the Authority #16 - WildStorm

It's amazing how quickly Jack Hawksmoor takes out Kaizen Gamorra when he gets his powers back. You see, Kaizen and Cybernary made one big mistake when they decided to capture Jack . . they brought him to the only real remaining city on Earth. It was only a matter of time before it healed him. And when it does . . he makes real quick work of them. Also, Angie and Swift are on their way there to rescue him. He doesn't need the rescue anymore, but he could use their help to make sure that Kaizen doesn't bother the world ever again. Long story short . . Jack is in complete control of the city. So he drops the shield long enough for Swift to drop the frozen Apollo, the Burn, straight into the center of it. He then raises the shields and locks everybody inside. He brings the city down near un-London to evacuate the residents Then he sinks the city, with the Burn inside, to the deepest parts of the Ocean. Now they just have to find the Midnighter. We know that he's in Scotland, but he doesn't know where all this stuff . . this mysticism is coming from. When he finally comes face to face with the ruler of the kingdom, he's surprised to find out that it's actually . . the Doctor, Habib. So we should find out next issue what happened to him. Anyways, this issue was brought to us by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Drew Johnson, Mike Miller and Simon Coleby. I thought it was a good issue, and hopefully we'll get it all wrapped up next time. But, the really big news is . . do you remember those 2 issues of the Authority that came out quite a while ago by Grant Morrison and Gene Ha? They came out in Nov of '06 and April of '07. Anyways, shortly after they came out WildStorm switched over to this World's End storyline. Anyways, after almost 3 years we're going to pick that story back up again. It'll be called the Authority - the Lost Year now. And issue #3 will be out this month. Grant Morrison and Keith Giffen with handle the scripts, with Darick Robertson and Trevor Scott on pencils. To keep the feel with those first 2 issues, Gene Ha will be doing the covers. We get a preview in the back of the book, and it looks fantastic. I can't wait to see this book when it comes out.
