Will Conrad brings the goods this issue. His Midnighter and Apollo reek of confidence and power, while his Engineer is inhuman and scary. The action is perfectly paced.

This issue made me feel better about the Stormwatch title again. We have since learned that Jim Starlin will be taking over with issue #19 so I hope he can bring on some new readers to the title. In the meantime, I hope Milligan and Conrad's run ends on a high note next month. Read Full Review

And those immense abilities are also what hinders the story. She just barely "misses" Midnighter and Apollo with a death laser, stalls taking out the real threats, and then attacks another character with a non-lethal blow "on purpose."
