This review is from: Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

The further adventures of Santini and his band, setting out to prevent problems with both band and incompetent superhumans. One interesting point is that he becomes more and more reliant on superhuman help himself, with a shapeshifter, for one, and even one of his own team, Jukko, is revealed to also be posthuman. It does not end there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good writing, good art...a good read., May 26, 2004

This review is from: Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

This isn't the typical comic book from when I was a kid. Stories that are actually interesting to grown-ups! The idea behind Stormwatch is that "normal" humans have developed a team to kill rogue super-powered beings that use their powers for evil. Stormwatch is the team of humans that hunt the baddies.

A good idea, that's been well executed.

This review is from: Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

This volume does not contain a single story arc but is rather a compilation of stand alone stories, each focusing on a specific team member. Each story is interesting but the one that stands out is the one centered on Jukko's. Despite being a member that's tasked to hunt down rogue "post-humans", he himself has some superhuman traits. Micah Wright has intriguingly teased the readers that Jukko can have a stand alone comic of his own, since we see him doing bits of crime fighting in a big city like New York. The only complaint with this compilation, unlike Volume 1, is it ended with a cliffhanger, a blatant sales ploy so readers will be forced to buy Volume 3. Well, I'm not complaining about buying another Team Achilles compilation but they should do it real SOON!
