Stormwatch #24

In Stormwatch #24 (1995), the team grapples with the aftermath of betrayal and loss as Despot and the Warguard close in. With Synergy devising a desperate plan to lure them into a trap on Skywatch, Hellstrike stays behind to hold the line while Battalion and Timeslip arrive from a year in the past—setting the stage for a high-stakes gamble. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated by Renato Arlem, Darryl Banks, with inks by Robert Jones and Dan Panosian, colors by Monica Bennett and Ominous Color, and letters by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, the issue’s cover by Scott Clark and Troy Hubbs captures the tension of a mission that could end in sacrifice.
