Comics?

Has anyone of you read THE AUTHORITY?

I'd love to read it, I'd even buy it. Is it any good? I'm looking for more information then the amazon reviews, -.- ...

I mean, read this interview quote of the writer:
The Authority feels like a crusade to me at the moment. Superheroes have been useless for too long. Let's make them mean something again.

The Authority is genuinely one of my favourite comic series *but* it depends on the writer - the Warren Ellis run, unsurprisingly, is brilliant. It's revolutionary and political and the characters are fantastic. Millar does some good stuff but I hate his characterisation of Apollo and Midnighter with a blinding passion and one of my friends says that he turns them into a bunch of thugs, which I can see. It's still good but not Ellis-good.

I actually wrote a The Authority fic for yuletide, I love it so much. (The Fractured Traveller).

It's crack, it's well crafted, it has some of the best comic book characters and I do love it but it has some flaws ;). I'd say give it a go, particularly the Ellis run!

That sounds fantastic! I'm glad I found this gem of a comic series today.

Ha! Yay! There are people writing about it? Yay! *opens your fic reverently, to be read first thing in the morn tomorrow*

^_^

There's not much fic around but it is a great series!

Do you know the weird moments in life when you do something or learn about something new and the whole world seems it the perfect moment to use innuendos or blatant hints of it around you?

Why is everbody thinking it's the one moment to bombard me with TT/YJ icons when I write Kon/Bart fic? Huh? Weird...

[scribewraith]

*grin* it is so a hint from the universe!

True.dat

Right, plot thing, Supes can totally squeeze the hell outta some piece of coal while heating it up and get a diamond. Could Kon?

hmm even though this is five days later, i still don't know - he's got tactile telekinesis (which we all have such fun taking the piss - oh look tactile telekinesis, he says as he picks up a glass)

[severusslave]

(Yeah, he's the hit on parties. :P It's like magic...)

Hm, k, then I'll have him bother Clark about it.
