Comic of the Week 4

This week I have chosen a comic that came out this last Wednesday. I had already decided this was the one I was most looking forward to this week and it definately met my expectations. For this week, for comic of the week I have chosen Stormwatch #3:

 

Although there have only been three issues, this series has quickly become one of my favourite. As I hoped, this issue moved away from introducing the series and gave lots of action and more substantial characterisation. I already loved a fair amount of the chracters in this series from the Authority - Midnighter, Apollo, Jack, Engineer, Jenny Q - so am excited to see them in a new series with new stories, especially the new exploration of Midnighter and Apollo's relationship that Cornell has set out. The other chracters are fairly interesting, although aren't interesting me as much as the one I already know, and make sure this series different from the old Stormwatch or the Authority so kust as exciting to read. Out of the new chracters, Harry Tanner is my favourtie so far, mainly because he has been by himself so has had more chracterisation, especially with the revelation of his relationship with Engineer in this issue and the fact he uses a swrod to fight, which is classic and effective. In this issue, I really enjoyed the physical representation of the cities as Jack talked to them, which brought an extra dimension to the story and jack, and the presentation of Midnighter's tactical skills, which resulted in him having to face a monster with the powers of the members of Stormwatch next issue. I was a little disappointed when Midnighter stopped in the middle of a battle to ask about Jenny Q's powers, not very tactical or in character but a good way to establish a relationship between the two. Being only three issues in,  this series is one of my favourites and I find myself almost desperately anticipating the next issue, and further issues to see what happens with the characters.
