DC/WildStorm Stages Coup D'État
Independently, DC Comics/WildStorm Productions' Sleeper, Stormwatch:
Team Achilles, Wildcats Version 3.0, and The Authority bring readers
consistent thrills every month. But when superstar creators team up and popular
characters from these titles collide, the result will be Coup
D'État, an electrifying, four-issue mini-series that will forever
change the WildStorm Universe.
The Eye of the Storm epic will begin in Coup D'État -- Sleeper #1 (DEC030299, $2.95), by Ed Brubaker and Jim Lee, when the mysterious Tao dupes the U.S. government into committing an interdimensional atrocity on American soil. In Coup D'État -- Stormwatch: Team Achilles #2 (DEC030300, $2.95), by Micah Ian Wright and Carlos D'Anda, the Authority begins dismantling the government while Stormwatch: Team Achilles goes into hiding to plot the new super-dictatorship's overthrow. Spartan and Grifter's reactions to the Authority's actions, and their ramifications for Halo, are examined in Coup D'État -- Wildcats Version 3.0 #3 (DEC030301, $2.95) by Joe Casey and Alé Garza & Trevor Scott, while Coup D'État -- The Authority #4 (DEC030302, $2.95), by Robbie Morrison and Whilce Portacio, will find the Authority uncovering evidence of the government's responsibility for the atrocity, and taking control of America.
The issues, all of which are suggested for mature readers, are scheduled to ship weekly throughout February, starting with Coup D'État -- Sleeper on February 4. Please Note: Each issue will ship with two covers in a 50/50 ratio. Please consult the December Previews for each title's cover artists.
