I was a die-hard Image Comics fan when they first appeared on the scene in the early 90’s. Spawn, WildC.A.T.S, Youngblood, Savage Dragon, The Maxx, Pitt, Wetworks, Cyberforce, I was pretty much reading anything that came from the company, well, uh, except Stormwatch. Oops, my bad.

So Wednesday was the first time I had ever read a Stormwatch comic. Who are these people? The only dude I could attach myself too was The Martian Manhunter, but he seemed to be taking a backseat in the team and differing to some guy that doesn’t wear shoes. Then I find out that this character Apollo is the most powerful person on the planet and not Superman. Well shit, that’s news to me. Then some dude that looks like “The Gimp” from Pulp Fiction shows up at the end and is like Apollo’s BFF. Along the way there are some people in a place with lots of computers monitoring the Moon – as it is apparently getting ready to attack The Earth. Then we cut to two people in the mountains that find a giant horn-a-plenty. And then…ahhhh fuck it

to quote Roy Neary from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, “Well I got a couple of thousand goddamn questions, you know. I want to speak to someone in charge. I want to lodge a complaint. You have no right to make people crazy! What the hell is going on around here? Who the hell are you people? !!!”
