Global Frequency

Warren Ellis's Global Frequency ran for twelve issues from 2002 to 2004 under DC's WildStorm imprint, presenting a near-future thriller about a secret, non-governmental organization that recruits the world's top experts—scientists, soldiers, hackers, and more—to tackle global crises too dangerous for any nation. Each issue is a standalone story, often illustrated by a different artist (including David Lloyd, Garry Leach, and Gene Ha), giving the series a rotating, anthology feel that emphasizes the breadth of its cast and the urgency of its missions. The series matters as a taut, inventive take on the procedural genre, showcasing Ellis's knack for high-concept, fast-paced storytelling and his interest in how decentralized networks of expertise could save the world.
