Summary: Taking off in the year between the salvation of earth by the gundams from a meteor and that of the Marie Maia rebellion, Blind Target is basically the filler of what could have happened. The gundams are still completely intact, but their use has been reduced to nothing. Everyone is off, doing the things they should have been before the war of A.C 195 even happened. Quatre is in politics, Duo is a handy delivery man, Trowa is in the circus, and Wufei is training hard at a dojo. The only one who seems out of place is Heero- living his life just as it come along. But suddenly each of the pilots starts to get contacted by people that are asking about the gundams. An assasination attempt on Quatre is what makes all of them realize that this is more than a collection group.

My Thoughts: This actually is pretty hooking, even though you don't get everything that's going on. The story can obviously be pretty confusing, but the events in this issue ties in pretty well what happened in the one before. Quatre isn't dead, Relena is again protected by Heero, and the pilots get to meet up. We also find out about a spy and what they really want. And of course, the art keeps up with the story, so no hard feelings!

Bottom Line: Again, I give it about 4.5 out of 5. By now you're hooked, and really can't wait for the story to continue. It goes pretty fast, but makes sure to stop in places to make sure you get what is going on.
