Cool book. And cool concept. Basically, Stormwatch is downsizing due to budget cuts. But, it still recognizes the need to have a system in place to handle meta-human incidents. And Jackson King is still going to play a major role in all this. This issue is basically about Jackson hand picking his team. A few weeks ago, NYPD aswered a simple squatting call, to an old abandoned theatre. It was anything but. It turned out it was a group of meta-humans meeting, under the guidance of Lord Defile, Slaughterhouse Smith and the Walking Ghost. Needless to say it turned into a bloodbath. "Over 400 people died that day, including a member of Stormwatch and 43 cops." With all of Stormwatch's budgets cuts impending, "we can take an innovative approach to post-human threats. Normal human operatives trained to combat post-human threats." King's new team consists of, so far, John Doran, the only cop to survive the incident, Lauren a.k.a. Fahrenheit, Dino Manolis the Machinist, Ms. Durst a.k.a. Georgeous, Elizabeth Rowan, Dr. Shaw a.k.a. the Monstosity, and Liam Mensdoza a Stormforce agent called "Paris". We get to see King's interaction with all of these people, and how they survived that day. So we kinda' get a feel for why he's picking them for the team. Next month, hopefully, we'll get to see what they can all do together.
