About the series
In the late 1990s, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch took over this Image Comics title, transforming it from a standard superhero team book into a high-concept, paramilitary take on global crisis management. Over 11 issues, Ellis redefined StormWatch as a United Nations-sanctioned force of superhumans dealing with the political and existential threats of a post-Cold War world, with art by Bryan Hitch, Michael Ryan, and Oscar Jimenez. This series is a crucial bridge between Ellis and Hitch's earlier work and their landmark The Authority, establishing the gritty, cinematic style that would define a generation of superhero comics.
