It figures, we finally get an Authority book . . . not just one of the characters . . . and most of the book is actually about StormWatch. By the way, do you realize it's been about 7 months since Authority #2 came out. And about a year since issue #1 came out. That's a long time between issues. I'm just saying. Anyways, the Authority is dealing with their usual end of the world stuff, when afterwards Jenny asks her 2 daddies, the MidNighter and Apollo, what gives them nightmares. They don't want to tell her, but we know that it's Bendix. Well as soon as that issue comes up, of course, we got right to StormWatch Prime. Bendix's son is now the new Weatherman, and he's trying to dig up all of his father's old files and garbage and stuff. Well he opens up this one file, only to find out that his father had a secret bunker somewhere in Arizona. So Jackson King puts the team together, he even digs out his old Batallion outfit, and they go to Arizona to kick some ass. Well . . . that's not really the plan, but of course it's only logical that Henry would have had lots of defenses around his most prized possessions. Which he does in the form of his Thinker-Tanks. They trash the lot of them. But then in what looks like a scene from the Transformers, they all piece together in to one big robot. They're all set to give it another shot, when all of the sudden the Authority shows up. I'm not sure if this story is going to carry over in to the Authority #2, or if there's going to be a StormWatch prime. But either way, it should be a hell of a fight. This issues brought to us by Christos Gage on the scripts, and Darick Robertson on the pencils. Darick's getting a lot of recognition right now for his work over on the Boys. And I gotta say, his stuff looks just as good here. Even though there's really not that much Authority in it . . this is still a great book. I can't wait to see how it all washes out.
