Stormwatch - Post Human Division - Armageddon #1 - WildStorm


Well, out of the 3 or 4 Armageddon issues that we've seen so far, we learned the most out of this one by far. This time Void decided to take a normal human in to the future to try to figure out what happened to the human race. She takes John Doran. And almost immediately he hooks up with Fahrenheit and then Stormwatch. It seems that whatever they found in Henry Bendix's bunker convinced the government that their team was needed and they ended up getting their funding back. Also, after his wife shot him, Jackson King's powers seemed to increase exponentially. So much so that in the future he's gone to wearing his Battalion armor at all times. With his powers increased it gives him control. But he also seems to be a man on the edge or insanity. Or obsession. We find out when Void comes back to pick up John that Jackson is watching and trying to get an analysis of Voids temporal energies. I'm thinking, he may be the problem. If he takes a team of supers back in to the past, trying to stop what has happened, it may actually be him that causes it. But that's just my guess. However, back in the present, John is going to try to do everything he can to prevent it. Including putting the PHD back together but, maybe, without the supers. "I want to tell you what I saw . . . and, hopefully, talk about what we can do to prevent it. And if we can't . . . what you can do to avenge me." The final chapter takes place in WildCATS. Which should be interesting, seeing as how that's Voids old team. And I'm sure, since it's the final chapter, we should be getting some more answers. Again, another story-arc that you can pretty much throw away the first couple chapters of, just read the last two, and not really lose anything in the translation. I am interested in what's going to happen next issue though.
