StormWatch #[2]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the second story arc of the 2000s StormWatch series, continuing the adventures of the United Nations-sponsored superhuman team. Written by Micah Ian Wright, the storyline 'Lightning Strikes' pits StormWatch against a powerful new threat while exploring the team's evolving dynamics and the consequences of their actions on a global scale.
In "Jack Hawksmoor," Warren Ellis and Tom Raney launch a globe-trotting mission for StormWatch, as the team moves through secret bars in Science City 57, London’s Wolfshead, and Clark’s Bar in Paris and New York. When Rose Tattoo commits a brutal act, team leader Bendix makes a shocking decision: instead of reprimanding her, he tasks her with eliminating the mysterious High, who has finally left his long-quiet seat in the Himalayas.
In a quiet moment with Jackson King, Jenny Sparks recounts her remarkable journey—from her early days as a crimefighter in 1930s and 40s America to her later service with the British military in the 1950s, and her persistent, ultimately unfulfilled efforts to unite Britain’s superhuman community across the decades. Her story is a testament to resilience, legacy, and the quiet cost of being ahead of her time.
When Battalion is taken from a quiet day off in Constitution, Alabama, he’s thrust into a deadly race against a private militia planning a devastating terrorist attack. Forced to act without backup, he must confront the threat alone—only to see the U.S. government respond by banning Stormwatch from operating within the country.
In "Rose Tattoo," StormWatch’s globe-trotting field team hits bars from Science City 57 to New York’s Clark’s Bar, chasing leads in a world where superhumans gather in shadows. When Rose Tattoo assaults a guard, her actions don’t earn punishment—instead, Bendix assigns her a deadly mission: eliminate the High, who’s finally stirred from decades of stillness in the Himalayas.
When a Stormwatch team vanishes in Serbia, Bendix assembles a strike force of superpowered operatives to track them down. What they uncover is a hidden cache of Daemonite technology and twisted living experiments—now loose and deadly.
