"Peter Milligan chose to work on DC Comics&amp;#039; Stormwatch for the &amp;quot;freedom&amp;quot; the title represents. The Red Lanterns writer has discussed his move to the series from Justice League Dark. &amp;quot;I really liked the quirkiness,&amp;quot; Milligan said to Comic Book Resources of the former WildStorm property. &amp;quot;I liked the characters and the fact that there was so much we still didn&amp;#039;t really know about them, or this organisation they work for. The whole thing seemed to suggest a lot of possible stories and outcomes. And it didn&amp;#039;t all have to be tied up with superheroes or with what&amp;#039;s gone on before in DC. &amp;quot;In other words, there was a sense of freedom with a healthy chance of the surreal.&amp;quot; Milligan revealed that he was previously &amp;quot;aware&amp;quot; of the Stormwatch characters, &amp;quot;but didn&amp;#039;t really know them too well&amp;quot;. Animal Man writer Jeff Lemire will replace Milligan on Justice League Dark in May. &amp;quot; I really enjoyed working on JL Dark,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;But yes, in many ways, I think that maybe Stormwatch suits my sensibilities a little better, [and] is a &amp;#039;fit&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  Milligan will join Stormwatch with issue #9 on May 2, following a two-issue fill-in story from Peter Jenkins.
