About this Collection

This collection brings together the third volume of the 1999 StormWatch series, focusing on a high-stakes narrative where the team faces a dire threat that forces them to confront the possibility of radical transformation. The story arc, titled 'Change or Die,' explores themes of sacrifice and evolution as the superhuman team navigates a crisis that could alter their very existence. Written by Micah Ian Wright with art by Whilce Portacio, this trade paperback collects issues #8–12 of the series.

In "Change or Die," Warren Ellis and Tom Raney launch a blistering exploration of power and control as the Changers, led by John Cumberland, dismantle symbols of authority in a radical bid to end scarcity. With Stormwatch torn apart by internal conflict and Henry Bendix unleashing a deadly biological weapon, Jenny Sparks stands alone in her defiance—facing both betrayal and the cost of revolution. The cover by Tom Raney and Randy Elliott captures the storm's intensity, mirroring the issue's escalating tension.
