The experimental subjects code-named Apollo and Midnighter have broken cover. Combat-optimized superhumans are now loose on the Earth.

The final issue. The final act. IO has betrayed the world, and Skywatch wants to burn it. The only people in the middle are Jenny Mei Sparks’ ragtag team of wounded orphans of the secret world. The storm has hit. This is how it ends.

The storm of accidents, deaths, mistakes, confusion and anger has led to this. Miles Craven has lost his grip and Henry Bendix has lost his mind. Angie SpicaÕs journey is ending. And so is life on Earth.

Skywatch intensifies its preparation for war, increasing its attacks on the planet. For some of these conflict zones, SkywatchÕs greatest threat is not IO or conventional forces, but the people who escaped from its own experimentation camps. And the four people in London whom it knows little about, but who are preparing to take steps to alter the balance of the worldÉ

All Angela Spica did was save someoneÕs life. And now hers is over. The rogue engineer lies bleeding in a place she hopes nobody will find - but sheÕs wrong. The people embedded in the secret power structures of the world are tracking her. Skywatch. Halo. International Operations. A covert operative called Grifter. If only she hadnÕt unknowingly foiled an assassination planned by her boss. If only her boss wasnÕt the one person more interested in the EngineerÕs transhuman implants than in her life. ItÕs all going very wrong, very quickly. ThereÕs going to be more blood.

The reimagining of the WildStorm UniverseÕs legendary antiheroes takes even more unexpected twists when plans older than human life itself begin to unfold! Jack Hawksmoor, Jenny Sparks, the Doctor and more arrive on the scene as the cold war between the covert agency that oversees crises on EarthÑInternational OperationsÑand the one that manages threats from outer spaceÑSkywatchÑheats up. But why is the carefully negotiated peace falling apart in a series of bloody encounters and high-tech infiltrations? The mysterious Jacob Marlowe knows more than heÕs tellingÉbut what he is willing to share is enough to lead the Engineer and her allies into incredible danger. And Henry Bendix, the Weatherman who heads Skywatch, sees an opportunity in the war thatÕs coming, one heÕll do anything to take for himself! The stakes in the world of The Wild Storm have never been higher in The Wild Storm Vol. 2, a breathtaking collection from the creative team of Warren Ellis (The Authority, Transmetropolitan) and artist Jon Davis-Hunt (Clean Room)! Collects The Wild Storm #7-12.

Beginning the fourth story arc of THE WILD STORM. Jenny Mei Sparks has been around for over a century. SheÕs seen a lot of things. Enough bad stuff that she took 20 years off to get drunk. And now sheÕs back, and she has a plan. The problem is that other people have plans, too, and one of them is about reducing the population of Earth by around 90 percent.
