THE WILD STORM #1
Written by WARREN ELLIS • Art and cover by JON DAVIS-HUNT • Variant cover by TULA LOTAY • 1:50 variant by JIM LEE and SCOTT WILLIAMS • 1:100 pencils-only variant by JIM LEE
A troubled woman, barred by her employer from continuing her research, walks miserably through New York City. It takes her a moment to notice that everybody else is looking up. A man has been thrown from the upper floor of the Halo skyscraper.
And that woman—Angela Spica, sick from the transhuman implants she's buried in her own body—is the only person who can save him.
What she doesn't know is that the act of saving that one man will tip over a vast and secret house of cards that encloses the entire world, if not the inner solar system. This is how the Wild Storm begins, and it may destroy covert power structures, secret space programs and even all of human history.
New York Times best-selling writer Warren Ellis (TRANSMETROPOLITAN, RED, THE AUTHORITY) returns to DC to curate Jim Lee's WildStorm world, with this debut issue resetting the WildStorm universe with new iterations of Grifter, Voodoo, the Engineer, Jenny Sparks and others.
"I couldn't be more excited to see these characters that are so near and dear to me reintroduced under the guiding hand of Warren Ellis. WildStorm represents an incredibly fun and exciting period in my career, and I can't wait to see what Warren and Jon have in store for fans in February."—Jim Lee, DC Comics Co-Publisher

All Angela Spica did was save someone's life. And now hers is over. The rogue engineer lies bleeding in a place she hopes nobody will find – but she's wrong. The people embedded in the secret power structures of the world are tracking her. Skywatch. Halo. International Operations. A covert operative called Grifter. If only she hadn't unknowingly foiled an assassination planned by her boss. If only her boss wasn't the one person more interested in the Engineer's transhuman implants than in her life. It's all going very wrong, very quickly. There's going to be more blood.

fatemi un attimo capire: sarà quello che rebirth di johns è stato per la linea mainstream della dc o sarà una vera e propria nuova serie di ellis?
come si posiziona adesso l'universo wildstorm ? ma soprattutto che idee ha la dc per questa etichetta? personaggi annacquati nel mare magnum generale come i poveri guardiani di alan moore e crossover authority/justice league all'orizzonte, oppure rimarranno testate indipendenti con maggiori libertà?

in teoria dovrebbe rilanciare i personaggi dell'universo WS in un universo a sé stante, con maggior libertà, quindi

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di più ma so perfettamente che stanno "riavviando" un mondo nuovo e quindi per qualche numero dovrò portare pazienza.
La sensazione è che la vecchia Wildstorm rimarrà tale e questo sarà completamente qualcosa di diverso, lo si era capito dall'aspetto rinnovato di alcuni protagonisti ed è chiaro anche dalle prime pagine che ho letto.

Non ha propedeuticità. E' un reboot nel vero senso della parola, non un retcon alla Rebirth o un "reboot con i ma" alla New 52. Avviano proprio un universo nuovo con vecchie conoscenze che però da quello che lasciano dedurre avranno background diversi.

Lettering by Simon Bowland
Published by DC Comics
Review by Scott Cederlund
'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10
The Wild Storm is a Warren Ellis comic book, so that means it's full of spies and covert missions. It also means that there are hard men and hard women who scowl even as they're being very professional in their killings. The Wild Storm #1 unveils a world of secret organizations who are at war with one another, even as a couple of wildcards are introduced into the mix to disrupt the careful balance that exists between these organizations. Ellis and artist Jon Davis-Hunt provide a rebirth for Jim Lee's WildStorm universe on the occasion of its 25th anniversary that re-establishes it as a covert and morally ambiguous world that's on the cusp of something new.
Ellis's lean story eases into this reintroduction rather than providing any kind of big-bang revelations. He doesn't even show any covert action as the book opens mere moments after a woman code-named Zealot has completed a wetworks operation. It's an almost disappointing start to this reinvention of the Wildstorm Universe until you notice that Ellis and Davis-Hunt have snuck in an image of Zealot's target that is not quite right. It's almost too easy to just accept what you think you're seeing on the first page and miss the suggestion that there's something more to this world than just the spies and covert actions.
This restraint carries through the whole issue so that it feels as if not much happens in this issue, even as Ellis and Davis-Hunt massively disrupt the status quo of a world where they've barely established what is normal. As Ellis reimagines his Authority character the Engineer, Angie Spica ends up being the true wildcard in this issue, looking to save the world and overstepping the bounds of whatever the rules of engagement are between these shadowy organizations. Like so many of Ellis' comic books, The Wild Storm #1 is about finding new ways to save the world when the old ways prove to be just that - old and tired.
Ellis doesn't seem to give Davis-Hunt and colorist Ivan Plascencia much to do this issue than draw characters standing around and exchanging that patented Ellis dialogue. Since so much of this issue takes place in the moments after the action, Davis-Hunt and Plascencia's artwork establishes the normality of this world. This doesn't look like an old-fashioned Wildstorm comic book, with their larger than life characters and superheroic melodrama. This issue looks like it's about normal people trying to clean up the world and the artwork, like the writing, feels constrained by the pressures of this world that are already in motion.
But if this book is about finding those new ways to challenge the status quo, Davis-Hunt and Plascencia break out of their own constraints when Angela Spica, a mousy scientist, reveals her discover and/or curse, an exo-suit that tears through her to expose itself. In this moment, the creators of this book show the potential for change and the pain that change can bring. As so much of this issue is about covert action teams being all secretive and dangerous, Angela shows all new possibilities to both the readers and the characters in this comic. So set in their way, these secret organizations think the old ways are the only ways but Angela shows them that the limitations of their imaginations are not the limitations of the world.
In The Wild Storm #1, Warren Ellis and Jon Davis-Hunt declare that the future of Wildstorm begins now. As the issue opens with what is understandably another kill and another salvo in a war of secret organizations, it ends with the various sides of this war realizing that they're on the verge of something new and revolutionary. This issue itself isn't the revolution but it does hint at the future and it promises that our old ways of looking at the world will change just like the characters' views have to update with the changing times.

The Wild Storm #2
Written by Warren Ellis
Art by Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato
Lettering by Simon Bowland
Published by DC Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10
Warren Ellis' reinvention of the Wildstorm Universe has been a hit so far, but one issue does not a series make. In Issue #2, Ellis has to keep up the level of intrigue while maintaining the sense of urgency present in the first issue and open up the world even more. We're only just getting to know these characters, but Ellis has to keep pushing the narrative forward and he's already starting to get tripped up. While he was able to keep the cast small and focused in #1, quick expansion of the cast affects Ellis' work with certain characters. Jon Davis-Hunt's line art is still strong as ever, but Ivan Plascensia's muted colors are sorely, sorely missed in this issue, replaced by Steve Buccellato's more traditional approach.
Ellis has a lot on his plate, so it makes sense that there's a little drop off from the debut issue. The Engineer is still at the heart of the plot – she's what everyone is looking for since her rather explosive debut, and Ellis starts moving the chess pieces. Skywatch employs Zealot. Jacob Marlowe enlists Grifter and Savant. And IO claims they'll put together a CAT or Covert Action Team. (Familiar fans will immediately notice that as a reference to WildCATs.) Ellis is letting the characters clue us into the mystery of The Engineer, and our knowledge of what's going on with her stems only from what they know or think they know about her. It's a fun way to have the mystery play out, because it makes even the IO meeting room scenes have a bit more weight to them.
But some of the work surrounding these scenes leaves something to be desired. Voodoo gets a page of non-speaking panels that exists for some Big Text Ideas from Ellis that are almost a complete non-sequitur. Michael Cray, aka Deathblow, shows up for a short scene with a Doctor Mary Cross, which feels like a reference to Sister Mary and the Order of the Cross considering Cray's big non-reveal. It's a clear set-up for the Deathblow series that's coming soon, but the inclusion here doesn't feel quite natural. Even Bendix's introduction feels kind of forced in.
Jon Davis-Hunt was definitely the right artist to tap for this reboot. With each new character that's brought into the plot, his clean lines and strong character concepts build a really strong foundation for Ellis' new Wildstorm world. Davis-Hunt adheres fairly strictly to a nine-panel grid for most pages, with the only exception being the Miles Craven/IO scenes that are told with six evenly sized panels. He plays with some amount of modulation within those boundaries, opting for larger panels when he needs them, often punctuating scenes with wide panels that amount to all three panels in the bottom row of a layout. The use of such a modular layout helps convey a sense of intimacy to the proceedings. I mentioned previously that it feels more like a TV show that anything else and that remains true. Sadly, the style that came across in the debut is fumbled here. Ivan Plascensia's coloring was just as much a part of building this world as the lineart, and Steve Buccellato just isn't on the same level. His work is fine, but the flatter colors of Plasencia worked better than Buccellato's lasso brush approach.
The Wild Storm #2 still has a lot going for it, but it lacks the impact of the debut. The book is so heavily decompressed that the entirety of the book feels like it might have taken place simultaneously over the course of 15 minutes. While it's impressive that Ellis is able to make a comic like that readable, it is somewhat frustrating as a reader. It feels like the kind of book that will read great as a trade but will be a little inconsistent in floppies. Jon Davis-Hunt buoys the book, but hopefully Ivan Plascencia is back soon and for good. The Wild Storm is just getting started, but once Ellis gets all of his chess pieces in place, hopefully he'll be able to hone in on fewer characters at a time and give us more intense examinations of them.

Back when Warren Ellis was writing The Authority and Planetary for Wildstorm, he was the king of widescreen action comics. But The Wild Storm reboot is starting out small. Very small. There's no action to speak of in this issue; it's simply the aftermath of rival intelligence groups and something far more threatening as they realize that their world has changed. Angela Spica, the Engineer, has shown the public and her former superiors that she has essentially transformed herself into something new and not quite human. Now, the three sides are in a race to find Angela, but not all of them want her alive. The pacing for this issue is better than the first, and Jon Davis-Hunt seems to have found his stride on the art. Considering that almost every scene in the issue revolves around conversations, Ellis' script doesn't give Davis-Hunt much to work with on the visual front. But there are also pages with Angela in her hiding spot that have some of that old Wildstorm power and emotional punch. The downside of this series is that Ellis still expects the readers to recognize all of the former Wildstorm players without fully reintroducing them. But the story is a lot more intriguing now than it was a month ago. -Blair
Final Score:
7.0/10
The Wild Storm #2 (Published by DC Comics; Review by Justin Partridge; 'Rama Rating: 6 out of 10):
The Wild Storm has lost a bit of its sheen in its sophomore issue. Three shady-as-hell parties, IO, Skywatch, and Jacob Marlowe, are all after The Engineer, Angela Spica, and though Warren Ellis gets to display his finely honed sense of wit, much of this issue is just him moving the characters to where they need to be for the next installment without much fanfare. He does however give artist Jon Davis-Hunt as few sizable bits of silent storytelling in order to show off his clean, detailed style. But just when the issue starts to fly, the muddy colors of Steve Buccellato lessens its ascent. While Ivan Plascencia's efforts heightened Davis-Hunt's pencils, Buccellato's clash with the panels, giving them a coppery, almost brass look. A far cry from the bleeding edge look of the debut issue. Its early days for The Wild Storm so growing pains are to be expected, but here's hoping the title finds itself looking and reading smoother next month.

'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10
An Authority icon returns in the first honest-to-God fun issue of The Wild Storm. As IO's soldiers close in on the Engineer, a mysterious woman raids their information stores simply by walking through their phones, digital comics, and computer displays. Jenny Sparks, the Spirit of the 20th Century, makes her The Wild Storm debut, and with her debut comes a new energy and, if you'll pardon the pun, spark for the title. With the groundwork built, Warren Ellis and Jon Davis-Hunt now are kicking things into a higher gear, both with Jenny's introduction and the issue's main action revolving around the first engagement between IO and the wild covert action team (C.A.T.).
Dividing the issue into two "acts" in order to maximize his character real estate, Warren Ellis finally seems activated in this third installment of this new DC experiment. That isn't to say that isssues #1 and #2 were bad per se, but they read cold and distant, like a prologue. The Wild Storm #3 finally feels like we are experiencing an active genre offering, complete with the kind of dry humor and characters that Ellis excels at.
First up, we have the return of Jenny Sparks. Though she's only in the opening few pages, her character radiates off the page thanks to Ellis' reserved but biting dialogue for her and Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato's visual depiction of her new esoteric and subtle power-set. As Craven and IO gear up to hunt down Angela Spica to appease Henry Bendix and their Skywatch overlords, Jenny simply walks into frame, nestled in the middle of CCTV footage.
At first you aren't sure if you are reading the panel correctly, but as the creative team move the "camera" through the IO HQ, Jenny is right behind you, hopping through Easter egg-laden screens, apps, and shows. Better still, The Wild Storm seems to be taking cues from her former successor Jenny Quantum, making this new Jenny a woman of color. Though it isn't as explicit as I would of liked due to Buccellato's haphazard colors, it is a cheeky showing from the team and one that is 100% on brand for our dear returned Jenny Sparks.
This brings us to the meat of the issue, the battle between IO and the wild C.A.T. for the fate of the Engineer. Here Ellis again shows his reverence and respect for his art team and just lets them do as they may, script permitting, usually to the issue's benefit. The Wild Storm's first major dust-up is no exception. After a hilariously dumbstruck Angela is introduced to Grifter, Void, and Kenesha, an IO hit squad quickly busts up their meeting, and as they say in Bad Boys, the s#$% gets real.
Using standard wide boxed panels and tight grid layouts, Davis-Hunt and Buccellato render the fight almost in slow motion, showing terse snapshots of things in motion (launched grenades, Cole reaching for his mask, and the like) giving readers an escalating scale of time passed and level of violence that ends in an attacker literally exploding. It is a simple way to show action, but a damn effective one, as Davis-Hunt and Buccellato lean fully into the coldly wry cinematic tone of this series and provide the action to match it, culminating in the title's first truly standout sequence.
Though the first two installments of this series could easily be called bland or slow-going, The Wild Storm #3 finally starts to deliver on the promise and energy we expected from an Ellis-led WildStorm reboot. The hard part is over, now it's just up to Ellis to keep delivering the kind of action and weirdness we love from his licensed work. Issue #3 also shows readers that Jon Davis-Hunt can do so much more than tense office conversations and quick bursts of sci-fi action. The Wild Storm had my curiosity before, but after #3, it finally has my full attention.

The Wild Storm is a clever, engrossing update to the old Wildstorm universe, but the series has been a bit lacking when it comes to the sardonic wit Warren Ellis usually brings to his work. Luckily, that begins to change in this issue as Ellis and Jon Davis-Hunt introduce Jenny Sparks into the fold. Jenny displays some very interesting abilities here, including a fun sequence where she travels between the real world and various TV shows, commercials and comic books. Admittedly, Davis-Hunt's style is a bit too subdued to truly capture the weirdness of that sequence. But otherwise, his work is a great match for this new take on the Wildstorm U. - one that feels slightly futuristic and exciting but still bound by very real and obvious technical limitations. Jenny Spark's debut seems to charge up the book in general (pun intended) as this issue takes a more action-oriented approach and makes greater strides in terms of establishing the main players and power struggles of this universe. This already promising new series is quickly heating up. -Jesse

This series is definitely trying my patience. After two-and-a-half issues of setup, The Wild Storm is back in setup mode again and most of the issue is all talk and no action. Warren Ellis does have a gift for dialogue, but he leans too heavily on it here. One extended conversation leads into an entirely separate conversation, both of which seem to be designed just to demonstrate how clever Ellis can be. That trick got old a long time ago. We know the stakes in this story; they shouldn't have to be constantly repeated. Some of the character beats are interesting, including Henry Bendix's persona behind closed doors. It's just not enough to carry the issue. Jon Davis-Hunt isn't given a similar chance to show off his skills until the reveal of Bendix's location late in the issue. Now, that is a Wildstorm page. If the characters were more compelling, this could become something special. But it's only half of what it should be. -Blair
Final Score:
6.7/10
The Wild Storm #4 (Published by DC Comics; Review by Pierce Lydon; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):
This one starts out with a bang but really slows down as we get to see the cast react to the existence of a Wild C.A.T. (covert action team). That might make it seem like this issue is a disappointment, but Jon Davis-Hunt knows his way around a talky scene. Warren Ellis' characters can sometimes be a little wordy, especially if they're ones he's clearly having fun writing. But Davis-Hunt not only gives him space to do his work, he keeps the characters moving. It's small details like Henry Bendix taking off his tie and pacing around the room to get more comfortable that make the conversations feel more natural. This is juxtaposed with a lot of silent panels, and widescreen panels that open up the dynamics of the book. I've been likening this title to a well-paced television show and that's still where it's living. Ellis is parsing his reveals out slowly and allowing us to understand the characters as much as possible in every interaction they have. There are still a lot of questions but even in a short scene, it feels like we're getting relevant information. Not a lot of writers are able to do that, and The Wild Storm is better for it.

"Strange damn world. I love it...I don't want to die." The Wild Storm is definitely not the Wildstorm of old, and there's not even any action to speak of in this issue. But Warren Ellis does a very good job of slowing down the pace and making the supporting characters like Michael Cray into more compelling figures. In the previous Wildstrom universe, Michael was the assassin known as Deathblow. Michael's still a killer in The Wild Storm, but he's come to realize that he may have been acting against the best interests of himself and the world. Jon Davis-Hunt's artwork also effectively humanizes Void, the Engineer, and Zealot with the way they emote on the page. Their thoughts are conveyed strictly through their facial expressions and it's far more effective than any thought bubble could be. This is a much more down-to-Earth take on the classic Wildstorm characters than anyone could have expected. It's too early to say how this will play out, but this is more interesting than the earlier issues of the series. -Blair

The Wild Storm #5
Written by Warren Ellis
Art by Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato
Lettering by Simon Bowland
Published by DC Comics
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10
We are five issues into DC's ambitious WildStorm reimagining and it is finally starting to get going. Though Warren Ellis' initial offerings were either a chilly sort of tease or action showcases, The Wild Storm #5 gets some of our major players interacting and jars others into finally being characters. Taking a surprisingly emotional turn, Ellis uses the intrigue and meticulously laid out action of the first four issues to inform the connections our cast makes this month. In doing so, they finally read like more than names checked off a wiki and re-downloaded back into the modern comic scene.
Though Steve Buccellato's colors still add more cloudiness to the artwork than I would like (my kingdom for Ivan Plascencia!), he and Jon Davis-Hunt refocus their efforts well to the more character-centric and dialogue-heavy #5. Using the same rigidly effective layouts and spartan, closely focused panel construction, Davis-Hunt and Buccellato's workmanlike pages sell both the painfully normal and mind-alteringly weird world of The Wild Storm, adding a new depth to their work by making their art extend an open palm instead of a closed fist. We still have nineteen more issues and an unknown amount of spin-offs to go in this world before all is said and done, but The Wild Storm #5 shows that it plans to occasionally think emotionally instead of just clinically and cynically.
Warren Ellis has always been a writer that succeeds on "moments." His Moon Knight run is a great latest example. The Wild Storm #5 is another, but instead of being his usual kind of theatrical or violent, he applies this moment-to-moment thinking to the characters interacting instead of punching each other apart or trying to outplay them in the game of universal politics.
The amazing women of the series again take most of the main focus as Zealot continues to follow the bloody trail of Spica and the wild C.A.T. (Covert Action Team) while the Engineer and the anomalous Adrianna simply talk like human beings. Like I said, it isn't the usual kind fare we get from Ellis, but The Wild Storm is taking more than a few cues from his, Declan Shalvey, and Jordie Bellaire's Injection, which does a fine job of balancing organic characters and strangeness. This series is a bit more, shall we say, corporate than Injection, but that isn't a bad thing at all - especially when it takes the time to ground both the emotions and major players of this strange stylish world.
Both the Engineer Angela Spica and legendary black-ops agent Michael Cray benefit heavily from this new pathos-filled direction - and it's about bloody time. Cray, who has been largely on the fringes, comes dangerously close to stealing the whole damn show with a meaty B-plot of him taking one last job to hunt down Spica to distract from his terminal brain tumor - only to realize how duplicitous his smiling boss Craven can and has been. This side plot is also given hefty gut punches of context for Cray as Ellis, Davis-Hunt, and Buccellato deliver a whirlwind origin story for Cray that gives you everything you need to know about his horrific service record condensed into 14 tiny panels.
Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato aren't given much by way of action this issue, but that doesn't mean that they are resting on their laurels. What issue #5 lacks in propulsion, it more than makes up for in emoting and neatly segmented interactions. This comes across best in the scene of Angela and Adri having coffee.
As the two women connect as explorers of a sort and victims of circumstance as Adri reveals her origins in "The Bleed," the first mention of the WildStorm staple, Davis-Hunt stages it much like an intimate one-act play, giving each woman equal standing in the conversation, ample panel room to detail their reactions, and providing a chilly ominousness in Adri's memories of her "death." I give Buccellato some grief for not being "clean" enough, but his warmth of color really shines in this particular scene and in the Cray flashbacks as well. He shifts well from contemplative voids and bleak hot pinks in the Adri/Spica scene to flatly haunting opaques in the Cray sequence. While it still isn't as sleek as it should be, Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato are still willing to head in whatever direction the series plans on taking.
Adri tells Spica this issue that "the truth is probably weirder" and the weird truth of The Wild Storm #5 is that it leads with its heart instead of its head this month. Warren Ellis, Jon Davis-Hunt, and Steve Buccellato have already done the hard part of establishing this world. Now, the harder part of establishing the people in said world can begin and by the looks of this fifth issue, that work might not be as hard as we might expect.

Now that's the Warren Ellis I remember. Great action and horrible bastards. It's not often you see a 15-panel page, but Jon Davis-Hunt not only makes it work, he uses it to amp up the tension of a very memorable sequence. Let's put it this way: there's only one real action scene in this book, and that's all that it needs. The rest of it is largely an exposition dump between Angela Spica and Jacob Marlowe, as he explains what's happening and part of who he really is. The truly impressive part is how readable the issue is even though very little actually happens. And the glimpse of what Void really is was unsettling. This isn't the Wildstorm universe you may remember. So far, it's become a place worth exploring. It still has a long way to go before it reaches the heights of Ellis' previous Wildstorm run, but this was a great issue and an encouraging step in the right direction. -Blair

"This world can be fun but it isn't kind." Believe it or not, this is a stealth Green Arrow issue, and Oliver Queen takes up a surprising number of pages in what probably should be Michael Cray's solo spotlight. This is a spinoff of Warren Ellis' The Wild Storm, but it doesn't quite read as well if you're not familiar with the character or his world before coming into this issue. Bryan Hill's best work here comes within the quieter scenes between Michael and his family, as well as his already strained relationship with his new boss. Hill's take on Oliver Queen is also pretty interesting, although he is definitely not the Green Arrow of the DCU. N. Steven Harris' pages demonstrate his very deep understanding of the sequential arts, and his layouts are impressive. I'm not quite as blown away by the overall story, and it does feel a little incomplete outside of The Wild Storm series. But I'm willing to see where this detour goes. -Blair

THE WILD STORM #11
Written by WARREN ELLIS
Art and cover by JON DAVIS-HUNT
Variant covers by JIM LEE and BRYAN HITCH
The Wild CAT must reinfiltrate the Hightower site in order to prevent their own exposure—and also the roll out of a new global surveillance tool that will cement I.O.'s dominance over the planet. But if you're a bunch of aliens and an ex-spook who faked his own death, you can probably be forgiven for thinking about your own weird skin first. Jackie King and the I.O. analysis team could take a leaf out of their book, because they're about to undertake a cyber-attack on Skywatch, the managers of outer space, that could easily get them killed...

THE WILD STORM #13
Written by WARREN ELLIS • Art and cover by JON DAVIS-HUNT • Variant cover by FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA
John Lynch, once the director of IO, the secret deep-state agency that runs Earth, is on the road. His darkest project, Thunderbook, has been uncovered, and he needs to warn the principals, now scattered across America. Hiding. Because they were his most successful experiments. And none of them are completely human anymore.

John Lynch, ex-director of IO, is travelling to America to warn the subjects of his most secret program that the current heads of IO may know about them—what Lynch did to them in Project Thunderbook, how they changed and where they're hiding. He may be a day too late to help Alexandra Fairchild, waiting in the middle of nowhere for people to come and kill her.

Pensavo fosse più lunga la pausa, meno male.
Io pensavo finisse col 12.
Quanti numeri sono previsti?

24 numeri di Ellis di questi tempi sono una manna. Speriamo che terminata la serie si dedichi ancora all'universo Wildstorm, magari rilanciando Authority, Planetary o qualsiasi cosa lui voglia (mi va bene anche Gen 13 o DV8 :lolle:)

variant cover by DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON
You can never go home again, but John Lynch needs to go somewhere to begin the last act of his life. Jack Hawksmoor never really had a home, especially since he became something other than human. As the war between IO and Skywatch gets hot, Marc Slayton has somewhere for Lynch to go, and Jenny Sparks may have a new home for Jack Hawksmoor...and Angela Spica.

The WildStorm è programmata per terminare al numero 24?
Il dubbio mi viene vedendo il numero che avanza nelle varie copertine
Si anche se è fermo

variant cover by MARLEY ZARCONE
Beginning the fourth story arc of THE WILD STORM. Jenny Mei Sparks has been around for over a century. She's seen a lot of things. Enough bad stuff that she took 20 years off to get drunk. And now she's back, and she has a plan. The problem is that other people have plans, too, and one of them is about reducing the population of Earth by around 90 percent.

variant cover by DEAN ORMSTON
Skywatch intensifies its preparation for war, increasing its attacks on the planet. For some of these conflict zones, Skywatch's greatest threat is not IO or conventional forces, but the people who escaped from its own experimentation camps. And the four people in London whom it knows little about, but who are preparing to take steps to alter the balance of the world...
