A lot of planning goes into comic book events, with creators often spending years plotting the stories and figuring out just how many different characters need to be included. Few of these events, however, have been in the works quite as long as Marvel’s upcoming Reckoning War. Writer Dan Slott is bringing chaos to his Fantastic Four run with Fantastic Four: Reckoning War Alpha #1, a kickoff to an event that he has quite literally been planning and writing for the last 17 years. The first seeds for the Reckoning War were planted in the third issue of Slott’s She-Hulk run, and the writer has been continuing to plant them in almost every series he has worked on since. The plan is finally coming to fruition in the Fantastic Four and Reckoning War is off to a decent start here.

Reckoning War Alpha #1, written by Slott and illustrated by Carlos Pacheco, Rafael Fonteriz, and Carlos Magno, sets the stage for the event, gathering all of the players and offering readers the pitch. The long and short of the story is that the Watchers (a group of characters that are relentlessly difficult to make compelling) didn’t always have a vow not to interfere with life in the universe. They originally tried to foster growth and evolution, only for the first civilization they helped to use Watcher technology for destructive purposes. This group, which comes to be known as the Reckoning, was walled off into their own corner of the universe by the Watchers, where they were left to die. Spoiler alert: They didn’t.

The Reckoning return with a vengeance and their master plan begins with the destruction of the actual moon, likely killing Uatu and sending the world into absolute chaos. This is how the First Family and other important characters get involved. It should come as no surprise that both She-Hulk and Spider-Man are set up for pretty significant roles. The Fantastic Four, however, are the most important to the story, with Reed developing an exciting (and terrifying) connection to the Watchers in the third act. 

So much of what has happened throughout Slott’s run on Fantastic Four to this point seems like it is going to have significant importance in Reckoning War, making it a great payoff to what has been a good overall series. That said, Reckoning War has a lot going on. The story the Watchers and the Reckoning alone is a lot to process, then 39 issues of Fantastic Four are being added to the mix, alongside a She-Hulk story from nearly two decades ago. Then toss in a confusing side plot with Silver Surfer, just for good measure.

Reckoning War Alpha #1 is a solid comic book, and utilizing multiple art styles feels necessary when juggling the different stories. In spite of that quality, the issue has moments where Reckoning War already starts to feel like a bit of a chore. The first issue does a good job with the narrative balancing act, keeping you invested from page to page. The key to a great event kickoff book, though, is its ability to excite you about what’s to come, to get you hooked into the promise of an epic tale. Reckoning War‘s debut issue doesn’t fully accomplish that. 

Perhaps 17 years of planning one event is a little too much time. It’s clear that Slott is passionate about the tale, and that offers reason to be excited about what’s to come. But almost two decades of teasing and clue-dropping might have piled too much on the plate. The challenge now is going to be incorporating all of the various threads and finding a way for them to matter without getting bogged down by exposition, callbacks, and needless details. Reckoning War Alpha offers reason to believe either outcome could be true.

There’s a good chance you’re familiar with Frankenstein’s monster. But have you heard about his garden?

Around the time the scientist who inspired Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein was busy electrocuting live animals and dead prisoners, several of his contemporaries were doing the same to perennials and root vegetables. And just as these 18th Century forays into electrical stimulation purported to make the human body more robust (by delivering it from maladies ranging from paralysis and depression to diarrhoea and venereal disease), they were also being investigated for the betterment of plant life. Experiments on electrified gardens were alleged to produce a range of benefits, from brighter flowers to tastier fruit. Before long, this pursuit went the way of its cousin, medical electro-quackery, and by the end of the 19th Century, respectable science had largely jettisoned both.

More than a century on, better tools and new insights are reanimating the study of electricity’s effects on biology. Uninformed early animal experiments have resolved over the past 200 years into real understanding – and led to promising electrical medicine. Similarly, the old vegetable experiments are being exhumed to see what modern fruit they may yield. Maybe the new understanding could even improve 21st Century gardens.

The first hints that electric shocks might have a dramatic impact on crops came not from any human intervention but from nature itself. After a lightning storm, according to longstanding Japanese farming lore, mushrooms would proliferate madly.

But you couldn’t exactly call down lightning on demand to confirm this experimentally. Until, that is, the 1740s when various new devices allowed scientists to store and deploy this still-mysterious phenomena of “electricity” at will for the first time. 

Soon deploying electricity as a gardening aid became a hot topic. Pierre Bertholon de Saint-Lazare – a French physicist and philosopher who experimented widely on the still poorly understood mysteries of electricity – curated many of his contemporaries’ plant experiments into a collection, De L’électricité des Végétaux.

Alongside the brighter blossoms, flowers were alleged to bloom earlier after electrification; similarly, electrifying fruit reportedly hastened the ripeness of their smell and taste. But Bertholon’s main focus was on the new device he had invented: instead of zapping individual fruits and vegetables one by one, the huge contraption could infuse electricity into entire garden plots. It electrified the very soil and air that nurtured the growing plants – as if it was an electrical “manure”.

The electro-vegeto-meter

The elevated system of masts and wiring Bertholon had rigged up collected atmospheric electricity, drew it down, and distributed it into his crops. According to him, it mimicked the stimulating effects of lightning. Only it did the job better than the natural variety, dispensing small, continuous amounts of electricity rather than dosing with a single, damaging strike. The “electro-vegeto-meter”, he reported, increased the growth of the plants beneath its arc, accelerating “the germination, the growth, and production of leaves, flowers, fruit, and their multiplication”.

Bertholon also made copious use of electricity in other forms, reportedly dispatching insect pests by using a rudimentary tool to zap an infested tree. His contemporaries had many other colourful uses for electricity in their gardens – one set out plans to irrigate his plants with a special water that he claimed, rather dubiously, had been “impregnated with electrical fluid” to replace traditional approaches to fertiliser.

Not everyone was convinced. Things went badly after Jan Ingenhousz, the Dutch-British physiologist who discovered photosynthesis, availed himself of an electro-vegeto-meter of his own to use on his garden – and it promptly shrivelled up all his plants. He concluded that Bertholon’s electrical manure was, well, manure.

Interest in electroculture waned. A few private gentleman scientist types continued to run small experiments: in the 1830s, one  claimed his experiments demonstrated that plants are excellent conductors, implying that electricity was a fundamental aspect of their biology. But neither the science nor tools were sufficiently advanced to support such claims. After that, apart from a few niche projects, the idea of electroculture swiftly fell out of favour among the electrorati.

“We cannot avoid asking ourselves,” wrote two critics in a plaintive 1918 paper, looking back on the fall of the events, “how it is that while the study of electricity and its many industrial applications has developed into enormous importance, electroculture in the meantime has remained practically stationary for a century and a half.” They concluded: “We probably find the answer in the stagnation of the science of the living plant.”

In other words, to improve electroculture you’d first have to understand how it might work, and to understand that, one would need to understand the electrical dimensions of plant biology. Luckily, by the time the duo voiced their complaint, the first slim shoots of exactly such an endeavour were already poking through the frost. Interest in vegetation and electricity had been reanimated by none other than Charles Darwin.

Darwin‘s carnivorous vegetables

His grandfather had been convinced that electricity could hasten the growth of plants – but Charles Darwin’s contention was built on more solid scientific ground. He believed electricity to be a fundamental aspect of plant physiology, the same way the neurophysiologists of the 19th Century were starting to show how electric signals are the fundamental underpinning of the human nervous system signals that let us to think and feel and move.

Darwin’s obsession had started small, with a single meat-eating plant in the genus Drosera, otherwise known as the sundews. Barely a year after the publication of On the Origin of the Species, it was all he could think about. “At the present moment, I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world,” he wrote in 1860. Little wonder. Drosera did everything plants aren’t supposed to – it ate meat, and it hunted. Its long, sticky tentacles trapped flies on glue-like secretions and then curled inexorably around the unfortunate prey until it was wrapped up like a macabre Swiss roll.

A Puerto Rico municipal bond paid by a private company will default on June 1, two rating agencies expect.

Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings have both predicted in reports issued in the past month that AES Puerto Rico L.P. will default on its cogeneration facility revenue 2000 Series A bonds payment due June 1. It has $144.7 million outstanding, according to Fitch.

The tax-exempt bonds were issued through the Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical & Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority.

Moody’s and Fitch both said AES PR’s financial situation has been negatively impacted by a law concerning the disposal of coal ash left over from the generation process. The law requires the ash to be shipped off the island, which has cost AES PR $28 million per year. Fitch projects the costs to continue at $22 million per year through 2027.

The electrical system’s comparatively high levels of power outages have also added costs to AES PR’s operations, the rating agencies said.

AES PR has asked PREPA to make several changes to its power purchase agreement that would provide immediate financial relief and possibly lead to long-term financial stability. Both agencies believe the requests would require multiple entities’ approval and that is unlikely before the June 1 bond payment.

“AES is trying to get more money out of PREPA, which seems like a tough angle to work right now,” Municipal Market Analytics’ Default Trends said on March 22.

In the case of a default Moody’s Vice President Kathrin Heitmann and three other analysts wrote, “Bondholders benefit from traditional project financing features, such as a security interest in all of AES PR’s rights, title and interest in the project, including contracts, revenue, personal property (although these would be released in the event of a PREPA buyout), a trustee administered waterfall of accounts, limitations on liens and indebtedness, sale of asset.”

The prospects for recovery in a default, they said, would be “moderate to high.”

AES PR owes $45 million on the bonds this year, about $48 million next year, about $48 million in 2025, and about $23 million in 2026, when the bond matures.

Moody’s rates the bonds Caa2 and Fitch rates them C.

The Puerto Rico Oversight Board declined to comment on AES PR or the rating agency predictions of default.

Moody’s rates AES Puerto Rico’s parent company AES Corp senior unsecured bonds at Baa3.

Fitch released its rating commentary Thursday and Moody’s released its credit opinion March 15.

AES Puerto Rico, a subsidiary of AES Corp., used the debt service reserves to make the December 2022 bond payment.

AES Corp. did not respond to a request for a comment.

AES PR operates a 454-megawatt coal-fired cogeneration facility in Guayama, Puerto Rico. It sells all its electricity to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, which is currently in bankruptcy. PREPA has continued to make its contractually required payments to AES PR.

In response to inquiries to the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, FAFAA said, “AES Puerto Rico is a private enterprise and as such, we cannot comment on matters related to their financial situation.

The Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical & Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority (AFICA) was a conduit issuer of the bonds, said Dennis Costa Pacheco, FAFAA director of public affairs and communications. “AFICA has no financial or disclosure obligations,” and there is”no recourse to AFICA or any other Puerto Rico government entity.”
