Watch as the fragile alliance completely shatters, propelling the team out of internal chaos and straight into a brutal tactical confrontation against a rogue Martian Manhunter. Enjoy gripping, high-concept sci-fi storytelling paired with the hyper-dynamic, cinematic illustration of Will Conrad and Eduardo Pansica.

All five books are in pristine, brand-new, and unread condition. This collection is a phenomenal pick-up for dedicated WildStorm completionists, cosmic DC collectors, or independent retail store owners looking to add high-grade, consecutive modern backissues directly onto their storefront shelves.

The Comic Book Lineup

1. Stormwatch #12 – Cover A First Printing (October 2012): The absolute, unforgettable emotional and physical breaking point of the team! In this massive series turning point, Martian Manhunter decides the team has become too dangerous to exist. J'onn permanently quits the shadow coalition—but not before executing a brutal tactical mind-wipe on his former teammates, leaving Stormwatch completely fractured and vulnerable.

2. Stormwatch #13 – Cover A First Printing (December 2012): A gripping, high-intensity survival chapter tracking the immediate aftermath of the Martian betrayal. With their memories compromised and internal tracking systems failing, Apollo and Midnighter must work together blindly to fortify the Eye of the Storm against an incoming kinetic strike.

3. Stormwatch #14 – Cover A First Printing (January 2013): The cosmic scale widens dramatically. Legendary scribe Peter Milligan introduces a terrifying, reality-warping extra-dimensional biological virus that targets the team's core leadership, forcing the remaining black-ops members to initiate extreme shadow quarantine protocols.

4. Stormwatch #15 – Cover A First Printing (February 2013): The adrenaline-fueled narrative shifts into a high-stakes rescue mission. Midnighter must execute a dangerous, standalone infiltration strategy deep behind enemy lines to salvage a severely altered Apollo from a cybernetic cult that worships the dying architecture of ancient satellites.

5. Stormwatch #16 – Cover A Main Edition First Printing (March 2013): The explosive, action-packed penultimate crescendo before the landscape-altering issue #17 reset. Hidden truths are completely laid bare across the cosmos as the team uncovers the ancient, century-old origins of the Midnighter and Apollo bio-engineering project, changing their operational status quo forever.
