Many thanks to Ain't It Cool News for the following preview of Stormwatch #1, along with comments from Paul Cornell. I've included only a couple of excerpts below, so be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the article to head on over to the site where you can read much, much more. Do you plan on buying this comic book when it goes on sale tomorrow? Which other "New 53" issues will you be picking up? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

"New readers start here. There's lots of fun things I could tease you with, but as to 'need': nothing at all. We start with Adam, who's meant to be the leader, but whose brain is scrambled, and whose orders are starting to sound increasingly random. He's sent his people out on two different missions already when a third pops up, and it starts to become obvious that the next couple of days are going to be his biggest test, with something that's getting wildly out of control. You get to meet all our characters as we get into that and things fall apart. I think it's got a very different flavour, kind of Torchwood with super powers. It's got a science fiction feel to it, it does SF science. It's about big characters in suits trying to control alien mysteries while keeping it all hidden from an increasingly large hero community."














And many thanks to Cosmic Book News for the followng Superman related teaser which puts the spotlight on this months upcoming titles.

Someone doesn't know his comics...

This is going to be DCs best title right after Action Comics. And if Snyder doesn't disappoint maybe Batman.

"Stormwatch" was one of the first comics i´ve read in the 90´s featuring computer coloring and glossy paper. Loved Fuji´s coloring.

Then it evolved in to the indescribable "THE AUTHORITY".

Even "Authority" leftovers and parodies look good (see Superman VS Elite).

There´s nothing mysterious over it.

"Torchwood with super powers"--so lots on man-on-man sex with capes, huh?

Looks good. DO NOT like the characters. Too Generic, too Marvel. Nothing iconic about them at all except maybe for Martian Manhunter, Apollo and Nightlighter or whatever his name is.

@ ThatCOLDblackCLOUD

you've reported me for asking where captain marvel & powergirl are or was it because i didn't share the same opinion as you on how the comic looks.

very sad.

@marvel72: Don't be sad. You've got a trolly thingie now. lol ;)

@MrEko: Yeah, he's still gay. And he'll meet Midnighter for the first time on this ish, I think.

The art work looks very 80's AND cheaply done.
The characters are boring AND uninteresting.
The story/plot is entirely tiring And childish

Moscow? Really?
I am not impressed.

"Okay this is me connecting to the Alien Language Processing Lobe that got lodged in my brain..."

A.L.P.L. similar to Apple. FAIL.

WTFHITS?

@ ThatCOLDblackCLOUD

i wasn't saying i'm sad,it was aimed at you meaning that you're a sad person because you reported me for not sharing the same opinion as you.

anyway not to worry it'll be gone in a few hours.

So, everyone and their momma kicks Superman's ass in the DC new Coke? And Superman fans are happy about it? Ok...

@MrEko WHo's ass did Superman kick? He started a fight with Hal, for no reason at all. And I'm sure DC will have Batman kicking his ass on JL #2.

The StormwWatch/Authority characters are okay, but I hate the idea of them running around in the DCU. Hell, Apollo and Midnighter were created to be Wildstorm's Superman and Batman. (i.e. What if Superman and Batman were superviolent, gay lovers with ugly costumes?) Having them exist in the same universe in pointless. Every other solar-powered Superman-level character makes the real Superman less unique - that's why they retired Supergirl in the '80s. Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, Power Girl, Apollo... Why not throw in Majestic and the Sentry (Marvel's not using him anyway) and put them in a team book called the Super Solar Squad?

... Uh-oh. I hope Dan DiDio never reads this.

I would like to see the real Batman kick Highlighter's ass, though. After calling him out for ripping him off.

@MrEko to me his reaction was the one of a jersey shore douche, i stated that before.

"Oh, no, he said something..."

@MrEko lol, I know, man. But, just his demeanor in those couple of pages made me feel like he could've just as well said this...

Reporting people b/c they express a negative opinion is lame, full stop.

Actually, Midnighter is a bitchin' character, one of the most exciting characters in a while with real solo potential in the new 52 universe.

As a new reader to the DCU, I am very excited to pick up this title! The Martian Manhunter is one of my favorites and I am glad that he is paired with some heroes that I have not had the chance to familiarize myself with.

Should be an interesting read!

Midnighter in the wildstorm universe is WAAAAY beyond Batman. Obviously a knock off but in a random encounter he would probably destroy Bats in a fight. I've always wanted to see them duke it out. Also Jack Hawksmoor is a badass through and through(SERIOUS SERIOUS power behind his city manipulation abilities). ya'll DC folk need to let these guys into your heart they are going to add a nice richness to the universe.

Apollo can't beat Supes. It said it was photoshopped anyway. Probably by his lover the Midnighter.
