About this Collection

This 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.
