DC Comics Modern Era Lot – 5 Book Set - Lot V2 (Brand New / Unread)
Prepare for a massive, structural reality reset of the DC Universe's ultimate shadow defense force with this premium five-book collection from the New 52 era. This highly curated lot captures a defining turning point for the title: the explosive finale of Peter Milligan's run in issue #17, immediately followed by the historic takeover of legendary cosmic architect Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos). Watch as the fabric of time and space is rewritten, introducing an old-school, hard-hitting WildStorm dynamic wrapped in spectacular widescreen action.
All five books are in pristine, unread condition—making this lot a phenomenal pickup for dedicated WildStorm completionists, cosmic DC collectors, or independent retail store owners looking to add high-grade backissue keys to their retail displays.
The Comic Book Lineup
-
Stormwatch #17 – Cover A First Printing (2013 Series Key): The mind-bending, thunderous grand finale to Peter Milligan's multi-year run. In an absolute desperation move to fix a fractured reality, the team triggers a massive temporal anomaly. The universe buckles, completely wiping the slate clean and paving the way for a whole new timeline status quo.
-
Stormwatch #18 – Cover A First Printing (May 2013): Cosmic legend Jim Starlin takes the creative reins! Following the reality-warping fallout of the previous issue, a newly configured Stormwatch team emerges to police the shadows. This issue resets the chessboard, introducing fresh operational protocols and a much gridder, classic WildStorm sci-fi aesthetic.
-
Stormwatch #20 – Cover A First Printing (2013): The cosmic stakes scale up dramatically under Starlin's pen with art by Yvel Guichet. As a massive, multi-dimensional entity known as the Kollective begins consuming outer-rim solar systems, the new team must deploy their full tactical arsenal to prevent Earth's sector from being erased.
-
Stormwatch #21 – Cover A First Printing (2013): A high-intensity tactical chapter. Apollo and Midnighter—reimagined with a raw, classic edge—must execute a dangerous infiltration mission inside a living, biomechanical planetary fortress to salvage a piece of ancient cosmic data.
-
Stormwatch #22 – Cover A Main Edition First Printing (2013): The high-octane narrative races toward its massive late-series climax. Hidden truths regarding the original timeline are unearthed, forcing the team into a brutal, definitive showdown with a shadow syndicate lurking at the very edge of the Multiverse.
