Product Description

Product Description
High above the planet, aboard a fifty-mile-wide alien vessel. The Authority - seven awesomely powerful super-humans - act as global bouncers for the human race. If you threaten the life and liberty of Earth's inhabitants, they'll do whatever they need to do to set things straight! With the President out to discreetly dispose of them and a seemingly global depression epidemic on their hands, it's only a matter of time before The Authority are forced to react...This stand-alone story is by the brilliant new creative team of acclaimed novelist, screenwriter and journalist John Ridley and up-and-coming artist Ben Oliver.

About the Author

Ben Oliver is a relative newcomer to the comics scene and has worked on the highly acclaimed Puncture for fledgling UK comics company Com.x.

4.0 out of 5 stars A return to form ??, 27 Dec 2004
By A Customer
What could be more apocalyptic for humanity than the end of time itself ? This seems to be a return to form for The Authority, whose original premise was of massive concepts, bizarre/original ideas, questions about who really runs the world and the frailty of(super)humans - all of this is here!
The script is reminiscent of Mark Millar (in fact it is really a sequel to Transfer of Power), the artwork is effective but still a pale second behind Hitch et al's cinematic style from earlier issues. The real adversary in the plot is revealed only at the end (after the annoyances are dealt with - like the US govt.) and in a fabulously understated way - one of the devices that makes The Authority so original and contemporary, I'm glad the new authors don't lose site of this; oh and once again Jack Hawksmoor proves to be the coolest, most "21st century" hero ever with a stunning coup-de-grace at the end.

It's not the best Authority ever, but a slow clawing-back of the early days.

Anyone who has not seen The Authority before and wants grown-up, challenging superheros - read this and all the others, it will change the way you look at graphic novels.
