Stormwatch » Stormwatch #6 - The Dark Side, Finale released by DC Comics on April 2012.
This is what I have been waiting for. This issue was solid from start to finish. The first 5 issues seemed rushed, unconnected, just plain bad. This issue kept my interest the whole time, and for the first time, left me wanting more. I know the series is going to be starting a new arc with the next issue, so I am hoping that there are brighter days ahead for Stormwatch.
At this point of the new 52 I find myself liking Voodoo and Grifter so much that it is mostly pretty necessary to also be following along with events here. And that is not necessarily a bad thing, as the series has has been maintaining a decent level of interest thus far, even if it has not been outstanding at any point yet. This issue however is probably the best thus far, not so much for the action, but rather for how that action is conceived. While the others try to salvage what is left of...
You know, I've realized something. Miguel Sepulveda REALLY likes debris. Its something usually taken for granted, but in Stormwatch I ALWAYS see tons of debris. A wide variety of debris in huge amounts. In fact when I give out my New 52 Awards at the end of the month, I think I'm giving a Best Debris to Stormwatch, because the depiction of debris in this series has frequently been good enough to register as a positive thing by itself in my reviews. I've just never talked about it at this length....
