The Comic Book Lineup

I. The Covert WildStorm Integration Era

1. Stormwatch #1 – Cover A Main Edition First Printing (New 52 / 2011 Series Debut): The legendary relaunch that officially integrated WildStorm’s premier shadow authority into core DC continuity. Written by Paul Cornell with razor-sharp art by Miguel Sepúlveda, this landmark premiere issue introduces a secret team featuring Martian Manhunter, Apollo, and Midnighter operating behind the scenes to shield Earth from terrifying, systemic multiversal incursions.

2. Stormwatch #0 – Cover A Main Edition First Printing (2012 Key): An essential, lore-heavy prequel issue exploring the ancient, hidden origins of the Stormwatch coalition. This historical installment maps out the century-old bloodlines, cosmic technology, and shadow protocols that laid the groundwork for the modern team's black-ops operations.

II. The Deep-Sea Atlantean Uprising (2025 Run)

3. Aquaman #5 – Cover A Main Edition First Printing (2025 Series): High-stakes oceanic drama. As ancient tectonic shifts threaten to destabilize localized Atlantean sectors, Arthur Curry must execute a dangerous political maneuvering strategy to prevent a multi-faction civil war. (Condition Note: High-grade VF condition with minor, standard edge handling wear from the diamond distributor box).

4. Aquaman #6 – Cover A John Timms First Printing (2025 Series): The adrenaline-fueled narrative speeds forward with jaw-dropping, dynamic cinematic artwork by fan-favorite master John Timms. A highly coordinated mercenary syndicate deploys advanced bio-tech armor to ambush Arthur in the deepest trenches of the North Atlantic.

III. The Super-Archaeology Sector

5. Outsiders #5 – "Nocturne" Cover A First Printing (2024 Series Key): A standout horror-themed chapter from Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly's brilliant planetary-archaeology reinvention of the team.
