Stormwatch #11 Preview & Discussion

[Desaad]

That seems sort of...wrong headed to me.

Once you do that story, things get more complicated. Okay, they fake their deaths and the destruction of their ship, and then...? And then Superman and Batman are STUPIDER for not recognizing that they're still active, now having met and fought them? Eh.

I'd rather that everyone just sort of exist in their own sphere.

[Mr. Holmes]

Well we know that JL and SW will be clashing heads soon...

[BohemiaDrinker]

Okay, I didn`t like this issue. Really didn`t.

I don`t like Engineer`s new origin (or what we`ve seen of it), or the fact that she seems to be a common cyborg now,. I didn`t like to see Apolo praying, I don`t like Midnighter to be so chatty, and I don`t like this laid back Jack Hawksmoor.

I didn`t particularly care about the story telling either; the Neanderthal bits just felt like they were explaining too much, too slowly.

The one thing I liked about is the reference to Jenny Sparks.

But this particular really killed a lot of my interest in the book.

[Rakzo]

Loved this issue and all the character work Milligan is doing.

Though the Engineer's new origin was'nt completely revealed I liked what I saw, how it connected with Harry Tanner and how he might not be as terrible as we thought. Besides, I really enjoy how Apollo and Midnighter flirts with each other on the battlefield, is just fun.

The next issue is the one I'm anticipating the most since J'onn is finally leaving the team and hopefully goes where he belongs.

Same here, but I really want to know why he's leaving Stormwatch and I'm guessing its the same reason he "left" Justice League and the ominous "They are Not Realy" in Justice League #8... Well least we now have a reason for the two teams to meet, they both could be going after Martian Manhunter

I wonder if someone could answer this for me
Does Neil Sinclare/Apollo's origin from Flashpoint count ? As his origin

Not sure what you're talking about.

[robcastor729]

Not sure what you're talking about.

Flashpoint Project Superman
Had Neil Sinclair/Apollo get his powers from Doomsday's DNA being injected

On Ep. 25 of our podcast we discussed if that was supposed to be Apollo but had no way of getting confirmation and none of us picked up those issues. Do they call him Apollo?

[Mr. Holmes]

No they don't, just Sinclair I think.

[robcastor729]

In the first issue they call him Neil Sinclair which was a name used by Apollo in the old Wildstorm universe.

No they don't, just Sinclair I think.

Hmmm, interesting...

[goRimbaud!]

This run will be a secret gem, a cult favorite, a legend.

Amazing issue: 10/10

And big things are coming of course.

[Comet Man]

I agree.

It's grown by leaps and bounds since Milligan took over, and the art is just beautiful.

Someone in the Justice League vs. Stormwatch thread said in order for that to happen, Stormwatch would need to get better. Obviously that person isn't reading Stormwatch, or they'd realize that it already is.

[Genki Sudo]

Did not like this issue at all, this series imo has gotten worse since Milligan came on board. Engineer's new partial origin is just cliche and her original one was far better, I'm done with this book from here on out

[will_from_chicago]

I liked the issue, although I did notice one mistake. Harry Tanner referred to the Projectionist as Emma. However, a previous issue had a Shadow Lord addressing her as Adele Benson. Also, it seems that there is now some tension between Jack Hawksmoor and Apollo. Whether this will last remains to be seen.

I think that the Hidden People do represent an interesting threat, kind of like how Gorilla Grodd is a threat for the Flash. I wonder if Vandal Savage is involved with them.

Next issue: J'Onn J'Onnzz, the Manhunter from Mars, leaves the team. I hope that there is a good explanation why one of the senior members of Stormwatch leaves the team. (Yes, I know that this is an editorial decision but I hope that we get a good story out of this departure.)
