The Wildstorm Universe of Comics

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 – running time 28:40
There is a lot to love about Wildstorm, the imprint of comic books founded by Jim Lee and now owned by DC Comics, both yesterday and today.

Segments

Ron, Josh, and Conor go back and look at what made Wildstorm great, with influential titles, like Wildcats and the Authority, as well as some of the superb creator owned work released by Jim Lee's Image offshoot turned DC imprint.

Wildstorm: The Early Years

We look over some of the earliest imaginings of the Wildstorm Universe, notable Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.s, and its many offspring, like Gen 13 and Team 7. As the decade ended, we were introduced to the game-changers like Stormwatch and the Authority by Warren Ellis, as well as Joe Casey's amazing take on Wildcats volumes 2 and 3.

Wildstorm: Creator Owned Titles

From Alan Moore to Brian K. Vaughan, Wildstorm has been the home of many well regarded creator owned books, including the long running Astro City. Moore published his America's Best Comics through the imprint, producing such classics as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Top 10, Promethea, and others. Then Vaughan and Harris dealt with some serious issues with Ex Machina. More recently, Jeff Parker and Tom Fowler up the stakes with the fantastic Mysterius the Unfathomable.

Wildstorm: World's End

The Wildstorm universe had some rocky restarts in the last few years, but with the most recent relaunch, World's End, the classic books like Authority, Wildcats, Stormwatch PHD, and others are firing on all cylinders, driven by great creators like Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Simon Coleby, Christos Gage, Neil Googe, and more. They're some of the best superhero books on the market, and a lot of people are missing out.
