It’s pretty good for a superhero story. I don’t know. I don’t really read superhero comics anymore or have much interest in doing so, so I don’t know how much of this is a me problem. The art is gorgeous and some of the spectacle is exciting. But it feels like some of the thorny political context Stormwatch was at least trying to take on, if not succeeding, has pretty much disappeared in favour of the big sweeping action story. It presents an irritatingly uncomplicated vision of the world where are problems genuinely can be solved by incredibly overpowered heroes beating shit up and being borderline fascistic in their exercise of authority (even if it’s for the “right” reasons). I know Ellis often seems critical of authority in his other work, and perhaps there’s some criticism here I’m not seeing, but it just seems pretty simplistic and devoid of nuance.
