Extreme action
Radical
Secret government agency shenanigans.
Ignore the other guy. The books stop being extreme pretty quickly and turn to sophisticated wide screen action or espionage. You're in for some of the best superhero comics ever made.
And an insane wrap up.
Is the xenomorph ending actually canon?
That Aliens crossover is very canon. But I'm talking World's End.
THIS.
This not so much.
The issue with this list is it's not even slightly chronological.
And it's got no love for early Wildstorm at all. Wildstorm before and after Moore and Ellis is like two different companies.
I love everything Brandon Choi wrote, and WetWorks is some kinda rare drug I can't understand how it works on me. What early Wildstorm do you recc?
I'm still working my way through it, but mainly WildCATs, Gen13, WetWorks, Deathblow and Stormwatch, if more for Diva than for the stories.
I haven't got around to Backlash yet but I've seen people recommending it before if you like early Wildstorm.
First 12 issues of Deathblow are damn good. Backlash is pretty decent, but never quite found its lane and devolves into a team book later. DV8 is worth picking up. Also, Cybernary and Brass are often overlooked gems, though Cybernary you can only find in backups.
There was this 2 issue arc in Deathblow where he was hunting a rouge werewolf it was written by Chuck Dixon and even though I knew exactly what the ending was going to be I didn't care cause it was executed so well that you enjoyed it for what it was.
Is any of this worth it? I heard most of it was shit so I was gonna read ellis's The Wild Storm and call it a day
Ennis' Wild Storm reboot is mediocre, and I hadn't read much of original Wildstorm universe when it (the reboot) first came out, so my displeasure isn't just a case of "not muh".
Yeah it feels like one of those TV pitch comics.
>Ennis
It's Ellis that did the reboot.
My bad, that was a typo. The rest of the post still stands, though. His first go at the universe with DV8, Stormwatch, and then The Authority were all miles better than The Wild Storm.
Ennis actually did some work for Wildstorm.
Three Kev minis, and five issues of Midnighter.
The reboot isn't even good.
The actual good Wildstorm is everything released in the early 2000s. Just literally everything from that era.
It was like a slow motion Easter Egg hunt.
Don't torture yourself - it's ASS.
The idea of Cornell and Milligan on Stormwatch sounds exciting but it's also new 52 so I'm probably just going to ignore all of the n52 integrations.
It's the best thing you can do. Everything after New 52 is garbage.
I agree - it sounds exciting. A majority of New 52 runs were strictly work for hire, no pitch, no soul. Stormwatch was a rolling disaster.
Lots of mystery box shit, some decent T&A fan service, some ambitious storylines (like Stormwatch #25), and decent slice of life.
Just note that the entire thing goes breasts up when Ellis and Casey takes over Stormwatch/Wildcats.
Military jargon and conspiracies on top of conspiracies.
I really wish they hadn't merged it into the DCU.
Not because I like WildStorm as its own separate universe better, but rather because after the New 52, Jim Lee just wouldn't stop trying to make WildStorm bullshit seem important in the DCU, I don't fricking care about Grifter and his stupid bootleg Deadpool rag mask dammit.
I read the new 52 grifter. Absolutel dogshit although almost all n52 was
The DC era of WildStorm is actually not half bad.
Wildstorm and Top cow were the best of the 90's image style and have held up better then the Spawn/Savage Dragon/Extreme comics coming from them at the time. And of course miles better then the marvel x-men stuff from that era.
I would say Wildstorm has more higher highs
Top Cow really varies in quality
Savage Dragon was consistent in the 90s despite what people complaining right now say about current issues
Extreme's peak was the Awesome Entertainment era
I like Gen13.
I don't
Was Simone's Gen13 run any good?
No. Neither was Claremont run.
No, Simone has no good comics.
Did your youtube friend simulator tell you that
She looks like she sucks dick for a living
Why did the 2016-17 rebrote fail?
reboot*
It wasn’t compelling or interesting but it was decompressed beyond human understanding.
You didn’t wonder what would happen next, because the answer was always the same: fricking nothing.
gets really good when ellis gets involved
peaks at authority
Is Jim Lee still around on DC? now that geoff and didio are out, he is the top dog?
