So what are the names of the good comics?

[(Anonymous)]

Midnighter & Apollo were introduced in Warren Ellis' Stormwatch, but only in one issue. And then they became main characters in The Authority, also by Warren Ellis. Both comics were published by Wildstorm. Ellis' run on The Authority is really worth reading, after that, it gets hit or miss. It's ultra violent though, so read only if you have the stomach for it!

The picture below is from DC's Stormwatch reboot, which is ... very much its own thing. XD

The Apollo and Midnighter have been awful ever since Ellis left Stormwatch. That assclown Millar wrote them so abominably I still have a bad taste in my mouth all these years later.

"Midnighter, take out those guards!"

"Sure thing! I'm gay!"

"Apollo, get that sniper!"

"Will do, but first let me comment that he has a nice ass, because I'm gay!"

"Say, sweetie-bunch, as two homosexual gay dudes who like having gay man-on-man sex with each other and with gay homos in general, do you want to get gay married and then have some gay married sex and then make gay breakfast?"

Seriously, that's how Millar wrote them. He even casually mentioned that Midnighter had gotten AIDS at some point since gaining his powers, because of course he had. Just fucking awful.

To be generous to Millar, he may have been overcorrecting in response to how underplayed their sexuality was under the previous team. I think 2/3 of the Ellis/Hitch issues didn't even indicate that Apollo and Midnighter were in a relationship. I forget how far in I was before I realised that my Apollo/Jenny ship was so doomed.

Sadly, Millar is a) a giant shit-covered troll, and b) really not prone to subtlety.
