Stormwatch #12

Stormwatch #12 (1994) marks a pivotal shift in the team’s dynamic as Synergy steps into the role left vacant by Henry’s removal as Weatherman, bringing a new level of authority—and tension—to the mission. With Hellstrike’s body unraveling and Fuji stepping out of his containment suit to reach his dying friend, the emotional stakes rise as the team is dispatched to Russia to confront a dangerous new threat. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated by Mat Broome, with inks by Trevor Scott, Tom McWeeney, and Chuck Gibson, and colors by Steve Firchow and Wildstorm Effects, the issue’s cover by Mat Broome and Trevor Scott captures the weight of the moment.
