From Publishers Weekly

Smart, exciting and somewhat creepy, this latest version of the Wildcats saga shows the one-time super team installed at the pinnacle of corporate America. Alien android Spartan is now known as Jack Marlowe, CEO of huge Halo Corporation, which produces incredibly advanced electronics equipment. Marlowe insists his big, diverse acquisitions will give him even more power to help humanity. Unfortunately, he can't avoid conflict with scheming, violent enemies, so he needs to ally himself with thugs of his own. One is Agent Wax, who uses his hypnotic powers to have sex with his obnoxious boss's wife—the superhero equivalent of date rape. Another is Cole Cash (aka Grifter), a hardened mercenary now confined to a wheelchair, who recruits accountant Edwin Dolby to help in a high-tech combat op. Dolby doesn't want to hurt anyone; the question is whether he can do the job while keeping his morals intact. The more important question, of course, is what he really wants: to be a corporate money man or a masked warrior. Casey's shrewd use of morally ambiguous action keeps readers off balance. Friend does a splendid job inking Nguyen's fluid pencils, and Casey gives the artists plenty to work with, moving from executive office conferences to covert missions into enemy headquarters. Overall, the story is both fascinating and more than a little disturbing. It's easy to tell heroes from villains when they're in colorful costumes; it's a lot more difficult when they're all wearing business suits.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best post-superhero book ever, April 21, 2004
By A Customer
What Joe Casey & co. did with Wildcats Version 3.0: Brand Building, they continue here. Taking the old Wildstorm fixtures of Grifter and Spartan of the original Wildcats, the book has been transformed into one the most original and entertaining reads in comics.

Jack Marlowe (aka Spartan) and his Halo corporation have been revolutionizing the battery industry with their "batteries that last forever - gaurunteed." He sets his sights even higher, offering computers, car and cell phone batteries, gaining consumers' trust. However, with his batteries flying off the shelves, how will Jack respond when he stumbles upon an unknown - and very advantageous - ability of his car batteries?

Meanwhile, Cole Cash (aka Grifter) is still "adjusting" to his setbacks dealt to him at the end of "Brand Building." When C.C. Rendozzo comes calling to him for a favor, and he isn't up to the task, who will he get to fill in for him? Will Jack allow Cole's manipulations to play out?

And what kind of dangerous game is Wax playing with his boss at the National Park Service, the agency that moniters superhuman activity?

With a volatile mix of skewed morality, intense action, and corporate manuvering, Wildcats Version 3.0: Full Disclosure re-affirms why Joe Casey, Dustin Nguyen, and Richard Friend are a few of the most talented creators in comics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Graphic SF Reader, September 2, 2007
Spartan has reinvented himself and the Wildcats. With Grifter injured and an employee, he starts to build the Halo corporation into a world shaking force for good. He comes up with amazing invetions like dirt cheap batteries that never run down, and other sorts of thing that revolutionise whole industries.

It also focuses on the story of a couple of normal people he gets to work for him.
