StormWatch

A short-lived but pivotal 1999–2001 DC series, StormWatch reunited writer Warren Ellis with artists Tom Raney, Bryan Hitch, and Chris Sprouse for a five-issue coda to his acclaimed run. Following the team's transformation into the Authority, this volume explores the fallout of their radical new mandate, offering a bridge between the old guard and the next generation of superhuman intervention. Though brief, it matters as a key transitional work that crystallizes Ellis's vision of superheroes as global, proactive forces.
