This is the Authority before Armageddon hit the WildStorm Universe. This is the Authority that we all like to see. I enjoy the regular title, but . . I think it pales in comparison to the first and second series of this team. I'm not saying I don't like it, but . . it doesn't make near the impact that the first series did. Anyways, these are those characters, I assume, shortly before the WildStorm Universe was thrown into turmoil. By the way . . that's a fantastic Gene Ha cover. Anyways, during this year, it appears that the Carrier is hoping around the bleed, and the multi-verse. They've ended up in a low-energy universe. At least that's what they thought. Come to find out . . there's some kind of jelly-fish like creature that's wrapped itself around the Earth. Apparently it's feeding off the life-energy of those living on it. They don't know how long it's been there. It may have been there for eons. But . . they do know that their appearance . . their 'higher energy', seems to have caused some sort of disturbance. They don't think they've woken it, but . . they have caused it to stir in it's sleep a bit. And just that . . is causing a ripple affect among the inhabitants of Earth. Aggression has gone up, tempers have flared, tolerance has decreased and the suicide rate is through the roof. So the Authority knows that they need to hurry up and leave. But . . there's a problem. As soon as they arrived in this universe, the baby-universe that powers the carrier . . it disappeared. So . . they've gotten one of the citizens of Earth and their plan is to tap into the power of this creature, through him . . to jump-start the Carrier. The problem is . . it'll most likely leave him dead, and . . even then they don't know that it'll be enough to save this world. Grant Morrison and Keith Giffen are doing the story here, and they're doing an incredible job. Both are writers that can bring fantastic ideas to a story. And this is just the book to do it. Also Darick Robertson and Trevor Scott do the art. I assume this is probably going to be a 12 issue series . . 'The Lost Year', but I don't know that for sure. All I can say is . . enjoy it while it lasts.
