StormWatch #24 - WildStorm

The Kherans in Finland . . the ones who camouflaged themselves and attacked StormWatch, have decided that King and his crew are enough of a threat to take on face to face. The High used one of his machines to make himself human, and then went behind the masking wall to see what was going on. Basically, a Kheran warship, the Red Blade had come through the Bleed and set up shop in Finland. Long story short, their plan is to turn off the Earth's magnetic poles, let the radiation from the sun cauterize the Earth, then turn the poles back on and terraform the Earth to their liking. Obviously King can't let them do that, so he sacrifices SkyWatch in order to destroy the Red Blade. However, I'm sure their leader, Sebastian isn't dead. He's a Kheran warlord, much like Majestros, so . . I'm sure it'll take a lot more than blowing up his ship to take him down. It seems the King and the rest of StormWatch will be setting up shop with the High in his Rocky Mountain retreat. It's every bit as impressive as SkyWatch, if not more, but . . it not how they're used to operating. It's going to be interesting to see where the team goes from here. And how can the Kherans continue to hide now that King knows whats going on behind the masking wall. I have a feeling that we're just starting a new chapter with this team. Ian Edginton and Leandro Fernandez have done a terrific job with this book . . so far. Now we just have to see what the future holds.
