What a cool book. This one is really just a pissing match between the Authority and Stormwatch Prime. Last issue, the Authority discovered that Henry Bendix had a hidden bunker out in the deserts of Arizona. Fearing what they might find there, they immediately headed out to confiscate it's contents. The problem is, Stormwatch found out the same information. And, not trusting the members of the Authority, whom used to be members of Stormwatch, they immediately headed out to stop them. Old allegiances and transgressions are immediately put to the test as all the members start squaring off against one another. Neither team seems to have a clear advantage. Finally, in a verbal volley, Hawksmoor says something to Cannon that really pisses him off. So he hits him with everything that he's got. Unfortunately, he's no where near a city, so his powers are greatly diminished. And then he's quickly taken out. The issue ends with both Jackson King and the Midnighter declaring, "That's it! The motherf@#$ing gloves are off." Cool story by Christos Gage with fantastic art by Darick Robertson. Personally, I'm just glad to see the Authority on a regular basis. Even if it is just for a monthly "super-fight".
