☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints the opening story arc of the 1999 StormWatch series, written by Micah Ian Wright with art by Whilce Portacio. The volume follows the high-tech, UN-sanctioned superhero team as they confront a devastating environmental threat that tests their abilities and loyalties. It serves as a relaunch of the StormWatch concept under DC's WildStorm imprint, blending global-scale action with political and ecological themes.
In "New World Order," Warren Ellis and Tom Raney launch a high-stakes global thriller as the terrorist group Kodō unleashes six triple entities on Tokyo, threatening to collapse the city and shatter Japan’s commitment to disarmament. With precision and tension, the three Stormwatch teams converge to stop the chaos, culminating in a haunting confrontation where Fuji faces down the voice of Kodō in a moment that reshapes the mission’s course. The cover by Tom Raney and Randy Elliott captures the city’s dread with striking, kinetic detail.
In "New World Order," Henry Bendix reshapes Stormwatch into three specialized field teams, ushering in a new era of tactical precision. When the German government calls on the team to stop a dangerous superpowered psychopath, the stakes rise—and so does the tension within the restructured unit.
In "Black," Stormwatch’s covert agent Jo infiltrates the quiet city of Lincoln, where the sudden emergence of superpowered police officers has thrown the nation into turmoil. With Weatherman detaining suspects without trial, Jo must navigate a web of suspicion and secrecy to uncover the truth behind the phenomenon—before the line between protector and oppressor vanishes entirely.
In "Mutagen," Kaizen Gamorra's release of a mutagen in England triggers a global response, forcing the British government to activate Code Perfect and call in Stormwatch. When Henry Bendix retaliates by ordering Stormwatch Red to eliminate an equal number of Gamorrans, the mission plunges the team into a moral and tactical crisis.
In "Activator," Christine Trelane, a woman whose own abilities stem from a mysterious power source, delves into the dangerous possibility of awakening a dormant Seedling—only to uncover a chilling truth: the Seedling is no dormant force, but a psychopath whose powers have been active all along. Trelane begins to suspect that her own role as an activator may have triggered something far more sinister than she ever imagined.
In "Kodō," a chilling terrorist cell known as Kodō unleashes six triple entities across Tokyo, threatening to shatter the city and derail Japan’s commitment to disarmament. With the fate of the treaty hanging in the balance, Stormwatch’s three teams race to contain the chaos, and Fuji faces a haunting psychological battle with the voice behind the attack.
