Average customer review:Product Description
Grifter, fast-shooting member of WildCats, and Midnighter, the deadliest member of The Authority, come together for a wild ride in this new tale by master action writer Chuck Dixon (NIGHTWING, DETECTIVE COMICS) with art by Ryan Benjamin (TEEN TITANS)!
These heroes are desperate, burned out, hair- trigger bad boys who are down on their luck. Now, they've been sent to Paris on the same assignment, but with different -- but equally deadly -- objectives. But what starts as a routine covert op quickly turns into an intergalactic bloodbath, where the only remaining objective is survival.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up–While many comics have recurring characters and long-ranging plotlines, sometimes the most satisfying reads are the stand-alone editions comprising one adventure. So it is with this one, a title with heavy violence and strong language. Featuring a healthy amount of alien attacks and other-dimension beings, it follows two (anti)heroes as they investigate intrusions into contemporary society. The best part of this title is the flippant, cool tone that the lead characters maintain. Nothing perturbs them, even giant reptilian space beasts choking them. A quip is always at the ready, and thus as difficult as the duo's lives become, readers still envy them. The artwork is high-grade and technically masterful, the usual pen and ink with computer enhancements.–John Leighton, Brooklyn Public Library, NY

Chaos on a stick
Since I'm a old school Grifter fan, and an former fan of the Authority and Stormwatch before, in my opinion, the series went down hill, I bought this book without any expectations in mind other than chaos, and possibly as a result, had some fun with it. It's a bizzare read, but some of the lines made me laugh, though I couldn't entirely agree with all of the things that happened, but in trying to make people happy with a crossover, you tend to see that in the industry.
