I'm a little frustrated with StormWatch and the Authority right now. They're crossing over into each other's books and . . it's not coming across very well. It's not really the story . . per se. It's the way they're handling it. You know how when a story goes back and forth between book, there's always a little recap before you get to the new information. Just in case there's a reader that's not picking up both books. This is the part that gets me to. The cross the story over because the want the reader to pick up both book. They want to sell more books. Right? But, they write the story so that if you're not picking up both books . . you won't miss anything. What the hell's the purpose of that? Either you're going to do a cross-over and have the readers pick up the book, or not. You can't have it both ways. Most of this issue I felt like I already read it. Why? Because I did. It's almost the exact same story that ran through the last issue of the Authority. The only difference is they show the story from some of StormWatch's characters perspectives instead of from the Authority. But really, it's the exact same story. We learn a little bit more about Fuji's condition in this issue. And that King's got Link and Hellstrike working on helping to get him 'fixed'. But that's about it. Oh yeah, there's 2 pages at the end where the High takes some more refugees to the camp where they have the masking wall so 'supers' can't get in. I mean, they caused the end of the world. Nobody really trusts them. Anyways, a friend of his, Ava, a child, comes out to see him. She says she misses him. They have a moment and then she goes back into the camp, and he flies away. But as he's flying away he finds a piece of crumpled up paper in his hand that Ava put there. All it says is "Help us". So other than those few pieces of information . . that's the only thing that was really 'new' this issue. Why didn't they just send us a panthlet? They could've save a lot of paper. Whatever!
