Outside of Planetary, and the new Wildstorm book Ellis is currently writing, are any of the Wildstorm books worth reading?

Point blank and Sleeper from Brubaker were pretty good.
There is also Ellis The Authority in case you haven't read it yet.

I forgot about that. I need to re-read it. What about WildCATS or Stormwatch?

Wildcats, ex machina, automatic Kafka, a god somewhere.
>>93711090
Ex Machina is Wildstorm? Is it canon with Planetary, Authority, etc?
>>93710873
>Stormwatch
Never read it myself but i heard Ellis run was good (you might start noticing a pattern here)
Also read A Man Called Kev and it's sequles by Garth Ennis.
Read Automatic Kafka.
>>93711120
No, neither are Automatic Kafka and A God Somewhere. For a time WS published original creator stories aside from main-line books.
Gen13 is just the best
Can we have a Wildstorm thread?
What is your favorite series?

From what little I've read of the WildStorm books, Planetary. Authority had cool ideas, but I wasn't a huge fan of the wanton use of vulgarity, and Ex Machina felt weird to me.

These few are really more like Vertigo books that had Wildstorm on them for some reason. I think Astro City and Arrowsmith, which are both excellent, are in that same boat.

Ellis' Stormwatch was practically the prologue of Authority. The seeds were all there.
Yes it was fucking great.

Automatic Kafka IS tho. It featured the National Park Service from Casey's Wildcats run and the super-team returns in the Intimates, which is also a Wildstrom Universe book.

So what was the deal with the "Evil Fantastic Four" anyway?
