We present new and unique imaging of the archetypal starburst galaxy M82, showing -- for the first time -- the true extent and complexity of the starburst-driven superwind. The images have been formed from a combination of HST and WIYN Hα and [N II] observations. This partnership has enabled a wide range in dynamic response to be studied, and allowed the wind structure to be traced directly from the roots out to a distance of ˜5 kpc. Prominent features include loops and filaments, reflection nebulae, and ``search-light'' formations. We discuss the newly-revealed structure of the superwind in the context of interacting winds from clumps of super star clusters.
