Stormwatch is a series initially released in 1993 under Wildstorm, the imprint containing the creations of the renowned Jim Lee and other creators including Hank Kanalz and Ben Abernathy. Eventually, DC absorbed Wildstorm as Jim Lee became a Co-Publisher and, with the advent of the New 52, Wildstorm’s characters found new footing in several “Edge” titles. One of these series is known as Stormwatch and focuses on an ancient organization that has safeguarded Earth against external threats of all kinds from demons to aliens. I didn’t have any interest in Stormwatch when it was relaunched with the rest of The New 52, but given that positive word of mouth, coupled with Paul Cornell of Demon Knights fame as its writer, compelled me to check out the first volume.
