Heh heh, the Lost Ark is considered to be as important as Jenny S's suit.

I didn't notice the Lost Ark there!

So, if Stormwatch is mostly protecting humanity from alien threats...and the Ark of the Covenant is there...

O_O

it's cracking me up that Apollo's got this shiny new costume they keep putting on all the covers, but it's 5 issues in and he's still not wearing it. Or much else. Not that I'm complaining. Ahem.

This is fun, and I'm buying it, but I wish I liked it as much as I want to. It's good, but I realise I'm mostly buying it 'cause I miss another book, which is sort of meh.

I actually think it'd be great if this was his costume from now on.

I wonder if there'll be a story about how Apollo and Midnighter are urged to come out publicly to be gay role models, but they don't want to because they don't necessarily want to be in the spotlight, so they're caught between responsibility and tactical advantage.

Hm. Has that story ever been done anywhere?

I want to try and like this series. I really do. It's got a lot of elements that I'd love.

Unfortunately, a lot of the costume designs are atrocious. Midnighter, specifically. I just can't get past all the stupid spikes. Especially the chin spike. I mean...what the hell, man? What the hell was wrong with his trenchcoat look? It was fine!

If I wanted a really quick way to change the costume without actually conceding I was wrong in making it that way in the first place: have someone punch the spikes off of him. Seriously, one good punch to the chin, and at least that atrocious chin spike is gone.

This. If the idea is that they don't want him looking too much like Batman, here's what they can do:

- Black trenchcoat.

- Utility belt.

- Shades, so that he doesn't look too much like Butcher from The Boys.

so, is that guy still trying to kill Adam-1? Because if the current writer was staying on I'd expect a twist in the next issue or so where we find out that this guy is merely helping Adam consolidate control by tricking the team into rallying behind him. But Adam-1 hasn't done much so far, as a person he comes across as Batman as his most dickish with Tony Stark at his most skeavy mixed in and we're getting a new writer so I can see him getting a quick exit.

It's mentioned in the preview pages that Adam One didn't really die, but rather became part of the Shadow Cabinet.

From Milestone? They didn't all disappear come DCNU, with the exception of Static Shock?

From: [personal profile] filthysize
We don't know if the Milestone characters are part of it yet, but this version of Stormwatch certainly borrows their "covert" premise from Shadow Cabinet, so it's revealed in this issue that SC is actually the organization that started and provides funding for Stormwatch.

From: [personal profile] darkknightjrk
More than likely not, unless they've been REALLY revamped. The being in the first scan that says that Hawksmoor has sex with wells? That's one of the Shadow Cabinet--they're the guys in charge of and fund Stormwatch.

Y'know somehow I figured Midnighter for a Michael.

Between everyone's names I kinda figured it'd be another biblical name. I figured it'd be a funny thing if it were done.

Apollo: Andrew
Engineer: Angie somewhat like Angel.
Adam-1: Well, Adam.
Jack: Something like Jacob.

Though Jenny and John don't fit and I don't think we know Projectionist's name yet. But hey.

Lukas is the German (and some other languages) version of Luke, as in "The Gospel of", if that helps.

Lucas is such a terrible name for this character.
And gurrl, with a face like that, you better keep your mask on. (Not that I need them to be hot, the art is just pretty wonky there).

Also, does this have anysemblance of a plot yet, as opposed to random stuff happening without explanation..? Man, Demon Knights is so much better. Speaking of which, I bet Adam One turns out to be Merlin.

Yes. If nothing else, I've always kind of liked the fact that they're clearly battle-hardened dudes at least in their early 40s, instead of a bunch of pretty teenage boys.

For me, he's essentially Daniel Craig (I'm not sure his natural hair color, referring to one of the previous appearances he was obviously blonde).

It's probably colored that way just so you can tell them apart. I mean look at those two panels they have side by side. Total sameface.

Mark Millar's foisted enough shitty ideas on the world that we shouldn't be going out of our way to walk back the one or two actually clever ones he's ever had.

Technically, Midnighter was a redhead. He dyed his hair in The Authority.

I hope his hair's dyed here, too. It was always a personality quirk that tickled me.
