Stormwatch #29

The entire Stormwatch squad charges forward in urgent formation on Ron Lim and Robert Jones's cover — a shouting male team leader in silver armor leads the rush, flanked by a fierce blonde woman and several teammates in matching tactical suits, while a composed dark-haired woman anchors the foreground and a mysterious tattooed arm reaches in from the right edge. It's a propulsive image that sets up writer Jeff Mariotte's "Tango Atlantico, Part One" with real urgency, suggesting the team is sprinting straight into something serious. Image's 1995 Stormwatch was delivering this kind of kinetic ensemble energy month after month, and issue #29 looks like no exception.
