating camera and cameras threaten secrecy.

    Why France Saw Greenpeace as a Strategic #Threat
    By 1985, Greenpeace planned to protest French nuclear testing directly at Mururoa Atoll. The Rainbow Warrior was expected to transport activists and assist Pacific #island communities opposing the tests.

    French intelligence services feared international humiliation.

    This fear is important. Governments rarely conduct covert operations because they are physically weak. They do so because they fear symbolic weakness. Nuclear powers depend heavily on credibility, prestige, and deterrence. In the logic of Cold War #geopolitics, allowing activists to disrupt military testing risked projecting vulnerability.

    The French external intelligence service, the #DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), therefore received orders to neutralize the ship.

    The operation was given the #codename Opération Satanique.

    The name itself reveals the strange theatricality often surrounding covert operations. Intelligence agencies frequently cloak violence in bureaucratic language, technical terminology, or symbolic code names. Such language creates psychological distance between planners and consequences.

    It transforms people into “targets.” Ships into “objectives.” Deaths into “collateral effects.”

    The Architecture of a Covert Operation
    The attack on the Rainbow Warrior was sophisticated but not flawless.

    French agents entered New Zealand under false identities. Combat divers secretly attached limpet mines to the hull of the ship while undercover operatives monitored the harbor area. Another agent, Christine #Cabon, infiltrated Greenpeace itself months before the bombing. Posing as a volunteer, she gathered internal information and transmitted it to Paris.

    The operation reveals four classic mechanisms of covert state power:

    1. #Infiltration
    Intelligence agencies often penetrate organizations by exploiting openness and trust. Greenpeace depended heavily on volunteers. That #vulnerability allowed Cabon to enter the group with relative ease.

    The strategy resembles modern #cyberwarfare. Instead of hacking computers, intelligence services inserted a human being into the system.

    2. Plausible Deniability
    Operations are designed so political leaders can deny direct involvement. Orders are often transmitted orally. Written evidence remains minimal.

    This structure creates distance between decision-makers and operational violence.

    In public, leaders appear uninvolved. In private, command chains remain understood.

    3. Controlled Narratives
    After the bombing, French officials denied responsibility. #Defense Minister Charles #Hernu publicly insisted that no French service had carried out the attack.

    The first official investigations minimized state involvement.

    Such reactions are common after intelligence scandals. Governments initially attempt to control information flow long enough to stabilize political damage. Historians repeatedly encounter this pattern across different countries and eras.

    4. Sacrificial Containment
    When #evidence becomes overwhelming, lower-ranking officials are often sacrificed to protect higher political #authority.

    In the Rainbow Warrior #affair, DGSE chief Pierre #Lacoste and Defense Minister Hernu lost their positions. President François #Mitterrand, however, remained politically untouched and won reelection in 1988.

    The structure resembles a firewall in computer systems: expendable layers absorb damage before it reaches the center.

    The #Mistake That #Broke the #Operation
    Despite careful planning, the operation failed because of an almost banal #error.

    Witnesses observed suspicious activity near a rented van and noted its license plate number. This small #observation enabled New Zealand investigators to identify two French operatives: Alain #Mafart and Dominique #Prieur.

    Their arrest transformed the bombing from #rumor into #international #crisis.

    New Zealand reacted with unusual determination. Prime Minister David Lange rejected French attempts to frame the affair as a regrettable misunderstanding. He insisted that state #terrorism had occurred on New Zealand soil.

    His response mattered historically because it challenged a powerful Western ally publicly and directly. Small states rarely confront nuclear powers successfully. New Zealand did.

    The Long Silence Around François Mitterrand
    The central mystery persisted for years:

    Did #President François Mitterrand personally #authorize the operation?

    For a long time, the answer remained hidden behind silence.

    Mitterrand refused detailed public discussion of the affair. This #silence itself became politically effective. Modern #media systems often reward emotional immediacy. But silence can outlast outrage. News cycles move on. Public attention fragments.

    Mitterrand understood this dynamic well. He remained silent until his death.

    Only years later did former DGSE director Pierre Lacoste reveal critical details in his memoir Un Amiral au Secret. Lacoste stated that he had received presidential approval for the operation during a meeting with Mitterrand in May 1985.

    This delayed revelation illustrates a central challenge in intelligence history:

    Truth often emerges only after institutions lose control over memory.

    Retired officials write memoirs. Classified archives slowly open. Participants age. Political loyalties weaken.

    #History is frequently reconstructed backward, fragment by fragment, like archaeologists rebuilding a shattered statue from scattered pieces.

    Fernando Pereira and the Politics of #Witnessing
    At the #moral center of the story stands Fernando Pereira.

    His #death transformed the operation from sabotage into #tragedy.

    Pereira returned below deck to recover his photographic equipment after the first explosion. In doing so, he demonstrated a principle central to both journalism and activism: evidence matters.

    Without documentation, suffering becomes abstract. Without images, distant violence remains politically invisible.

    This explains why authoritarian systems and covert operations so often target journalists, photographers, and witnesses. Cameras challenge monopoly over #narrative.

    The Rainbow Warrior affair therefore was never simply about one ship. It was about who controls #reality in the public #imagination.

    Greenpeace sought exposure. The French state sought containment.

    One side used cameras. The other used #explosives.

    Why the Affair Still Matters
    The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior remains historically significant because it exposed uncomfortable truths about democratic governments and covert violence.

    The affair demonstrated that even liberal democracies can authorize illegal operations when strategic interests feel threatened. It revealed how intelligence agencies rely on secrecy, infiltration, deniability, and narrative management. It also showed how difficult accountability becomes once national #security enters political discourse.

    Most importantly, the case demonstrated that truth emerges slowly.

    Not in dramatic cinematic revelations. Not through a single leaked document. But through decades of persistence by investigators, journalists, historians, witnesses, and former participants.

    The Rainbow Warrior sank in #Auckland Harbor in 1985. But the deeper story surfaced much later.
