What are the schedules for the books? WildCats is shipping bi-monthly right?

I know the Morrison duo are bi-monthly. Not sure about the rest.

Does that mean alternating issues ? smile

Meh, MN'er doesn't need a solo run. He's sweet, but not that sweet.

I'll continue with the Authority, but that's probably it. Might have to look into Gen13 though, because Cait Fairchild is the hottest comic book women ever. *drools*

It does. Wildcats launches in September with Authority in October. Of course, you never know with Jim Lee on art how late things will get.

We'll see. I'm sure I'll pick up some early issues to judge for myself.

It's comics. Nothing ever really goes away. Barry Allen just showed up (albeit briefly) and The Avengers were gone for all of a few weeks after being "Dissasembled". It was only a matter of time. roll eyes (sarcastic)

I hope Stormwatch and The Authority can exist side by side; They seem the sort of team to CONSTANTLY be at odds.

DarkCrawler
Never interested in Wildstorm, but I really have to check Gen 13, Authority, WildC.A.T.S and Midnighter with those lineups. They look as good as the new X-Men lineups...

These truly are golden times for comic book fans...

I'd love Weinberg. Vaughn or Simons to have a go at the X-men.
Whats Carey done b4 ??????

Juntai
Glad to see this actually turned a few eyes that way, myself I'll check into Wildcats and probably Authority.

But seriously Azarrelo, Carrey, Morrison, Ennis? They have some one of the best lineups for writers across the board of anyone right now, and the artists are all fairly good too . . .

Should be good times ahead for Wildstorm.

Here's a question:

In my copy of CA: Armageddon there's a small ad for "Planetary: Crossing Worlds" near the back. It has both the Authority and some JLA people on it. Was there a crossover I'm unaware of?

I can't believe how long Wildcats was delayed. That was the one I was really looking forward to.

manorastroman
there was a planetary crossover collection called "crossing worlds". one was planetary/jla, one was planetary/authority, and one was planetary/batman (i think this one was drawn by cassaday). none of them are very good.

Ah. So the Authority never actually crosses with the JLA. Probably just as well....they'd have them job.

Yeah, it's like they disappeared.

sad

xmarksthespot
It was supposed to be a bimonthly... it's now been a third of a year. They better not keep this sort of scheduling... 3 issues a year... sad

On a happier note, I just read the first 3 issues of Welcome to Tranquility and it's pretty good. It's sort of like metahuman Florida - where old heroes and villains go to live out their Golden years. Good concept, clever writing, nice art.

DigiMark007
Hrm. 3 issues a year would be horrible.

I'm currently trying to "complete" my Authority collection though, which should be fun. All I'm missing is Stormwatch stuff, Jenny Sparks: Secret History..., and the Planetary cross-over.

But my other love (Spidey) has too many comics. It's possible to own every Authority comic though (and all their showings in other stuff), so it'll be fun to say I have everything. Might take a little while though....I can't just just buy probably $80 worth of comics all at once.

I edited the title of this to make it the official WS thread, since we didn't have one otherwise, but this was the most WS-ish thread out there.

Anyone else reading Number of the Beast? It's not a team book, but the (presumably last) in a recent series of 6-8 issue events that are leading up to a gigantic apocalypse for WS Earth. Armageddon and that one with the 3 chicks (I forget the name) were the events that led to this.

In any case, it promises to make a lasting change on pretty much every major book in WS (Stormwatch, Authority, Wildcats, Gen13, etc.)

Well, as I mentioned in the post above, Number of the Beast is changing all the major titles. They'll be jumping off soon. Recent runs on the various Stormwatch titles have been entertaining if you're familiar with the characters. But all will be in a new chapter, so to speak, once NotB ends.

I purposely avoided the Authority spoilers, but I'm excited to read the new post-apocalyptic arc. I just hope Doctor doesn't go MIA. Midnighter's Armageddon issue alluded to him disappearing after so much suffering on the planet, so I'm a bit worried.

DigiMark007
Anybody finish reading Number of the Beast besides me? I actually liked it. A very different story, with a nice wrap-up at the end after some confusion for the first few issues.

The one with Ha? that was cancelled.

DigiMark007
If you're referring to Morrison's 2-issue run on Authority, then yeah, it was cancelled a while ago.

They have a post-armageddon arc coming up soon, as do all the major teams. World's End, I think it's called.

Juntai
That sucks, I would have stayed on board with those creative teams without question, I collected the issues of Wildcats and Authority, and now they seem worthless. sad

I also stayed on Deathblow for an arc or two under Azarello but it felt way too decompressed, and I couldn't get into the character much.

I also collected first couple arcs of Midnighter, but I couldn't seem to find a direction the series was heading.


Though admittedly, Majestic is the character I'm best interested in, I read most if not all of his last series, which was rather short. And I thought his appearance in that Jim Lee Wildcats issue with the new armor looked badass.

SevenShackles
how does New Dynamix factor into the wildstorm uni? i noticed they sort of brought back Union and im interested if anyone has actually been reading this book and if it has a future / effects any other books.

real cool black superhero eek!

I...only recognize 2 people on that pic. New Dynamix, you said? Sounds destined for a short run followed by a cancellation, if you ask me.

Though WS has been doing great in recent years with various franchises they've acquired the rights to, as well as minis for various characters and teams that sell well. The Morrison Authority run notwithstanding, they've been pumping out more and more stuff for a few years now. It's bound to reach a halt at some point, but for the moment there's a lot of teams and characters around. Not sure whether I'll follow Wildcats of Stormwatch (in addition to Authority) but things look promising.

its 1-5 issues i think. i was just curious if anyone else gave it a chance. i honestly never thought id see Union ever again and suddenly there he is in this comic. i was under the impression people liked him. i might be wrong. but once i saw him i had hopes that his role in WS would expand a little. maybe see a little Apollo VS union Action.

sadly i dont think ill ever see this comic ever again after it wraps itself up. confused

Yeah, Union never really caught on. Had a brief appearance in the doomed "Monarchy" story arc (they were a new team started by Jackson King). I'm not even sure what his powers are, currently, since he had a sort of rebirth after willingly killing himself because he was possessed (or something along those lines).

humm i figured new dynamix wouldnt show up again but on the last issue they revealed Tao with void on a chain. and then they mention Tao in 'Lynch: one last thing chapter 1' that was im wildcats #1.

they built black halo up for something "And he'll be the catalyst for an underground socialist SPB uprising" and in the little visions of this future it was shown in a apocalytic setting resembling whats currently going on in the WildStorm uni.

im just hoping all this would show in other places lol. or its gonna be one of those untold stories or something menitoned off hand laughing out loud

Deathstroke
Could someone give me a quick summary of Number of the Beast? I kind of read some of it and from what I gathered the government used a crashed spaceship to clone the High in order to use as weapons, but it turns out that it was a Daemonite plan all along or something.

Is that kind of close?

Somewhat.

For reference to others, The High is a Superman type who seems to be close to Majestic level. He comes from sort of the "Golden Age" of Wildstorm, though WS didn't exist back then (the super-teams reference him as an oldy a few times), and represents the shining ideal of humanity....more boyscout than badass. Until recently, at least.

The High died crashing into the forcefield around Stormwatch's space station. They collected his goo/blood/whatever and he eventually regenerated, but yes the gov't took control of it and made an army of High clones. They were to be deployed as a failsafe against holocaust-type events, most likely including other metahumans. Presumably, all the Daemonite guy did was modify or remove the inhibitors which kept them in check, since the plan itself was of human origin. So the Daemonites were searching for a way to destroy humanity, but exploited this program to do it, but didn't create it from scratch.

The spark that lit the keg was another superhuman program which had a bunch of metas (also Golden Age holdovers, lost to WS earth for decades) trapped in a virtual world, unknown to them. The High was entered into the program, became aware of the situation, broke out and started causing hell. High releasing the metas from containment is what triggered the launching of the High clones, which exploded simultaneously in low earth orbit, causing untold amounts of destruction and climate change on earth.

Fallout: Jenny had to contain a new universe, the one powering the Carrier, inside herself and travel elsewhere with it, and Doctor (if MN'ers Armageddon arc holds true) goes insane from all the destruction and death (he is linked to the earth). The Carrier has crashed and the Authority is in bad shape. Majestic has gone insane, and is trying to be a dictator who restores the glory of the planet. He is currently fighting the Wildcats for resources. No word from the other titles yet.

Scoobless
So were the High and the other old heroes ever featured in WS comics before NOTB?

I read the story and didn't know who anyone was until the Authority arrived on the scene ... frankly, they were the only reason I read it in the first place

Also, I take it the High is who Jenny Sparks references in the first Authority arc when Apollo chases one of Gamorra's clone warriors around the world and almost splatters over his island's shield. She says "Stormdoor quality force field" and "I saw a superhuman of your class hit one and vaporize

DigiMark007
Yeah, that would be him.

The High was featured in an old pre-Authority Stormwatch arc, where he came out of a self-imposed hibernation to start making noise. That's where he crashed into the station's forcefield. That, I believe, was his first appearance, but when they talked about him it was talking about someone who had been around for decades doing the hero thing. So it was WS creating a Silver Age for itself.

The others were in the virtual reality program since the 40's. They've been mentioned or alluded to a couple times that I can remember, but Number of the Beast was their first true appearance.

High doesn't have many impressive feats to speak of because of limited showings, but they talk about him like he's Majestic's equal or near-equal, so he's up there in power.

Scoobless
So Majestic is still kicking about? I thought he died after his last solo series.

No, he's definitely around. Couldn't tell you how, though, since I never really followed his solo stuff.

Boy Blue
Originally posted by Scoobless

In the last issue, he prevented the Daemonites taking over the earth. Past-Majestros will go ahead and rescue everybody from the world-kidnapping ship, and will find everything returned to normal when the ship puts them back. There will no longer be the one year absence of Majestros that allowed the Daemonites to take over, because Future-Majestros spent his last few minutes defeating Helspont.

At least, the way I figure it.

So Majestros isn't dead. Half of his series, however, is canon to everybody but him (but technically are still feats for him, since he did them... and then undid them with a time loop).

Scoobless
But didn't he become terminally ill due to his initial dimension hopping/time traveling (or something)?

Boy Blue
Originally posted by Scoobless

Future Majestic did, and he died, but he prevented the Daemonites taking over the world in his final act, which prevented Majestic from having to go back in time unshielded after pwning Hadrian... which prevented the illness.

Scoobless
I really don't remember the details too well, so I'll take your word for it.

Thanks for the summary Digi. I wanted to make sure I knew what was going on before I read Wildcats.

Not a problem. Smurph PM'd me with a WS tourney question as well. It's fun being the forum's default go-to guy for an entire universe.

...couldn't help him much, though, which was a bit disappointing.

Though I'll likely be following Wildcats, Stormwatch, and Authority now. So I'll have the big bases covered. To this point it was only the last two, not WC. And there's the lesser-known teams like Gen13 and Wetworks, which are a bit too niche even for me. I'm familiar with them, but don't regularly follow them.

Deathstroke
Did anyone else think that Majestic looked like the ultimate badass in Wildcats?

Endrict Nuul
In the new Authority world ends arc.......if Angie can fix the carrier, would that heal Jack completely???

DigiMark007
Originally posted by Endrict Nuul

Probably not. His connection is to cities, so while the Carrier can act as one, it's not like 1 city would make all the difference. And "fixing" it would require a power source equivalent to a caged baby universe (essentially a Big Bang). It's not happening without a massive plot device.

Endrict Nuul
Could Doctor create a big bang somehow?? or is that too far out of his power range....

DigiMark007
Create, possibly. He once teleported a human bomb to an unborn dimension (essentially, an area of non-existence) and it created a Big Bang (I guess we're to assume that the lack of existence rearranged the rules of spatial logic, and made the guy a lot more powerful an explosion than he would have been in this universe.

But he can't just create that kind of power from nothing. He's not that good.

But controlling it is another matter entirely. I'm not sure how they'd harness it if they managed to create it. Once containment was breached, only Jenny could hold it in herself, and it's presumably really hard for her.

Also, if MN'ers Armageddon issue is correct, Doctor is missing, presumed insane from the massive loss of life on Earth (since he's connected to the Earth). He wouldn't be able to do much of anything right now.

Endrict Nuul
In Number of the Beast 8 like page 4. Yeah, when they attacked the Carrier and it was going down. Jenny trys to save the core and I think she is part of it now. The Doctor was trying real hard to not let the Carrier crash. The Doc passed out and thats the last time we see him.

DigiMark007
Right, but MN'ers Armageddon issue actually happens after that. He travels to the future and they fill him in on what happened so that he can try to prevent it. He doesn't, obviously.

But like I said, if it remains canon, and we have no reason to believe it doesn't, the Doctor goes insane from all the death and disappears.

Not much, actually. I think they collected all the Armageddon stuff into a single arc. It's the Void going around and sending someone from every major team into the future so that they can hopefully prevent the cataclysm from happening. There's not a ton of new info, just occasionally nuggets like the Doctor thing I mentioned.

Originally posted by Kinkin

They're actually linking a lot of the team books together, and a new one comes out each week (Authority, Stormwatch, Gen13, Wildcats), in an attempt to get people buying weeklies. They also have usually 4-part mini-stories in the back of the books that eventually tie into the bigger story arcs of the characters, which encourages readers to buy all of them. A savvy ploy, and I've been doing it, though not Gen13.

Stormwatch and Authority have been more closely linked. If you like one, it's worth picking up the other. WC's and Gen13 are more doing their own thing.

Kinkin
Thanks, I used to read Wildstorm in the 90s so its always interesting reading Wildstorm again. I read Stormwatch, Authority, Wildcats but not Gen13, a bunch of solo ones as well but they are my main ones.

What happened to that big world ending event, Worldstorm or something.

Kinkin
If anybody could tell me what else I missed from Wildstorm, anything important I would be greatful because I got no idea what I missed.

Symmetric Chaos
Well they blew up the universe . . .

Kinkin
Well I'll be damned.

Digi
Yeah, basically Armageddon happened, the world is a charred husk, and the teams are left picking up the pieces. A guy named Tao (an old Team 7 villain) is pulling the strings in the background with potentially universal-level power. Majestic went crazy, and most of the teams' heavy hitters are either dead or MIA.

Kazenji
Has anybody been getting that new Resident Evil comic ?

and if so is it any good.

Kinkin
Damn...I need to see this for myself.

Has Jenny got her old name back or is she stuck with that stupid new one?

Kinkin
I have read all I wanted to now from Wildstorm and I am pretty up to date. I am going over the Wildcats and its great to see how its improved over the years. The storytelling is allot better than it was at the start.
