It’s hard to believe that it was a decade ago when Wildstorm Comics , part of the massive DC Comics empire, was in its creative zenith. Quick to capitalise on the communities aging fan base, Wildstorm started releasing superhero comics with more adult themes and instantly struck gold with Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch’s universally acclaimed run of The Authority . They continued the trend with highly regarded books such as Ellis and John Cassaday’s part creator owned Planetary and Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips Sleeper . Each book had a different approach and different ideas as to what makes a comic ‘adult,’ and on the whole were met with critical praise from all corners.
