Stormwatch: P.H.D. #16

Stormwatch: Post Human Division #16 brings WildStorm's ground-level superhuman task force face-to-face with what looks like a serious threat, as the cover by Leandro Fernández depicts three team members bracing against an unseen force — a masked, heavily-armed figure at center dominates the composition, flanked by a weapon-wielding teammate to the left and a red-haired woman to the right, all gazing upward with unmistakable urgency. Ian Edginton's "Full Metal Justice" storyline and Fernández's kinetic linework make this January 2009 issue feel like a team pushed to its limits. As a bonus, the issue also includes "Cybernary: Chapter 4" by Christos Gage and Pete Woods, giving readers two slices of WildStorm action for one cover price.
