. . . and writer Justin Jordan promises an old school WildStorm feel for the New 52's latest recruits.

Too bad I'm an old-school DC fan who really doesn't care as much about old-school Image and WildStorm.

We need an Ellis Wildstorm feel, not old school.

Cornell tried that with Stormwatch.

It didn't go so well.

Who could do Ellis besides Ellis himself?

I miss the good old days when I could avoid Wildstorm and Vertigo by not buying any Wildstorm or Vertigo books.

I don't mean it has to be exactly like how Ellis would write it. Cornell kind of has the razor wit that Ellis has, but he's better with character-driven stories like Demon Knights than something like Stormwatch, which tried to capture the cinematic feel of Authority.

Before Ellis, Stormwatch, for instance, was a typical Lee book that was cheap and wannabe edgy. I guess that's what I connote "old School Wildstorm" with, but hopefully I'm wrong.

I'm anticipating this title and I hope that DC gives Jordan more projects, he seems to be really excited about working on these properties.

Anyone not interested in buying anything affiliated with Wildstorm, here's what you do: don't buy it. Personally, i'm drooling for this book. Let's get it on!

Not on a first date! We haven't even been properly introduced!

I think that it's smart that DC is finally hiring successful new writers instead of more 90's hacks, although it is ironic that Jordan will be writing in that 90's hack-y style or at least it sounds that way.

I predict that this will become one of DC's better selling titles.

Cornell is like Milligan in that his style seems to alternate between hit or miss.

I loved Cornell's run on Action, but I couldn't stand Knight & Squire and Demon Knights seems like a book I'd like, but his run on Stormwatch doesn't.

Exactly what I wanted to say! Thank you!
On the interview now, I'm glad to see that Dinah has a central role in the book. It's mostly because of her that I'll get at least the first arc.

Excited to read it, but I would rather have this book in the present.
