Hmmm - If Only I Could Figure Out Why This Seems So Familiar...
Over on
ComiX-Fan, there's a thread announcing Chuck Austen and Tom
Derenick's upcoming (and presumably creator-owned) series,
StormWatch
I'm sorry,
WorldWatch. According to the piece,
WorldWatch is a large group of Superhero
protectors, a-la
the JLA or the Avengers, only on a much larger scale. They have
protected the planet for decades from a myriad of world threats. Recent
years have brought turmoil to the group, however, as power struggles,
accusations of improper behavior, and lack of any meaningful
supervision has lead to trouble among the team. What do you do when the
rules don't seem to apply to you? When it seems as though you can get
away with anything because no one has the power to call you on your
excesses? When you're the most powerful thing on the planet, and you're
convinced you're right, and know what's best for the entire world?
WorldWatch leader Warrior Princess, along with her
second-in-command Doc Gullivar, find themselves struggling to bring
order and structure to a team that has degraded into, essentially, a
group of unruly "rock stars". They hope to return the group to its
former glory and remind them of what they once were... heroes, and they
may have the help they're looking for in a possible savior who calls
himself Monarch, a man who genuinely seems to know what a hero should
be. Or is it already too late?
Gee, good thing
nothing like this
has
ever been done before.
