GRIFTER & MIDNIGHTER #1
Written by Chuck Dixon
Art by Ryan Benjamin & Saleem Crawford
Cover by Benjamin
Grifter and Midnighter - two of the WildStorm Universe’s titans - come together for a wild ride of a miniseries by Chuck Dixon (Nightwing, Detective Comics) and Ryan Benjamin (TEEN TITANS)! These heroes are desperate, burned out, hair-trigger bad boys who are down on their luck - and now they’re set on a collision course that will either save the planet or destroy it.

This is random and unexpected to me because to my knowledge these two have only met once before. In Captain Atom: Argmageddon, where Midnighter made fun of Grifter's name and then Apollo killed him. And what is up with the lack of Apollo? Are they slowly trying to write out the whole Midnighter/Apollo partnership, like they didn't work together for the entire first decade of there career. Are they gonna break them up as a couple too? Are they even still together? Various writers like to show them fighting in typical couple like ways but not one of them has bothered to show them getting over it.
Seriously, it's gotten to the point where I can make a list..
Two Dangerous Ideas - Midnighters all sulky because Pluto and Daylighter broke up, he's still thinking about it at the end.
Human on the Inside - They had a very big fight, Apollo even hit Midnighter pretty hard. Okay, they were under some sorta mood altering making gas or something but still, they'd never been violent towards each other before and the only way that's addressed in the whole book is one "look" panel near the end.
Authority: Revolution - They were seperated for five years, for reasons that later proved to be false. Midnighter apologised but there wasn't even one panel to show if they reconsiled or not.
Another thing leaning towards the 'trying to seperate them' thing is in Midnighter #1, Apollo is called Midnighters lover, even though they've been married for nearly a decade by now I think. It was a pretty tacky superhero wedding but it happened. Any other married superhero couple, a writer starts calling them lovers, people would be okay with this?
