I was writing up a piece about DC Comics's decision to publish the Stormwatch Compendium by Warren Ellis, Tom Raney and Bryan Hitch, as The Road To The Authority All ahead of a planned Authority movie sometime in the next decade With The Engineer appearing as a lackey to Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman[...]

And today's Stormwatch story in The Brave And The Bold #6 ends on a very indeterminate note on the Skywatch satellite. While in Unstoppable Doom Patrol #7, there is a minor mention, as the Candlestick Man crosses from one reality to another, using The Bleed introduced in Stormwatch and The Authority back in the day. So what[...]

This week sees the return of Stormwatch in Batman: The Brave And The Bold, in a story by Ed Brisson and Jeff Spokes The international operations agency originally run by a United Nations body, overseen from a satellite called Skywatch by its director, the Weatherman, Henry Bendix The series ran for a few years before[...]

The United Planets have seized control of the Green Lantern Corps and declared Earth as unsafe, with both Stormwatch and the Titans filling in for the Justice League… Six pages of Green Lantern #1 GREEN LANTERN #1 CVR A XERMANICO (W) Jeremy Adams, Phillip Kennedy Johnson (A) Xermanico, Montos (CA) Xermanico Spinning out of the events of Dark Crisis,[...]

as the leader of a new StormWatch satellite, a repurposed Justice League's former Watchtower When last we saw, the team consisted of Shado, Flint, Ravager, Peacekeeper -01, and the Ukrainian superhero, Core Might it play into whatever it is Bryan Hitch is doing with The Authority? He is doing one of the covers. Christopher Cantwell will[...]

Initially… While Angel Breaker wants training from the best and brightest of the DC Universe… and from Wildstorm as well.  And in tomorrow's Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special the proof is in the pudding…   We also talked about how Stormwatch, created by current DC Comics publisher Jim Lee of Wildstorm, would be finding new purpose at DC, time for[...]

In previous Wildstorm gossip, Bleeding Cool reported on the new makeup of the upcoming Stormwatch superhero team And that it would include Core – Pavlo Stupka, a new Ukrainian character. Originally launched by current DC Comics publisher Jim Lee, for his Wildstorm company when they were publishing through Image Comics back in March 1993, now bought by[...]

Stormwatch was created by current DC Comics publisher Jim Lee, for his Wildstorm company when they were publishing through Image Comics back in March 1993 Which means its 30th anniversary is coming up And with Wildstorm finding new purpose at DC Comics, it is time for a revival and reintegration into the DC Universe. A covert[...]

But when you add in the fact that Taylor is confirmed to be rereading Ellis' Stormwatch, it take on another meaning For those that don't know, the Century Babies are thought of as the Earth's immune system This characterizing the Earth and its issues as an living thing is consistent. I also have an alternate possiblity[...]

It's over 200 pages and will include many creators revisiting their classic work. Sean Philips – Sleeper Lee Bermejo – Deathblow Fiona Staples – Hawksmoor  Tom Raney – Stormwatch Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Richard Friend – Wildcats.  J Scott Campbell – Gen 13  Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch – Authority Brett Booth – Backlash  It will also include pin-ups such as a Planetary piece by[...]

As in Warren Ellis, the co-creator of Midnighter, from Stormwatch and then The Authority Okay, he may not look like Warren Ellis does… …but he does just seem to have "met" his maker So that's how the comic begins, does it continue in a sexual manner?That "spastic shots" mention might be something of concern to some but…[...]

You can feel guy scraping across the tarmac at speed, ripping himself up as he goes… yack! Stormwatch comes to an end… for now But give us some kind of limbo ending, confirming that they are still around, fighting all the alien invasions that never make it to Earth that we then never hear about[...]

We mentioned that Stormwatch looked like it will be coming to a close, what with giveaway Amazon listings and the like And now the final issue will be #30 in April, and will have art by the Harley Quinn #0 talent winning artist Jeremy Roberts What a way to go. It won't be the first time[...]

February solicitations are still rolling out, but Stormwatch Vol 4: Reset , 228 pages long takes in more issues that usual, issues 19 to 28 Often a sign that the game is up and there won't be a volume 5 to take the extra issues at the end. Are we to expect a FINAL ISSUE note[...]

Bleeding Cool understands that comic retailers have been asked to hold any copies of Stormwatch #24, Phantom Stranger #12 and Catwoman #23 Second Print (the one debuting Joker's Daughter) from going on sale this week. Apparently many retailers will not receive these comics this week but will only get them next week, so DC wants to[...]

Over on Twitter, Rob Liefeld is pointing out that in Stormwatch #20 we got a new Lobo origin from the venerable Jim Starlin and artist Yvel Guichet. Lots of Q's about Lobo Starlin did most recent Here's 1st page of his Lobo origin in Stormwatch 20 pic.twitter.com/hxMmOvTbJ4 — robertliefeld (@robertliefeld) August 24, 2013   So why is DC already[...]

Eliot Cole writes for Bleeding Cool I'm not a fan of this issue, it felt like an overly long exit for one of the key characters. I've spoken up about Stormwatch before on here, and I think that Issue 12 is where I jump off It's nothing to do with the exit either, nor the quality of[...]

In the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League, there is one scene that will stand throughout comics history. The time when Batman took down Guy Gardner Green

Eliot Cole reads Stormwatch  #9 by Peter Milligan and Miguel Sepulveda for Bleeding Cool; This issue of Stormwatch contains a lot of elements of what has made the current series really rather excellent, but seems to be missing it's heart I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it could be the lack of introspection all[...]

We've mentioned before how Stormwatch is meant to be one of the key books of the New DC 52 continuity It's the book where Pandora's identity and importance will be revealed, and it looks key to many other stories too From just one panel in Stormwatch #5. We know that Stormwatch is the future of the[...]

We'd already seen mention of the Wildstorm alien race, the shape-shifting Daemonites, in the Wildstorm-originated books Stormwatch, Grifter and Voodoo. But this week's DC Comics All Access editorial page states that the Daemonite influence will also extend to Demon Knights, which makes some sense as it's the prototype in the past for Stormwatch in the present,[...]

One international team that is doing well is Stormwatch, with sales of Stormwatch #1 going for $9.99 and $7.39 in two sales over the past week. As Rich reported last month, Batgirl #1 had hit a high of $6 but was coming back down There were three sales over the weekend for $5, but there were[...]

Yaaah! But it's all just rather clever. Stormwatch #3 Jack Hawksmoor always talked to cities Now he does so in a rather anthropomorphic fashion And they are all women Stormwatch has really come on since that horrible halfway house of a first issue The second and the third seem to fit far more with the potential[...]

Last month, Bleeding Cool ran a Swipe File, looking at the similarities between the Martian Manhunter creature of Stormwatch #1 and the Syfy movie Mongolian Death Worm. It looks like DC Comics may have taken it to heart Because here is the page, as seen in the second print of Stormwatch #1, out yesterday. I wonder if…[...]

On the left, the cover to the DVD of the Syfy movie, Mongolian Death Worm, which is about as good as it sounds. And the big splashy page from Stormwatch #1 drawn by Miguel Sepulveda. In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages,[...]

They've also done a review podcast which should be up around now… So, what do we have? Stormwatch #1 by Paul Cornell and Miguel Sepulveda. Possibly the most disappointing of the first week of titles A title steeped in Warren Ellis, and Micah Wright Stormwatch, this feels like the blandest possible reinterpretation of those comics[...]

Tell me what you think… From Flashpoint #5… "Splintered to weaken your world for their impending arrival…" From the Stormwatch #1 video trailer: "I am the scourge of worlds I am here to make your world stronger Through devastation You should be afraid." From Stormwatch writer Paul Cornell; "It's at the crux of a lot of things for where DC is[...]
