Publication history
Publication history
The ongoing series started in December 2006. A new story arc started in issue #7. Like Stormwatch: Post Human Division, the series stopped at issue #12 and it then appeared as part of the Christos Gage-written "Wildstorm: Armageddon" crossover storyline, with artist Horacio Domingues. Unlike Stormwatch: PHD, and other titles involved in that story, it was not one of those that was announced as restarting in 2008 with World's End. However, it continued in a six-issue limited series, entitled Welcome to Tranquility: One Foot in the Grave, with Simone returning to write it and Domingues staying on to provide the art.
