(No Spoilers)
This title is proof there's no justice in the world. This title should not be getting cancelled. Edginton and Fernandez have done nothing but deliver compelling, meaningful stories during their run. This book almost takes The Authority for the best World's End title.
Why is it so good? Stormwatch probably made it out of Armageddon the least affected, just above the Wildcats. They even have more power that The Authority right now. But as we saw with last issue's explosive (literally) cliffhanger, Stormwatch just got their teeth kicked in. You feel the desperation in this issue as everything seems likes it's about to end for the team. As the solicit says, "Skywatch is burning. Stormwatch is down". You're really made to feel that the team is not going to make it. And there are some great moments here. Fahrenheit makes an almost cruel choice as she saves a refugee trapped under a beam. Flint has an outstanding moment where she showcases her super strength as she tries to help some refugees. But the real shocker is when we see further development in Fuji's story. His is by far the WTF moment of the issue.
Another thing mentioned in the solicit are the Knights of Khera. Who are they? We don't know yet. And it sucks that we only have one issue of Stormwatch left to find out! The Wildstorm crew has stated that we'll be seeing characters from Stormwatch PHD in other titles. So even though they're losing their showcase title, we'll still keep up with them. And if history has shown us anything, it's that Stormwatch is resilient. Post Human Division was their 3rd incarnation. And if we don't see PHD back together again, I'm sure we'll see another incarnation soon. Or perhaps the return of a past Stormwatch team? (Team Achilles anyone?)
