There are two stories here: the reactivation of Cold War superweapons, and the return of three of Apollo and Midnighter's former Stormwatch teammates who died on their first mission. Neither story is all that impressive.
In the first, zombie Soviets pilot a giant warship and are killed by the Authority. This reactivates Adam Bomb, a superhuman that blows up and can't stop doing it--he just wants to die. So, the Doctor deactivates his powers and Apollo burns his head off with heat vision.
In the second, those three former-black ops Stormwatch members show up on the Carrier--somehow. Swift, Apollo and Midnighter fight them and kill them again, because zombies break easily apparently.
I don't know what else to tell you. This is the post-Ellis Authority and it's edgy and contains explicit references to Apollo and Midnighter's sexuality in that heavy-handed way Ellis never really descended into. The Adam Bomb idea is interesting, but nothing much is done with it. This is a forgettable type of story and suits the annual format.
I do wonder why, at the end, they're amazed that Lamplighter's lamp looks old Stormwatch tech, though... he was one of Bendix's bastards... They wore Stormwatch logos on their uniforms... what the hell?
Should this remain a lesser known Joe Casey comics? Yeah. It's not bad or anything, and I'm sure some would get a thrill out of seeing Apollo and Midnighter fight some superzombies, after all, Marvel Zombies sells huge for that very reason. For me, there isn't much here. When you compare it to the Wildcats annual, it looks even worse. Cully Hamner's art is its typical greatness, though. If you see this in a quarter bin or something, check it out, but it's not exactly worth hunting for.
