Ryu practices his martial arts, remembering the teachings of his master, Gouken, as he does so. Ryu then slips into a meditation, where he faces his own darkness (Evil Ryu) in combat. The sound of his Master shouting his name brings him out of his inner struggle, and he rushes back to his master's dojo. There he finds master Gouken, beaten to death, a Japanese character written on the wall behind him in his own blood.

The world is full of monsters. Strayer kills them, but, of course, for a small fee... Nothing is free.Mala does magic of a sort... sometimes when she wants, sometimes not...

STRAY BULLETS CONTINUES WITH THE BEGINNING OF A BRAND-NEW ARC OF STORIES! SUNSHINE AND ROSES is about violence, love, and really bad decisions. The Baltimore underworld is falling apart at the seams and blood has been spilt. Where and when things went to hell in a handbasket can be traced back to a time a few years earlier, when a man named Harry ran the city, Spanish Scott and Monster enforced the rules, and an insecure young man named Orson met a wild and crazy girl named Beth. The two together cooked up the boldest, most outlandish, and just about the stupidest plan ever devised-a plan to steal a whole lot of Harry's money and drugs and get a little revenge along the way. While every issue of STRAY BULLETS presents a complete story, the start of each new arc is the perfect place to jump on board and see what everybody else is talking about.

Great story. Really sends me back to my early teens trying to chase that glimpse of boobs. You know back when you had to really search for it. Now its just a www. click away. Great story that takes a crazy violent turn but really really worth reading....

Collecting the hit mini-series, STRAY tells the story of Rodney Weller, the former sidekick known as "the Rottweiler." When his mentor, the Doberman, is murdered, Rodney has to decide if he wants to come back to the world of capes and masks and, if he does, who he wants to be. Cover by Dean Haspiel (The Fox)!

With The Authority now policing the Wildstorm Universe it seems as if there is no longer any need for a Stormwatch team. However, Ben Santini believes differently. Santini was the former Director of Operations at International Operations. He was once wounded by a S.P.B. (Super-Powered-Being) and has held a grudge against them ever since. He puts together a new Stormwatch team called Team Achilles with the intent to keep an eye on the superpowered populace. But with almost no funding and a team of mostly non-superpowered humans, Team Achilles has all the chips stacked against them. So they must rely on their wits and perhaps a little luck, in order to survive.

John Doran is taken to a post-apocalyptic WildStorm Universe by the Wildcats' Void. The horror that's befallen his beloved New York City is devastating...but he'll be even more astonished to see what StormWatch — and Jackson King — have become!

Once again the world finds itself without a Stormwatch team. But Jackson King, a former Stormwatch member and Weatherman, intends to change that. Just as Stormwatch: Team Achilles before him, King finds little support from the United Nations and he too decides that putting together a group of mostly non-superpowered humans is the best way to go. However, with the Post Human Division, as he calls it, King intends to work with local law enforcement to get them better equipped to deal with superpowered threats with the P.H.D. acting as supervisors. But in a world where superpowered beings run rampant, the P.H.D.'s non-superpowered members find themselves to truly be the minority.

Summary:

Jackson King, formerly Stormwatch's field commander codenamed Battalion, is the new Weatherman in charge of Stormwatch. Realizing that there are threats in the world that need a more forceful approach, King forms Stormwatch Black- a group of extremely powerful beings that are meant to deal with these threats permanently. But will the United Nations continue to sanction such a team?

Stormwatch is the United Nation's crisis intervention team that is in charge of responding to superpowered threats around the globe. Led by Weatherman Henry Bendix, the team resides in their orbital space station: Skywatch. They are not only responsible for planet-side threats but also threats that come from the far reaches of space. But as those threats increase, the question of just how prepared this team is to handle them comes into question.
