I'm thrilled that we have a regular Authority book coming out monthly again. Ok . . I'm sorry that they have to live in this dystopian future, but . . it sure makes for some good stories. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are doing a great job so far. I'm also really digging Simon Coleby's art. The moodiness of his art is perfect for this series. There are so really fantastic panels in this book. Basically the the Carrier crash-landed in the middle of London. Now the Authority are trying to gather up, and give shelter, to as many survivors as they can. Really they feel guilty for not being able to see, or stop, all of this ahead of time. And, I think they feel guilty for crash landing in the middle of London. But they've got all kinds of new craziness to fight now. First they've got these Soulstorm, that are really exactly what they sound like. The ghost of all the people that died are stuck on the Earth for some reason, and when the time or atmosphere is right, they manifest themselves in a huge torrent of protoplasm and emotion that threatens to engulf all they come in to contact with. Plus now they've got Eidolon out in the streets of London amassing an army of the gangs and hoodlums. They're plundering the streets of London, and raping and killing anything they come into contact with. The MidNighter has made it his personal mission to stop him. But more on that next issue. I like how the dynamic of the group has changed. All of the characters are fighting to find and define their place in this new world. And honestly, as they say, things are only going to get worse before they get better. I really think creatively this book is fantastic. I also enjoyed the back-up story about Dane and Lynch. I'm thrilled this book is on my list again.
