Stormwatch vs. Evil Stormwatch

VILLAINOUS MOMENTS

Time To Choose Sides

~Excerpt from Stormwatch #16 (2013)

Stormwatch is under assault from...Stormwatch! Or should we say "Evil Stormwatch"?

Although many believed Harry Tanner, The World's Greatest Swordsman, to be dead, he's secretly been planning his return to Stormwatch as their leader. The problem, however, is Midnighter. Harry knows that he could see through his disguise - as a Shadow Lord - and warn the others.

Unfolding in Stormwatch #16, the forces of Apollo, Midnighter, Jenny Quantum, Engineer, Jack Hawksmoor, and The Projectionist are going to be tested for loyalty. This will break them apart. Who has sided with Tanner? And who will survive?

Stormwatch: Good, Bad, or what?

~Stormwatch #10 (2012)

In the modern era, we've been increasingly faced with conflicts of good, evil, and decisions of morality; no longer are superheroes the "good guys" because they were capes and don't rob banks. It's becoming much more complex.

In Stormwatch #10, the same scenario is playing out: this is an organization that has existed for centuries, run by a mysterious "Shadow Cabinet". Although their goal is to protect the earth from alien invasion and threats - noble in purpose and scope - it turns out that they've conducted assassinations, replaced and rewritten histories, and taken a very totalitarian perspective when conducting their business.

As you read this issue, the question will undeniably surface in your thoughts: Are these heroes on the right side of good or are they a worse threat than the ones they fight?
