I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

the Authority #9 - WildStorm
This issue the team wraps up their little soiree into this little hamlet control by someone who is manipulating time. It turns out that he's an agent of the government . . an ex-agent, who's been fighting for Queen and country since the late 50's. His weapon of choice? He's found a way to weaponize time. But with everything that's happened in this world . . he's gone off his rocker. He can't accept reality, so . . he's created his own. The problem is, his altered reality is starting to affect the normal reality around it. So the British government needs to take him out. Eventually they do just that, with the Authority's help, and things go back to normal. Now whether that's better or worse . . who can say? They eventually make it back to the Carrier and find out that Jack's got a little pep back in his step. But more on that in the future. This book really is ok. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are doing a decent job with the story, and it seems like they're trying out some new ideas here. And why not? They're basically starting from scratch like the rest of the world here. I also think that Simon Coleby is getting a little better every issue. His style, to me, really didn't fit the book at first. But it seems like he's making it more and more his own every issue. Now if we could just get all the characters back to 100% . . then this would seem like an Authority book again. They're kind of a shadow of themselves right now. But I don't think that'll last forever. Eventually they'll be back to kicking ass and taking names. Actually . . the sooner the better. Please!
