There's a lot of stuff going on with StormWatch, and it looks like it's all about to hit the fan. Last issue Jackson sent Winter down into the middle of the Night Tribes. I think his intentions were to take out their leader and maybe some of the people around him. Well . . he got a little more than he expected. With all the vampires and werewolves surrounding him, Winter freaked. "I wiped them out . . exterminated them and left behind a crater of black glass almost eight hundred miles across!" So, he's not very happy with Jackson right now. Meanwhile, the doctor and Hellstrike have been working on trying to revive Fuji. They're also frustrated with Jackson. They start going through a roll-call of the stuff he's done lately, " . . wanting me to keep a lid on this thing with Toshiro . . lied to Christine about contacting the Authority. Had spies on the Carrier only he knew about . . dumping that sick Australian kid in the middle of nowhere to die . . dropping Winter into that nightmare . . it's not good. S'not right!" Which is when Winter comes walking in . ."No, it isn't . . it isn't at all. So, the question is, what are we going to do about it?" Also, the High . . remember when he dropped of that girl in that meta-free zone? She slipped him a note saying that they needed his help? Well the gas chamber that he went into last issue was to turn him human. The problem is, he only has 10 days to reverse the process. After that . ." . there will be progressive organ failure, the proliferation of aggressive cancerous matter and ultimately loss of all genetic cohesion. You will be conscious and fully aware most of the time. Death will be rapid but excruciating." But he had to do it in order to get into the zone. Now that he's human, he just hopes he can do something to help. And all the frustration with Jaskson may be moot. The Watch Hall has found some more survivors in Norway. They go down to get them, but what they don't know is that they're Kheran patriots. They killed the human survivors and took their place. Once they get on board, they get into key positions and then suicide bomb the whole ship. As the issue ends we see pieces of SkyWatch, and personnel, flying out into space. Man . . these guys just can't catch a break. Ian Edginton is really doing a great job with these issues. I really like the way he's handling all of these characters. My only question is . . is it still StormWatch without SkyWatch? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Leandro Fernandez is also doing a great job with the pencils. I can't believe we're up to issue #22 already. Whodathunkit?
