Meet StormWatch, humanity's government-sanctioned super-team, its members keeping a brooding vigil from on high. But for this team the end is nigh and from the ashes will rise The Authority. In this sequel to stormwatch: A Finer World, Warren Ellis (acclaimed creator of The Authority), charts one of Stormwatch's most crucial chapters: its ending, and the demise of some of the most beloved members of the team. In a shocking and controversial inter-company cross-over, 20th Century Fox's deadly Aliens wreak havoc in the orbiting headquarters and Wildstorm's WildC.A.T.S. are deployed to end their threat before they can reach earth.
