Review
Are we ready for yet another take on superhero morality? Let's hope so, because The Authority: Relentless retools old ideas for a new century. Warren Ellis has his heroes think globally as they kick butt locally, stopping or slowing down to consider how they can use their powers to "make the world a better place." How he can pull this off in our oh-so-ironic age is an artistic mystery, but the results are clear: superheroes with believable personalities and community spirit. Two story arcs, each encompassing terror and evil on a global scale, pit the group of seven against armies of superhumans dispatched in scenes reminiscent of the best action movies. Many of the characters from the older StormWatch series reappear here, and fans will be pleased to learn that Ellis has, if anything, improved his depth and storytelling prowess. Bryan Hitch's penciling, Paul Neary's inking, and Laura Depuy's coloring are all equally responsible for the gloriously lovely artwork-- from interdimensional spaceships to dismembered spinal cords, they make saving the world beautiful. --Rob Lightner

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Meet the New Bosses The hugely acclaimed team of Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) and Bryan Hitch (JLA) conclude their earth-rattling run on The Authority, just in time for the super-cool team of Mark Millar (Judge Dredd/ JLA) and Frank Quitely (Batman: The Scottish Connection) to come aboard and rock your world. In the first of two, epic story-arcs our heros battle god, who is keen on wiping out the viral infestation (ie. mankind) that has colonised earth. In the second, Millar and Quitely pit the Authority against a seemingly infinite number of superheroes. Essential reading! The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005281623
