	Stormwatch (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stormwatch is a fictional United Nations-sponsored superhero team in the Wildstorm Universe.
		It was during this period that Ellis used Stormwatch to introduce the concept of the Bleed, a space between parallel universes which features heavily in Planetary and other comics set in the Wildstorm universe.
		The series later became a satire of politics and comic books, with segments where the team replaces a Strom Thurmond/Jesse Helms-like Senator with a shape-shifter, and a storyline where a Captain America-analog (revealed to be the reincarnation of George Washington) tries to overthrow the American government.

		That is, unless the United Nations's StormWatch team can't get in there first and find a way to stop Williams without killing the rest of Elyria in the process...
		I also really appreciated that Wright is taking adage that "every issue is someone's first" to heart; he made it very easy for a new reader to just jump into the story, without having to stop for lengthy speeches involving exposition that would bring everything grinding to a halt.

	Read About Comics » StormWatch: Post Human Division #1
		Former StormWatch leader Jackson King’s new plan involves a series of Post Human Division groups, one in each major city and partnering with local law enforcement, to best deal with super-powered outbreaks and the aftermath, forming a team of specialists who are the experts of their field.
		The characters themselves have real potential as well, from the former super-villain moll whose lure to join StormWatch is to finally be taken seriously as the extremely intelligent woman that she is, to the perfectly ordinary cop who’s merely able to think fast enough on his feet that he can survive against super-powered attacks.
		StormWatch: Post Human Division #1 is the latest in a series of new launches for the WildStorm imprint, and is in many ways the most intriguing.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Books \| The Authority
		The Authority is one of those comic book gems that has found its way to the audience by carefully dropping clues and telling a big story over a period of years, letting the pieces unravel slowly building up to a certain climax.
		One of these comics was Stormwatch, which had an interesting premise: Stormwatch is a United Nations sanctioned team of super humans (top notch space station orbiting the earth included) that does what the U.N. dictates them and fight the evil-doers of the world.
		In addition to his indie comics, Ellis still works with Wildstorm, under the Homage Comics imprint on creator-owned books, Quitely has had a highly successful run on the X-Men machine; and Millar and Hitch are the team behind The Ultimates, which is basically the Marvel Comics' Avengers version of The Authority.

		Stormwatch just seemed to be yet another book with bad anatomy and standard plots.
		Stormwatch was no longer a perfect, crime-free organization and questions began to arise as to what, exactly, they were fighting.
		Wildstorm had decided that since Stormwatch had become such a different comic than what it had started out being, it was time for a relaunch.

		I was reading comics in the days when if you wanted to bring Vindicator back to Alpha Flight, you had to come up with a story about how instead of getting blown to bits he was teleported to another planet where intelligent jellyfish put him back together and sent him home.
		Stormwatch Prime is a crisis response team answerable to and funded by the U.S., but they are available to other nations as well, and they spend a lot of time dealing with large-scale menaces like Gamorran terrorist armies and tsunamis.
		Stormwatch: PHD is partially funded and supported by the larger Stormwatch, but also affiliated with the NYPD and local government.

		Stormwatch develops storylines for both the team of UN-sponsored superheroes and the individual characters in its issues.
		Ellis, a 29-year old Englishman, has been on the comics scene for a number of years but is just now beginning to make a significant mark in the industry.
		With a clear, literate voice that is rare in comics today, Ellis tells the stories that only someone living outside the U.S. could tell, stories that reveal how stupid, petty and downright thuggish America can be when looked at in the context of the entire world.

		It is notable for its intense graphic violence and visual flair, often described as "widescreen" comics, and the uncompromising attitudes of its characters (leading to them often being described as fascists).
		A character from pre-Ellis Stormwatch, Swift is a Tibetan Chinese woman who has the ability to grow wings at will, and consequently be the "fastest winged mammal on the planet".
		After the first Engineer was killed in an issue of Ellis's Stormwatch, his nanotechnology transferred itself to Spica and bonded with her system, giving her vast mechanical abilities.

		Superhero comics are a dime a million these days, overpowering the market through sheer numbers.
		STORMWATCH: A FINER WORLD proves an exception to the dime-a-million rule, condensing action (but not gore) for the sake of story development.
		STORMWATCH: A FINER WORLD is a strangely thoughtful and fulfilling take on the superhero genre, where the heroes wrestle with the notion of altering the status quo rather than protecting it.

	Micah Wright Speaks Out About StormWatch 6. Authority, Whilce Portacio And More
		I decided to contact Micah Wright, StormWatch: TA's resident script writer, and ask him some questions concerning the construction of a team battle and on just how much input fans really have when it comes to their favorite comic book characters.
		StormWatch accomplished their tactical mission (to kill the Chechan superterrorist cell) and withdrew, period.
		This was not a "superbattle to end all superbattles" between two teams of over-muscled toughs punching it out on a city street amongst a crowd of terrified civilians, it was a military action, ruthlessly carried out by professionals against violent terrorists using a team of elite super-dilettantes as the weapon to smite the terrorists.

		The title of the second volume of collected StormWatch issues, StormWatch: Lightning Strikes, is a reference to the electrical powers of Jenny Sparks, one of the members that Warren Ellis created upon his assumption of the writing chores on this book.
		These StormWatch collections chronicle Ellis's dismantling of a superhero team that, prior to his arrival, could arguably be viewed as an example of how bad things got in mainstream comics in the Nineties.
		I think she may be one of the best characters created in comics recently, simply for the fact she has none of these so-called `attributes'.

	Comics Reviews -- Stormwatch Volume 5
		Warren Ellis comes STORMWATCH, a United Nation sanctioned superteam formed to stop ANY threat the world may encounter – maybe it be supernatural in nature or not.
		But if ever there was a superhero team book that raised the standard of superhero comics at that time, this is that title.
		Just imagine the FBI composed of superhumans (as the police force) then mix-in some high tension drama/politics between the members/superior, then you have one of the realistic (in comics anyway) portrayals of superheroes.

	Read About Comics
		Part of the problem with trying to create a humor comic, when you think about it, is that both the writing and the art need to be equally funny.
		Each half of the equation normally has to support each other in a comic to begin with, but it’s doubly true with comedy; the potential difference in humor levels between the writing and the art can ruin a joke with only half of the punch line really being delivered.
		In an ongoing serial comic, it’s easy for creators to take the easy route, keeping the status quo from one installment to the next and no real lasting effects shaking out.

	The 11th Hour
		All this is combined with a wry sense of humor and pathos that leaves the reader with a sense of wonder not present in superhero comics in almost thirty years.
		Ellis is a man in love with the golden age of comics, and it's hard not to grin knowingly when he evokes characters that bare strong similarities to Doc Savage, Fu Manchu, Tarzan, and The Shadow.
		In Issue #8, a story which ostensibly details a funeral is a thinly-veiled jab at the penchant for "gritty" comics that has been seen in the 80's and 90's.

	Amazon.com: StormWatch Vol. 4: A Finer World: Books: Warren Ellis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I have been told that the initial Stormwatch comics were not especially well done, but I doubt that anyone will be disappointed with the graphic novels (A Finer World and Change or Die) because they are compendiums of later issues of Stormwatch.
		The second story deals with an alternate reality in which only Stormwatch can prevent a deadly (and chillingly familiar) alien menance from destroying all of humanity; but the ultimate act of heroism requires the ultimate sacrifice, and all of Stormwatch will be called upon to make it.
		Stormwatch is the finest comic series I have read, and any who read A Finer World or Change or Die will realize why.

	Thor #45 (ADD Review)
		Casual readers of my columns over the (gah!) years I've been writing about comics may have come to the conclusion that I hate superhero comics, and some may even be wondering why I am reviewing this issue.
		I hate the financial crimes and editorial fuckery of your typical mainstream superhero comics publisher, and I absolutely loathe the vast majority of crap that said mainstream publishers jam the stands with on a weekly basis.
		It spoke volumes to me from across the comics shop, and for the first time in many years, I was excited to crack the cover of an issue of this title.

	Locus Online: Claude Lalumière on Warren Ellis
		In 1996, his writing started to appear in comics from several companies, but landing script duties for Wildstorm's Stormwatch would prove to be a career landmark, although we would have to wait for 1998-99 to see the spectacular outcome.
		Initially, Stormwatch was a rather generic superhero title from the Wildstorm studio; under Ellis's stewardship it began to explore the consequences of having covert government agencies creating secret posthuman task forces.
		Currently, Ellis is involved in various multimedia projects, working on a number of SF comics, writing a science-fiction prose novel due to be published in 2005 from HarperCollins, and scripting superhero stories for Marvel's Ultimate imprint.
