Global Frequency

Warren Ellis and artist Garry Leach launched Global Frequency for DC in 2013, a single-issue comic built around a covert, non-governmental organization that recruits experts from around the world to handle crises too strange or dangerous for conventional authorities. The series distills Ellis's signature blend of high-concept tech-thriller and global-scale problem-solving into a tight, self-contained story. Though a brief entry, it offers a concentrated dose of the series' core idea: a decentralized network of operatives, each a specialist in their field, ready to respond to any threat.
