Although it'd probably need to rely on I24 coming out in August at the latest, withb probably no I23.5 or I24.5 - an amternative might be an I23.5 along with I24 to wrap up the Praetorian aftermath, and then an I24.5 at the end of the year as a kind of teaser for the arrival of the Battalion in I25 next year.

I would think an event this large and heralded in game lore would be spread over many, many issues, much as the Praetorian content has been. I'm not expecting an entire issue of "This is the Storm, and you've dealth with it."
I also expect people to get as tired of the Battalion and related issues as they've gotten of Praetoria.

I think if you want to be REALLY technical about it, i21 was the beginning of the "Coming Storm", with the destruction of Galaxy City. Of course there's been references and buildup before then, but the Shivans crashing into Galaxy as a scouting force for the Battalion was the first real attack. That's the point where it stopped being just words, and started being something that was actually happening and had to be payed attention to.
As for what kind of gimmick they'll use to make them a real threat... hm... I wonder how unfair it would be to give random enemies an attack that could put a negative levelshift on players...

Don't worry, all the league will have to do is jump through 5 hoops, dodge a beam after the 5th hoop; all without touching the ground to get the lvl shifts back!
And for the badge, the whole league has to do it within 5 seconds of the first person jumping in the first hoop!

Wow, revisionist history right in the first sentence. Amazing.

No, he can't. Without saying "The studio that was to become Paragon Studios", Matt is a worse propagandist than Goebbels, Chairman Mao, Steve Jobs and the man who put the "bomp" in the "bomp she bomp she bomp" ... PUT TOGETHER.
