Midnighter is getting a solo series based not on all those issues of Stormwatch, but because of him appearing as a guest character, an antagonist but now moving into frienemy territory, in Grayson. Where (being Dick’s book and all, so this is to be expected) he’s got a smallish role and is used to prop up Dick in a couple scenes, (and to comment on his flawless ass) so he’s not even at his very best. That’s how bad Stormwatch was. It damaged the characters so bad that it took a guest spot in another character’s book for his character (and costume. I missed you, coat.) to be repaired enough for Midnighter’s awesome to finally bubble to the surface. Which should NEVER have been a question, because he should be all kinds of awesome. Too bad we can’t fix all of them in this way. Apollo can get pulled along by them fixing Midnighter, but the rest… it’s harder.
Though Apollo getting fixed along with Midnighter relies on Midnighter and Apollo being together, which they say they won’t be. I’m still upset about that. They better kiss and make up by the end.
