If you have fond memories of the 1990s then you probably
remember WILDC.A.T.S., Gen13 and the Authority. If you don't, you're going to
be surprised when classic characters like Grifter (think Batman/The Punisher with guns and the flimsiest "mask" ever) and Voodoo fall under DC's
new "Edge" line.
The relaunch will see Stormwatch return in a Checkmate
role, a secret global group that worked on a more political level than say the
old JLA. Here, Martian Manhunter leads the charge and brings on Midnighter and
Apollo, whom you may remember as the gay couple that was a direct answer to
Batman and Superman. Now? We're in the dark about their "personal"
status, but it'd be a bummer to see such established figures get their
personalities destroyed in order to blunt history.
Oh and the Daemonites are back. They're the Wildstorm equivalent of a Skrull, due to their nature as being a writer's crutch; compared to White Martians, they're like puppy dogs with knives strapped to their body - deadly if you let them close.
