Vol. 2 of the Authority takes Warren Ellis’ great work on Vol. 1 (12 issues) and continues it through the Mark Millar filter. This could have gone either way really, but thankfully, this is a very strong follow up, with just enough change of feel and voice to make it different, yet similar enough to feel like a sequel, not a continuation of Ellis’ work. That being said, Millar is doing some of his strongest work here, given characters who can be more or less what he wants them to be. I feel like this was what gave him the confidence/idea/drive to do Ultimates. (Ultimates being the parallel universe version of the Marvel U Avengers/SHIELD/others. But mostly a classic Avengers in the way you’ve never seen them…The Ultimates) Read NOW if you haven’t. If Ultimates took things a bit too far, the Authority is a little better behaved, and usually has the best interests of humanity at heart. Millar has a somewhat…juvenile? sense of humour, yet, so do I, I can be Shallow. (just like the best of us) So some of the jokes here were pretty good for that. Mostly the making fun of Superman/Batman in the guise of Apollo/Midnighter, the gay Superhero couple. That being said, by the end of the volume, it’s actually this couple that provides the love story that’s somewhat touching, to my surprise (and delight). But the best is the team that goes up against the Authority, who are an obvious riff on the classic Avengers… There’s even a magazine cover of Apollo and Midnighter, referred to as “The World’s Finest Couple” another classic burn on Supes and Bats! Like Ellis’ volume, this collection has 3 separate 4 part storylines: The Nativity,Earth Inferno, Brave New World. As with most things in 3s, the middle is the weak part here (might also have to do with not being Frank Quitely’s artwork). Nativity involves the Authority finding and guarding Baby Jenny Quantum (reincarnation of Jenny Sparks, Spirit of the 20th Century), and going up against a whole bunch of pretender teams. Earth Inferno, the Earth itself is going nuts after everything that’s happening, and the Doctor has to look for help from a previous Doctor…who’s a genocidal Sociopath in super-prison… Brave New World involves an attack on the Authority that replaces them with a more tame version with more powers, less benevolent morals, and who are owned by the 1% who run the world. The Authority acting as an authority over the whole world didn’t sit well with the rest of humanity, even though much of it was beneficial on the whole. I like the philosophical ideas examined in the book, through the guise of superheroes, and a lot of the ways things get solved are actually a LOT more interesting and smart than just punching and blasting things. There’s lots of Millar’s personality here, especially in Midnighter, who’s a badass mofo on the level with Batman with Wolverine morals. (ie. AWESOME). There’s quite a few Midnighter moments in the book that made me go: One of the best lines: Henchman: “Feels Kinda Weird Torching Civilians” Bad Guy: “Civilians are civilized soldier. These people are French.” So. There’s stuff to laugh at, stuff for insiders (anyone of the Shallow Readers should get a few of these), a few dated references (Bush, Gore, Clinton, etc.), some great action, interesting ideas, and most importantly, super characters who I actually care about. I look forward to seeing the rest of the adventures of this gang, and especially when I see who else has written this series following: Brian Azzarello, Ed Brubaker, Grant Morrison, but then not such great ones…so that being said, read Ellis’ and Millar’s and decide from there what you’d like to do. This still holds up pretty well over a decade later, which cannot be said for a lot of things in the comic universe…hell, DC will have rebooted 6 more times by then.

Writer of unreleased television series, Sikeside. ADAPTATIONS: Sikeside, an unreleased television program by Millar, has been optioned for theatrical release. SIDELIGHTS: Mark Millar is a highly successful writer of English-language comics, known for bringing a somewhat satirical, postmodern sensibility to the genre. Millar's first success was on the already established comic book series "The Authority," published by Wildstorm Productions. He followed this with work on several popular series that updated classic Marvel characters for new audiences. These included "Ultimate X-Men," "Marvel Knights Spider-Man," "Ultimate Fantastic Four," and "Wolverine." He created the best-selling graphic novel Superman: Red Son, in which the Superman story is rewritten so that young Superman is raised under Communist rule in the Soviet Union. In 2007, Millar collaborated with John Romita, Jr., with whom he had previously worked on "Wolverine," to create Kick-Ass, advertised as the most violent comic ever written. Millar's early success, "The Authority," features a group of superheroes who cut through the red tape. In a cynical twist, the stories acknowledge that in traditional superhero tales, the real villains usually get away, only to confront the hero again. The Authority makes its own laws and takes on missions that vary from foiling corrupt governments to saving the lives of refugees. But despite their good deeds, the Authority members are more narcissistic than noble, reveling in their power and fame. In "The Authority," Millar takes classic superhero characters and gives them new quirks. The Hulk is characterized as a mass murderer instead of a misunderstood mutant; Giant-Man is guilty of domestic violence; and Thor is dangerous radical. The superheroes battle extraterrestrials and their own inner demons. Millar was also instrumental in creating the groundbreaking Marvel Comics series "Civil War." This unusual saga pits various major Marvel superheroes against each other in an epic struggle. Millar commented in an interview with a Newsarama.com contributor: "Above all else, this was a beat-em-up featuring every hero in the Marvel Universe. One of the huge differences between Marvel and DC for me as a wee boy was that Marvel guys would always meet, fight and then realize the error of their ways. It was peculiar, but also very unpredictable and exciting. That was honestly my big intention with the book. Superheroes fighting. Does it get more lowbrow than that? I'm sorry, but that's what excites my inner ten-year-old and I'm heartened to hear retailers and friends tell me how much kids are into it." Asked if "Civil War" was meant to be read as allegory on the political situation in the Middle East, Millar replied: "Who cares what I think of current U.S. foreign policy? People just want to see Hercules braining Thor." Reviewing a compilation of "The Authority" issues, a Publishers Weekly writer stated that it "turns the concept of superheroics on its head in loving, cynical fashion and tells a mean, fast story along the way." Reviewing the same compilation for Entertainment Weekly, Jeff Jensen wrote: "Exhilarating yet ruthless, this may be the final word on superheroes." BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL SOURCES: PERIODICALS.

The Authority (comics) The Authority is a superhero comic book series published by DC Comics under the Wildstorm imprint. It was created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, and follows the adventures of the Authority, a superhero team mainly composed of Ellis-created characters from Stormwatch . Contents. Members. The founding members of the Authority were: , "The Spirit of the Twentieth Century"; the group's founder and original leader. , "The Sun God". a.k.a. Lucas Trent, "Night's Bringer of War". a.k.a. Jeroen Thornedike, "The Shaman". The second Engineer a.k.a. Angela Spica, "The Maker". , "The King of Cities"; leader of the Authority from 2000 to 2005, and again from 2008 to 2010. a.k.a. Shen Li-Min, "The World's Greatest Huntress". Following the "Outer Dark" storyarc, Jenny Sparks was replaced with: , "The Spirit of the 21st Century"; leader of the Authority from 2005 to 2008. After the "Revolution" maxi-series, new members of the Authority included: a.k.a Habib ben Hassan, "The Shaman"; Thornedike's successor and , "The Spirit of Life"; former member of Stormwatch. Beginning with #18 of volume five the team roster underwent a major change. Jack Hawksmoor, Swift and Engineer remained on the team, where they were joined by new members: a.k.a. Christine Trelane; former co-leader of Stormwatch. a.k.a. Michael Cray. a.k.a Victoria Ngengi; former member of Stormwatch. a.k.a. Roxanne Spaulding; former member of Gen 13. a.k.a.

The Authority's base of operations is the Carrier, a sentient, gigantic, interdimensional "shiftship" existing everywhere on Earth at the same time and capable of moving through every imaginable plane of existence. Storylines. Publication history. Volume 1. Ellis/Hitch era. "One of the reasons I turned their STORMWATCH into THE AUTHORITY is that I found out that, despite the fact that no-one was buying STORMWATCH, they kept it going because they liked reading it in the [Wildstorm] office and wanted to keep me employed. And I felt so bloody awful about that, and at the same time had been so struck by Bryan Hitch’s STORMWATCH issues, that the train of thought that led to THE AUTHORITY began." [ 1 ] The Ellis/Hitch run of The Authority lasted 12 issues, divided into three four-issue storyarcs: The Circle , Shiftships , and Outer Dark . They showed increasingly dangerous enemies such as an international terrorist previously seen in Stormwatch ; an invasion from an alternative Earth; and "God", the hostile alien creator of the Solar System. Millar/Quitely era. Replacing Ellis and Hitch after issue #12 were writer Mark Millar and artist Frank Quitely. During the Millar/Quietly run, the Authority was now under Jack Hawksmoor's leadership following Jenny Sparks' death at the end of the 20th Century. They faced multiple foes such as a mad scientist and his army of superhumans who wanted to influence the 21st Century through Jenny Spark's successor Jenny Quantum, a previous Doctor who manipulated the Earth itself, and a duplicate team of superheroes modeled on the Authority that was created and backed by the G7 group of nations. Also during the run, Jenny Quantum was adopted by Apollo and Midnighter after they were married and the Doctor worked through his heroin addiction after faltering in battle. A number of panels and covers during the Millar/Quitely run, which was published in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, were censored by DC Comics. [ 2 ] The team's unilateral military interventionism was compared to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [ 3 ] Volume 2. The series was subsequently restarted, [ 4 ] (with a planned "Mature Readers" relaunch by Brian Azzarello and Glenn Fabry being scrapped in the wake of 9/11), [ 5 ] and was written by Robbie Morrison [ 6 ] with art by Dwayne Turner (except for the single issue "Behemoth", which featured art by Tan Eng Huat, and "Street Life", which was penciled by Whilce Portacio). This incarnation of the series lasted for 15 issues (numbered 0 to 14). Prior to issue 10, the series was part of the "Coup d'état" crossover that included The Authority , Stormwatch: Team Achilles , Sleeper , and Wildcats v3.0. The crossover revolved around the Authority taking over the United States of America. Revolution. The series was again restarted in October 2004 as The Authority: Revolution twelve issue mini-series, written by Ed Brubaker with art by Dustin Nguyen and Richard Friend. It focused on the troubles the Authority faced as the rulers of America. Volume 3. Morrison/Ha era. Morrison and Ha's first issue was released in December 2006. It followed a family man named Ken in his search for a downed submarine. The sub apparently encountered something massive and unexpected in the depths of the ocean that caused it to be destroyed. Careful readers will notice one of the Authority's "doors" appeared just before the interior of the sub ignited. Indeed, when Ken finds the ship, many of the crew is missing. The issue ends as Ken and his search party encounters the Authority's Carrier, 50 miles long, lying on the ocean floor. Notably, no members of the Authority appear in this first issue. The second issue came out five months after the first and dealt with the Authority's reaction to crash-landing on a less developed Earth than theirs. Ken meets The Authority but begins to question their methodology. In September 2007, Gene Ha was quoted at Newsarama as saying that he did not believe his run with Morrison would continue. ". I don't think The Authority #3 by Grant Morrison and Gene Ha is ever coming out. Grant is busy redesigning the DC Universe and I've moved onto new projects. Most importantly, it seems that editor Scott Dunbier has been forced out of Wildstorm. There is no #3 script, there may never be a #3 script." [ 8 ] Scott Peterson announced at Wondercon 2008 that he had talked to Morrison two weeks earlier about The Authority , and there was "very serious progress" and it would start shipping again toward the end of the year. [ 9 ] When asked to comment upon his inability to complete further issues of The Authority , Morrison has said that '"Authority was just a disaster." He said that they were doing it and running late when 52 started, but when he saw the reviews to first issue, "I said fuck it."' [ 10 ] The Lost Year. On 19 April 2008, Wildstorm announced Keith Giffen would complete Grant Morrison's scripts. [ 11 ] Giffen unfortunately ran into an immediate problem: "I stepped into a book that was in the midst of a type of storyline that is probably my least favorite in comics. And that is, heroes come to our earth". [ 12 ] However, according to Giffen, this was only the first short arc of the longer story: The remaining issues of volume 4 were published by Wildstorm under the title The Authority: The Lost Year . Giffen was credited alongside Morrison as the writer, with several artists contributing. The series ran a total of twelve issues, including the original two by Morrison. Prime. In July 2007, it was announced that Christos Gage and Darick Robertson would do an intended storyarc as a miniseries due to the scheduling problems with the Morrison/Ha run on the title. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The resulting six-issue miniseries entitled The Authority: Prime was planned to have spanned issues #6 to #11 of The Authority (vol. 4). [ 15 ] It featured the renewed Stormwatch Prime who, along with the Authority, investigate a recently discovered secret bunker that once belonged to Henry Bendix. Volume 4. Abnett/Lanning/Coleby era. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning relaunched the book in May 2008 in the wake of the "World's End" event and took over the writing duties, accompanied by artist Simon Coleby, [ 16 ] [ 17 ] writing the first seventeen issues of the series. Senior Wildstorm editor Ben Abernathy also said of four issues that had already been completed by the new team, "I can say honestly, based on the four issues of script and art that are already in the can, people will NOT be disappointed!" [ 18 ] Abnett and Lanning's contract with Marvel Comics included a clause which allowed them to finish their existing projects, including their run on The Authority . [ 19 ] Bernardin/Freeman/Barrionuevo era. Writers Marc Bernardin & Adam Freeman and artist Al Barrionuevo worked on the book for a four-issue run from #18 to #21, including the epilogue in issue 17. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] [ 22 ] Taylor/Barrionuevo era. Writer Tom Taylor (writer of several Star Wars titles including the Star Wars: Invasion series) took over The Authority with issue #22, [ 23 ] (with artist Mike S. Miller filling in for two issues for Al Barrinuevo), until the series concluded with #29. Collected editions.
