Variant covers by Trevor Hairsine

   The excitement of WorldStorm continues as Christos Gage (DEADSHOT,

TVs Numb3rs) and Doug Mahnke (JLA, TEAM ZERO) bring an incredible new

vision to this WildStorm Universe cornerstone!

   Originally a U.N. crisis intervention force with a global reach, StormWatch suffered a very visible and crippling blow following a catastrophe in New York City. With their limitations now exposed, facing budget cuts and internal gutting, former Weatherman Jackson King is tasked with a near-impossible mission: develop new methods of superpowered-being apprehension and containment on a shoestring budget. Gone are the fancy orbital satellites and matter-teleportation services, traded for a dingy office staffed with second-rate heroes and former villains to combat the growing crisis of post-human threats. Does humanity - and this Post Human Division - stand a chance?
