Collection: Black Ops – Image Comics / WildStorm – (1996) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–5

📘 Series Summary

Published under the WildStorm banner at Image Comics, Black Ops is a visceral five-issue limited series that captures the high-stakes world of deniable military operations. Scripted by Shon Bury and Dan Norton, the series follows an elite squad of specialists—including Jason Takomi and the deadly Svetlana Grozney—who find themselves abandoned by their government handlers after a disastrous mission in Los Angeles.

Now operating as rogue agents, the team must navigate a landscape of corporate espionage and betrayal within the WildStorm Universe. Featuring the signature hyper-detailed art style of the era by Dan Norton and Sandra Hope, Black Ops is a gritty exploration of loyalty and survival on the fringes of the law. It stands as a definitive example of the 90s "covert-action" comic boom, bridging the gap between traditional superheroics and tactical military thrillers.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• A quintessential WildStorm era title that expands the tactical lore of the Image Comics universe.
• Features the stunning, high-energy artwork of Dan Norton, a key talent from Jim Lee’s studio.
• A self-contained "rogue unit" narrative that focuses on high-tech weaponry and paramilitary strategy.
• Notable for its various collectible variants, including the striking wraparound cover for the series finale (Issue #5B).
• An essential piece of the puzzle for fans of Team 7 and the early Stormwatch era.
• A complete 5-issue limited series that provides a fast-paced, satisfying arc for action enthusiasts.
