Yeah OK comic book art (especially of dudes) is rarely that sexy but it's the thought that counts.

Just finished the issue, really like it so far.

I'm glad that Ellis isn't falling into the trap of doing the same storylines from old Wildstorm and cranking out hardcore fanservice for nostalgiafags. Story is intriguing, looking forward to the rest.

>>90748305
>Angela Spica was an engineer
Heh

I am loving this series so much

My totally unasked for thoughts:

1) I really like the commitment to making the Wildstorm comic look completely cinematic. This isn't actually my preferred visual style but it is 100% Wildstorm and very visible here.

2) Love the plot knotting. This comes together a lot more than it did in the first issue. Love that something so straightforward ("superhero saves falling man") becomes this murderfuck nightmare once the WS forces get involved. And innocuous, too - Angela just *asked* her boss for help. None of this had to happen like it did, but we're in the shit now.

3) Zealot's voice isn't quite being how I'm used to it yet. I think from #2 this is more intentional than not. Zealot isn't from here after all (assuming that stays). I do really like how while the vocab is different Zealot and Grifter have similarities in how they're thinking and approaching this.

4) Total sucker for this kinda scene and motivation: >>90748458 >>90748473

I'm more eager to see where this is going than I was from the #1, and we're building the cast with all the familiar faces and it's going to come to this traincrash conclusion that I really want to see.

tl;dr - get hype

Barely a quarter of the bottle, anon.

>>90748442
Ayy

I wonder if we'll see Jackson King too, since Trelane appeared in this issue.

>>90748823
Call me when Warblade shows up.

This is actually really good so far. Really cinematic and I like how the motivations and urgency has been set up.

>>90749049
Anything has to be better than New 52 Warblade, right?

people were a little confused during #1 initial storytime.
Confusing Jacobm Marlowe with Spartain/Jack Marlowe.

Does anyone need reminders on:
Trelane-Christine Trelane/synergy Stormwatch.took over as Weatherman. U.N. advisory to the Authority. (her powers allowed activation of others powers.)
Kenesha-Savant.
Micheal Cray-Deathblow
Ivana-Ivana Baiul Cyborg. Head Tech of I.O. lead Dv:8. main villian of Gen13.
Henry Bendix. The weatherman. Stormwatch.
Cole Cash-Grifter
Adrianne-The Void
Lucy-Zealot.

>>90748525
The Bleed?

>>90749043
for a moment, I thought I Cray was King.

>>90749109
I don't like to think about that.

>>90749122
Don't forget Miles Craven

>>90749147
It brings to mind the dimension Elijah saw in that one issue of Planetary, but i'm probably way off.

I just can't believe that they actually got Ellis to commit to 24 issues of anything, plus the other four books he is launching in the next two years

>>90748370
>>90749250
>>90749122
Also they do call him John here. John Colt. Spartan.
Probably not a robot.

>>90749330
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

That's a countdown on the title page of the issue that he is supposed to be doing

I'm hoping Ellis sticks with it but I'll hold my applause for a while

>>90749743

>>90748360
What the hell have Ellis done to Savant?

He's not writing the others, just curating them.

from the thumbnail, it looked like it was trying to reference pic related. thought it was cool af for like a minute, but then i realized taht this is probably not what they meant. or maybe they did and i was right to begin with

>>90752771
see >>90748320
you right

>>90752834
OH FUCK NIGGA TAHT IS SOME PATRICIAN SHIT

do i have to read up on older wildstorm/authority stuff in order to read this and to better understand or to find out what teh characters are about?

>>90753202
you'll catch some references (i.e. character names and stuff) but otherwise no, this is meant to be standalone

>>90753202
>lack of capitalization

Okay, seriously. We need to enact a fucking purge of these goddamned casuals, because this is absolutely unacceptable.

I too, recognize a blank wall.

i thnik u need to get taht dick out of ur mouth

>>90753202
No, but you will enjoy it more if you know things about wildstorm

>>90753919
is tehre a /co/ recommended guide for wildstrom/stormwatch/authority shit?

>>90754036
Anything but fucking Wildcats3.0. "We" recently read through that and it was 18ish issues of nothing happening

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/WildStorm_Recommended_Reading

Don't be a cunt all your life mate.

So is this taking place in the mainline DCU? Is the Henry Bendix we see here the same dude we've been seeing in the Midnighter series?

>>90754512
No and no

>>90754256
>>90754301
>wanting /co/ to be a casual infested shithole
You just lost any right to complain about the over saturation of /tv/ content and /pol/ shit, because recs are what is causing that. Every other board sees that we have no standards, no barrier to entry in the community, and so they have no reservations about coming here to shitpost while we take it directly in the ass.

Kill yourself. You are why /co/ is so terrible.

>>90754538
take a chill pill faggot

>>90754301
thanks my g

>>90754275
The JSAnon went through a bunch of Wildstorm stuff, and I think did wildcats 3.0 as well. "We" must refer to the people who usually go in those threads

>>90754537
Cool, just wanted to make sure. I know DC has been playing fast and loose with its other imprints, so I'm glad Ellis isn't constrained by any sort of canon or anything.

>>90754643
Young Animal is technically in the DCU as an imprint but is unlikely to really have much cross over (did anyone storytime Cave Carson today?). Vertigo is mostly dead as it is, and the only thing that could be DCU is Lucifer, but that thing is barely connected to even the first series for that character.

The Wild Storm is its own thing. There are technically two Midnighters running around then, but who knows when he will appear in the DCU again since his miniseries ended

>>90754864
Orlando is writing Supergirl, and while it might sound cliche, having Apollo and by extension midnighter be a supporting character could be interesting.

>>90754538
No, /tv/ and /pol/ are what causes that. We need effective moderation of shitposting and baiting threads, not a crackdown on recs.

>>90748940
Thanks, OP. I'm digging this so far

>>90755611
>Thanks, OP. I'm digging this so far
You welcome anon.

will midnighter and apollo make an appearance? is this wild storm universe one of the universes listed in multiversity?

>>90748188
thx anon

>>90757547
No Problem.

>>90748360
>Pen in right hand
>Circles with left.

I have zero experience with Wildstorm so very little of this makes much sense.

>RoboLady saves man who fell out of a building.
>SHITSTORM for some reason.
>At least one organization wants to kill RoboLady for some reason.
>Other people dicking around doing god knows what with guy who was tossed out window originally... for some reason

I hope this picks up soon. It's pretty boring at the moment.

>>90758918
They explain the shitstorm is because the tech she used was supposed to be secret and now it has been exposed to the world and the different groups want her for their own purposes.

The window tossing was explained in the first one, you should probably read it so you'll have context for this issue.

>>90754216
>>90754538
ilu like I love Damifag, cranky (that is, a lot). Please never change.

>>90754603
This

>>90758918
There's plenty of capes punching villains and each other in previous incarnations of WS, which this appears to intentionally be differentiating itself from.

>>90748442
This page is fucking amazing; it's LITERALLY Lady Gaga's secret Illuminati messages!

Just for this I'll always look up to Ellis now!

Thanks for the storytime.

when?

>>90748188
Honestly, I'm not feeling this. There's a lot of compression, but a distinct lack of anything happening. I'm also kinda afraid that the character voices will just blend tohether over the long run.

>>90757543
Middy and Apollo are confirmed, albeit Ellis promised them to be really different from their classic versions.
This Earth is not listed in the Multiversity handbook so we can just assume it's not in the "Local Multiverse" but further out.

>>90748823
We all know you love knotting, Ellis. Now get off the internet forever.

>>90760897
Next issue is obviously the 'things kick off' issue and will lead to the titular WildC.A.T.

Oh cool, they're doing the Wildstorm characters again? What have I missed?

>>90763115
Everything published so far is in this thread. Warren Ellis is curating the whole imprint, like Way is for Young Animal. First book is "The Wild Storm" by Ellis, with at least two future spin-offs planned: a Deathblow book and a Wildcats book.

The whole thing is a redo of the Wildstorm universe and right now it's more low-key but lots of hints that old factors will be returning soon.

Is this any good /co/?
Do I need to read anything before this?
Completely out of the blue for wildstorm, most I know of it was Grifter in Future's end

>>90748220
Is the implication that Cole's boxers say TOMCAT?

>>90748930
>The villain.
Bendix is the hero we do not deserve to have

>>90762882
There were blank entries in Multiversity, not sure all were filled in yet.

So is Majestic going to be black? Assuming all the relations between characters remain the same from the old Wildstorm his daughter is brown but her mother is white. So Majestic would be dark skinned

>>90754538
Yeah, because reading hundreds to thousands of pages off a rec list is absolutely pig disgusting casual. Reading Giffen's Midnighter isn't being a Truman, it's just stupidly masochistic and a rec list would have kept me from buying that shit in trade when it came out.

>>90763687
S/Truman/trufan
Also, you're a faggot.

>>90763687
>and a rec list would have kept me from buying that shit in trade when it came out.
If you base your opinions on what other strangers you know absolutely nothing about are saying then you're a retard.

>>90763184
>Is this any good /co/?
Yes

>Do I need to read anything before this?
No

>>90760252
You Welcome anon.

>>90763547
Maybe. As an alternative crack theory. maybe the Daemonite-style possession is going to apply to both sides now.

Thanks for storytiming OP. This book seems interesting, but I have no fucking clue about the Wildstorm universe at all apart from Grifter being a dude with guns, and a little about Midnighter.

Ellis is a good storyteller though (when he actually tells stories that is) so I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

>>90763459
Of Course.

>>90758918
You don't need to be familiar with WildStorm to understand this, you're just bad at using context to figure things out
