Authority #1 - Wildstorm


One of the coolest new super teams out there, is back. Well . . . . . technically they're not back this issue. Not yet. But their Bleed ship is. They should probably be joining the story next issue. And, besides the team and the characters, we have Grant Morrison writing it, and Gene Ha drawing it. I don't know that this book could be in any better hands. With this creative team, this incarnation should be better than any of the previous 3. Basically in this issue, a Norwegian nuclear sub is trying to find out what is going on with some anomalous sonar readings that they're getting. Their getting something big, something really big, in a place where there was nothing before. The 300 plus crew of the sub are all killed. We then see, what appears to be an American team, put together to go check out what has happened to the Norwegian effort. All they find is a sunken sub, and a lot of dead crew. Oh yeah, they also find a Bleed ship resting on the bottom of the ocean. For now, we can only assume that this is the Authority's ship. But that's my guess. How it got there, and what it's doing there is anybody's guess. With Grant writing this, I really expect to see a lot of new and imaginitive ideas. With him, that appears to be as natural as breathing. And Gene's art this issue, was just astonishing. Some of his best work to date. I was expecting great things from this title, and I think we've just seen the beginning of that. The time to get on this book is now! Don't wait for everybody else to tell you how good it is. See for yourself.
