Hebi is a patient, PATIENT man, but he's quickly tiring of the Neko clan drama that's getting in the way of business going smoothly. If the Mogura and Komori weren't as grossly incompetent as they are, he would have dropped the Neko long ago.

I found an interview that answers some of these questions.

>What led to the decision to color all of the older Usagi Yojimbo stories with IDW Publishing?
" It had to go to color, the current Usagi [series] is in color and [the original series] had to go color. Back when I started in 1984, there were a lot of black-and-white titles, Ninja Turtles and Cerebus, there were so many black-and-white books around. Nowadays, how many black-and-white comics are out there? It’s basically all died out. The Walking Dead was probably one of the last black-and-white series."

"The new stories [of Usagi] had to be in color, however, when talking to IDW, they suggested if they could color the entire library. I thought that would make it more attractive to new readers because I’ve got 37 or 38 Usagi volumes, plus you’ve got Senso and The Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper, all these other works. I’ve got about 40 books and they’re willing to color the entire story and that’s great! "

"I can do whatever I want with it, I love the character, and I have such freedom with it. My publishers, they do not see the story until I send it in fully completed so I have complete creative control over everything and that’s something most creators do not have and would give anything for. I’ve been doing this for almost 40 years and I would think I’ve earned that privilege now! [laughs] "

I found an interview that answers some of these questions.

>What led to the decision to color all of the older Usagi Yojimbo stories with IDW Publishing?
" It had to go to color, the current Usagi [series] is in color and [the original series] had to go color. Back when I started in 1984, there were a lot of black-and-white titles, Ninja Turtles and Cerebus, there were so many black-and-white books around. Nowadays, how many black-and-white comics are out there? It’s basically all died out. The Walking Dead was probably one of the last black-and-white series."

"The new stories [of Usagi] had to be in color, however, when talking to IDW, they suggested if they could color the entire library. I thought that would make it more attractive to new readers because I’ve got 37 or 38 Usagi volumes, plus you’ve got Senso and The Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper, all these other works. I’ve got about 40 books and they’re willing to color the entire story and that’s great! "

"I can do whatever I want with it, I love the character, and I have such freedom with it. My publishers, they do not see the story until I send it in fully completed so I have complete creative control over everything and that’s something most creators do not have and would give anything for. I’ve been doing this for almost 40 years and I would think I’ve earned that privilege now! [laughs] "

It all started back in the 90's with Jim Lee leaving Marvel to co-found Image. There he created ihs own series about a group of superpowered soldiers working for the UN called Stormwatch. Then Warren Ellis came in and decided to shake things up by having a rebel faction of the team deciding that they shouldn't answer to anyone but themselves and that they were best fit to rule over, thus forming The Authority. The Authority was a group of superhumans (here called post-humans) that watched over eveything. The original line up was: Apollo, Midnighter, Jack Hawksmoor, Swift, The Doctor, The Engineer and their leader, Jenny Sparks (who later become Jenny Quantum). They faced threads like Kaizen Gamorra, a crazy dictator who decided to attack the US because he could, Regis Slzfi, a blue alien dictator from an alternate universe called Sliding Albion who used China as his breeding camp and later God himself. Then came Millar and oh boy if Millar took things to another lenght... under Millar the Authority faced the Americans, a cruel knoff off of The Avengers who took things too far, all under the guidance of Jacob Krigstein, an ugly parody of Jack Kirby. Later they went to face against the preivous Doctor, who has Manhattan like powers but none of his disinterest and since he recovered his powers he decided to be a dick about it. Finally, after the (back then) G7 and not president Bush got tired of the Authority not answering to anyone, they decided to release Seth, the most disgusting portrayal of a redneck you could ever imagine to attack them. Seth wipped the floor with the team and they got imprisoned and tortured by the G7 Authority, the UN sanctioned version of them. They eventually got free and beat the shit out of everyone except Seth, who is reverse transformed by Jenny Quantum into his pre-human self and then into a chicken for some disturbing poetic justice.

StormWatch is a UN sanctioned superpolice operating out of the SkyWatch satellite, primarily. They've gone through a number of permutations, from policing superhumans (Team Achilles) to post-human policing (Post Human Division)
The Authority are conscientious objectors to the status quo enforced by StormWatch who have split off to be like an edgy Justice League, with requisite wide-screen adventures and saying 'fuck'
WildC.A.T.s is a group of aliens and their esquires fighting a secret war on earth, Kherubim vs Daemonite, with the WildC.A.T.s generally representing the Kherubim. This group and their war have gone through considerable changes, and the last true iteration of the book was a corporation using alien tech to disrupt earth's energy oligarchy (Wildcats 3.0).

It was kinda' cool I guess. Team 7 were some super-powered war dudes. Some of their kids wound up being Gen-13 kids who were experimented on. WildC.A.T.S. are an Avengers ripoff on the surface, but the members have some cool backstories and lore.

Wildstorm also gave us the Coda (ripoff of Themiscarians from Wonder Woman, but more horny.) We also got the Coda blood Ritual in Gen 13 #8 which drove 11yo me up the friggin wall as there was no internet in those days and I'd never seen anything that sexual in my whole life.

Wildcats= good aliens land on earth several hundred years in the past along with their enemies, a bunch of demon looking body snatchers. the good aliens breed with humans and their tech coopted by the government; several are functional immortals and the descendents of the aliens form a group that fights the bodysnatchers, then mostly retire/form a company that sells sci-fi batteries that last forever.

stormwatch: basically the avengers; super heroes that work for the UN that protect the earth. the book worked well until Ellis took over and buried (literally in the case of 90% of the cast) the book and replaced them with his god-awful OCs and turned the leader of the group into a literal hitler because fuck you that's why.

Team 7: the good aliens that came to earth gave their tech to the UN and America and used it to create super soldiers, who went on to form Stormwatch. The bulk of the team also had kids, who went on to become.....

Gen 13: the kids from Team 7 being chased by I/0, which was evil black ops folk. once they beat I/0 and found out who their parents were, their book became a boring slice of life super hero book with cheesecake artwork

Backlash: trainer of new Stormwatch recruits and occassionally did missions with the team. thankfully fucked off and retired before Ellis could kill him off or make him a rapist/racist to prop up Ellis's garbage Mary Sues

Sleeper: a title about an obnoxious undercover black ops guy who becomes friends with Ed Brubaker's Mary Sue villain who constantly commits war crimes and gets away with it. Most notably, he leaves boobytrapped tech for George W Bush to find that once taken into custody, blows up all of Florida ,because Ed and John Layman (editor of the line) hate Bush and Florida. Which led to....

Authority: all of Ellis's Mary Sues who derailed Stormwatch in one book acting like smug cunts. No one read it however, until Ellis made his superman and batman expies fags and then gave it to Mark Millar, thinking that Planetary was going to be the book that gets Ellis a gig in Hollywood and away from shitty comics. Millar is run off of the book and Ed Brubaker has the Authority, via the actions of Sleeper, kill Bush because Layman and Ed were pissy that Bush won in 2000 and this was their murder fantasy made into print.

Stormwatch Team Achilles was the new version of Stormwatch, which Garth Ennis shamelessly ripped off to make the Boys. Sadly the writer got outed as a stolen valor creep and blackballed.

Planetary: a book that was supposed to be about three heroes and their secret master doing one-off stories in different genres that morphed into Ellis bitching about how cape comics ruined comics as a whole as the trio (one of which turned out to be the master) get their shit kicked in by a bunch of evil Fantastic Four expies. But by this point, Ellis is desperate for money so he crawls to Marvel to write D-Listers and wrote one of his cam whores (who eventually would destroy Ellis's career and life via outing him as a sex pest) into the story to tell the secret master character he should stop hating Marvel.

Grunge is a dark reflection of mid 90's EXTREME teen Jackass-era wish fulfillment.
Like an asian Bam Margera.
He's a skater. He's a gamer. He's a coomer.
But he's not a lardshit. He's roiding up to overcompensate for being born a halfling. He smells of boy funk and AXE body products.

He's charismatic enough to snare an insecure co-dependent art scene wallflower, but anyone with a brain will find prolonged exposure to him repulsive.

Even his powers are part of his character. He's a mooch. A masher. He gains the properties of whatever he can get his hands on. If he fondles a boob he gains all the powers and abilities inherent in a boob.

Grunge is Adam Warren's Thugboy crossed with 03 Beast Boy. Grunge and Roxy in general is most likely why we have to suffer BBxRae today.

So yeah, he definitely is meant to be a PoS. But a shit character? I disagree. He's the asshole that the rest of the team plays off. The team butt-monkey.

Wildcats= good aliens land on earth several hundred years in the past along with their enemies, a bunch of demon looking body snatchers. the good aliens breed with humans and their tech coopted by the government; several are functional immortals and the descendents of the aliens form a group that fights the bodysnatchers, then mostly retire/form a company that sells sci-fi batteries that last forever.

stormwatch: basically the avengers; super heroes that work for the UN that protect the earth. the book worked well until Ellis took over and buried (literally in the case of 90% of the cast) the book and replaced them with his god-awful OCs and turned the leader of the group into a literal hitler because fuck you that's why.

Team 7: the good aliens that came to earth gave their tech to the UN and America and used it to create super soldiers, who went on to form Stormwatch. The bulk of the team also had kids, who went on to become.....

Gen 13: the kids from Team 7 being chased by I/0, which was evil black ops folk. once they beat I/0 and found out who their parents were, their book became a boring slice of life super hero book with cheesecake artwork

Backlash: trainer of new Stormwatch recruits and occassionally did missions with the team. thankfully fucked off and retired before Ellis could kill him off or make him a rapist/racist to prop up Ellis's garbage Mary Sues

Sleeper: a title about an obnoxious undercover black ops guy who becomes friends with Ed Brubaker's Mary Sue villain who constantly commits war crimes and gets away with it. Most notably, he leaves boobytrapped tech for George W Bush to find that once taken into custody, blows up all of Florida ,because Ed and John Layman (editor of the line) hate Bush and Florida. Which led to....

Authority: all of Ellis's Mary Sues who derailed Stormwatch in one book acting like smug cunts. No one read it however, until Ellis made his superman and batman expies fags and then gave it to Mark Millar, thinking that Planetary was going to be the book that gets Ellis a gig in Hollywood and away from shitty comics. Millar is run off of the book and Ed Brubaker has the Authority, via the actions of Sleeper, kill Bush because Layman and Ed were pissy that Bush won in 2000 and this was their murder fantasy made into print.

Stormwatch Team Achilles was the new version of Stormwatch, which Garth Ennis shamelessly ripped off to make the Boys. Sadly the writer got outed as a stolen valor creep and blackballed.

Planetary: a book that was supposed to be about three heroes and their secret master doing one-off stories in different genres that morphed into Ellis bitching about how cape comics ruined comics as a whole as the trio (one of which turned out to be the master) get their shit kicked in by a bunch of evil Fantastic Four expies. But by this point, Ellis is desperate for money so he crawls to Marvel to write D-Listers and wrote one of his cam whores (who eventually would destroy Ellis's career and life via outing him as a sex pest) into the story to tell the secret master character he should stop hating Marvel.

Team Achilles and The Boys are two very different animals. The only thing they share is being a group that polices supes. Team Achilles was all about using standard equipment and ops to reign them in, while The Boys use Compound V and degeneracy. One is procedural, the other is comedy

You can hardly count Jukko as a 'super', as his empathy doesn't add anything to the spectrum and in fact can cripple him. Flint is mildly superstrong and slightly more durable than human. The vast majority of Team Achilles' tactics and equipment were based on things available in the real world, as very diametrically opposed to The Boys, and the focus of their leaders couldn't be more divergent

Am I the only one who liked the direction they did with the "World's End" story-arc?

>[T]his direction evolved following our WorldStorm launch a few years ago. Looking at the landscape of the industry, we realized we needed to move our universe in a different direction, something that the “Big Two” couldn’t, or wouldn’t, do for a long period of time. And we decided that direction should be toward a sci-fi/horror direction of a post-apocalyptic setting (to a degree, an almost logical extension to where the WSU has been headed for years). There have been “visions” of a devastated, bleak future in other mainstream super-hero books, but nothing with the lasting impact or direction that the World’s End books will be tackling
