I guess if the idea is to have a confusing and shadowy start to Stormwatch, then Paul Cornell succeeded. I just got lost in this mess of an opening. There is apparently a big horn, which gives us the campiest line I have read in a comicbook in a long time. The characters seem to not really exists in the DCnU the way they present things. I am not well versed in the backgrounds of these characters and received little info about them here. Martian Manhunter is unrecognizable to me and I just really think this is a book I will not be reading. The only cool thing was the creature that is in the moon. This book will tie directly into the mystery woman's warning from Flashpoint #5 about some gigantic menace coming to Earth. Otherwise I take a pass.

Yeah. A total missed opportunity. I keep wavering on whether I liked this or not. Didn't when I read it, did when I wrote a quick review, not sure now. It has promise but the execution was choppy.
