Tokyo Storm Warning 1-3 Complete

is a three-issue comic book mini-series published from August to December 2003 by DD Comics' WildStorm imprint Cliffhanger. It was written by Warren Ellis, with art by James Raiz and Andrew Currie. Named after an Elvis Costello song, it followed the exploits of the pilots of the ARCangels - gigantic robotic constructs used by the Japanese government to battle fantastic creatures hell-bent on penetrating the defenses of a secret installation in the heart of modern Tokyo.
Plot (Spoiler Alert!)

The comic takes place in an alternate time line where after the capture of u-234 on 14 May 1945 and the discovery of its nuclear cargo (intended for the Japanese atomic program in Tokyo) the US decides to use its first A-Bomb on Tokyo to prevent the Japanese developing their own device. Following this Japan finds itself plagued by giant monsters and the appearance of giant battle robots within the city of Tokyo, over the next sixty years. --
