    Is anybody still reading this book?

    I feel DC really blew it with this one. I remember they were hyping this book up as a big deal with the New 52 that would really be a key book that everyone would have to read, and now I forget it exists. Cornell's arc kinda sucked and I think it might be too late with this one. I never hear people talking about it.

    Thats your opinion, you're entitled to it, but don't speak for everyone else. I enjoy this book.

    Funny, but I was reading it and liking it alot until Cornell left. Then Jenkins took over and I stopped.

    Cornell actually had me interested in what was going on. His group dynamics really reminded me a bit of Thunderbolts. But Jenkins tale just lost me.

    its okay, I read it when I can. I know its not as good as Batman, which is a title I have no interest in (as of now), but the art is not to my looking, along with Grifter's too. Voodoo is really the only good Wildstorm book

    Cornell's arc was alright, but could have been so much better. Jenkins's run was forgettable, with really bad and overused technobabble. Hopefully Milligan gives this book the direction it needs.

    I gave this title a go, wasn't terrible, but frankly it wasn't very good either. Hopefully it improves under Milligan, but I though Cornell's arc was very average.

    I totally agree with this. DC talked it up as important, but I don't see it that way at all. Totally forgettable.

    It still is important, especially with how Martian Manhunter was shown in Justice League #8. It's not DC's fault that readers only want to read Batman.

    Maybe DC should put Batman on Stormwatch then, that would be make it important

    Giving Stormwatch shot with Milligan coming onboard, and from that preview it seems like that would be a good idea. I think when Cornell left and Jenkins was filling in their wasn't a lot DC could say about the book, so it lost a lot of steam during that whole period.

    Hopefully tying into Trinity War or whatever it is could give it a shot in the arm.

    Not true. Cornell's arc was good, Jenkins short run even better, but Milligan coming on will be the best of all. I just know it!
    I seriously miss Captain Mar-Vell.

    Midnighter looks good. Sees the enemy, hits the weak stop. That is The Midnighter. Appollo`s dialogue felt awkward as hell, though. "Need ... more... solar power" made me feel like I was back in ´86.
