COVER: Ayers / Black

MILESTONES: Sekhmet again takes possession, setting the stage for another incarnation

1st Story: Untitled (Femforce story)(19 pgs)

Credits:
Bill Black, story / layout / edits; Mark Heike, finishes; Tim Twonky, letters

Synopsis:
Tara is awakened by a scream from She-Cat's room and rushes over to help. The cat-demon Sekhmet has again begun to take possession of She-Cat, who is shakily recovering from a wrenching nightmare that saw her as both hunter and prey in a Sehkmet-transformed frenzy of bloodlust. Instead of accepting Tara's comfort, Cat turns on the jungle girl, hurting Tara deeply by accusing her of uselessness in her failure to find Janis Lawson after Jungle Island's corruption by the Shroud. Synn and Stardust break up the fight, but the damage is done, and Tara storms out. Brooding because in her heart she feels She-Cat is right, Tara reflects on her trip to Jungle Island with Jet-Girl immediately following the Shroud War. Arriving there, she was faced with two crises: the disappearance of Janis Lawson and the escape of the alien from the egg, which later consumed one of the Jungle Island employees. After getting the alien under control, the two heroines searched fruitlessly for Janis, who was reportedly last seen trying to reach the mainland in a small boat to get help. Back in the present, She-Cat's dream has become reality as she prowls the Orlando streets seeking prey. Just as she is about to pounce on a victim, she is magically halted by Nightveil, who plans to speak directly to Sekhmet.

Notes:
This is the last story that identifies She-Cat as Cass/Cleo Angora; after her bonding, she resumes her original identity of Jessica Hunt (though she is called White here and in earlier tales).... Ms. Victory appears only in She-Cat's nightmare.... Cat rejects Tara's assistance with more than her usual hostility and then regrets her actions.... In the flashback sequence, Tara is shown still wearing the dressing on the leg she broke during the Shroud Wars.... Tara's extreme environmentalist tendency to put animals over people at times displays itself in the shockingly callous attitude she shows toward Allan's being swallowed by the alien along with her effort to restrain Jet-Girl from harming it.... Tara's lament over her lack of super powers is short-lived, as she gains her growth abilities in her very next appearance (GGAQ 5).


2nd Story: Untitled (Blue Bulleteer story)(15 pgs)

Credits:
Mark Heike, story; Dick Ayers, pencils; Chad Hunt, inks; Walt Paisley, letters; Bill Black, edits / dialogue

Synopsis:
Lady Luger and Franz, the Nazi who is posing as the Black Commando, escape form the police after their failed attempt to rob Millicent Lichness's war bond party. They make their way into rural Virginia, where Col. Vogel, a Nazi sleeper agent, has set up a safehouse. Vogel has developed a powerful hypnotic transmitter with which he plans to immobilize America's cities one by one, leaving them ripe for Nazi conquest. Disregarding Luger's orders, Franz sends out a personal message to the Blue Bulleteer, challenging her to meet him in mortal battle on the White House lawn. Unknowingly however, he has inadvertently sent the signal to New York instead of Washington, and it is received and responded to by She-Cat. Meanwhile, the Blue Bulleteer is following up leads at the DC police station when word is received of the strange message to New York. That night, Franz has more than he bargained for as both She-Cat and the Bulleteer converge on the White House. and apprehend him. Luger and Vogel, having followed Franz to stop his foolish escapade, end up crash landing when they try to steal She-Cat's autogyro, which she neglected to refuel. The two heroines unmask the Black Commando, and Laura, to her great relief, clears Dan's name.

Notes:
She-Cat and the Blue Bulleteer already know each other, having met in the adventure that spawned the Femforce.... Laura's lament that she has no one to work with in her crimefighting career indicates that this adventure takes place between the group's unofficial first battle against Fungi and the official establishment of the team (see Introduction for more details).... Costumes: She-Cat is seen without the cuffed boots and high neck outfit she was known for in the war years.
