Stormwatch

Part of DC's post-Flashpoint reboot, this 2011 series reimagined Stormwatch as a secret, centuries-old organization of super-powered operatives who protect Earth from extraterrestrial and interdimensional threats. Writers Peter Milligan, Jim Starlin, and Paul Cornell each shaped the team's cosmic scope, with artists like Yvel Guichet and Will Conrad grounding the high-concept action. Running 31 issues, it brought a darker, more strategic tone to the team, positioning them as the world's hidden, often morally ambiguous guardians before the line's eventual transition into The Authority.
