Densely plotted book with a lot of different set-ups to chew on in the coming months. Continuity-wise, seems to be pretty much a reboot, so you don't need to know much about StormWatch before hand. Looks like the Jenny Quantum story is one of the few previous threads to survive, but Apollo and the Midnighter's pre-history did not. I'm assuming the Projectionist, the Eminence of Blades and Adam One are new characters. The art was a little hit-and-miss (too much digital enhancement), but seemed to get better as it moved along. Like the potential tie to Cornell's DEMON KNIGHTS as well.

I thought that was a tie-in thrown in there but I couldn't tell as the 'demon' character looked just like a yellow-colored humanoid.
