Publishing History: "And neither angels on high… nor saviors below… will halt the final conflict… as a world dies screaming."
Number of the Beast is the third in WildStorm's apocalyptic trilogy, following WildStorm Armageddon and WildStorm Revelations. It features a lost generation of heroes known as The Paladins, as well as the return of The High, the main villain from Warren Ellis' "Change or Die" story in StormWatch.
This series paves the way for WildStorm's current "World's End" storylines.
