Fandom Overview: The Authority

Sep 06, 2009 17:04

Greetings, seekers of the good crack! I'm 20thcenturyvole, and please bear with me, as I've never done a fandom overview before. But hopefully this one will serve. The Authority fandom is pretty small - it's not a hugely well-known comic - but like most tiny fandoms, what there is is of pretty kickass quality. As a source for fandom, it's got it all: mayhem, ( Read more... )

You had me at "canonically gay couple" and "moral complexity". I thought DC denied the very existence of such things.

Hee, I thought so too. Often as not, the main players of DC treat the Authority like borderline-supervillains, which can get annoying. It's very much worth it for Apollo and Midnighter, though. :D

(Also that is a totally adorable icon. I <3 those comics!)

Okay, I'm seriously going to have to check this series out.

Do! Ellis and Brubaker's runs are particularly good, and the current storyline is amazingly well-executed (as you can probably tell from the fragments at scans_daily). I really would love this fandom to be bigger.

Technically, the last thing I need right now is another new fandom. *sheepish grin* Which means I'll probably be completely addicted to it by this time next month.

I feel... guilty about that. *shifty eyes* Yes.

"If it were a Facebook page instead of a comic, they would be each other's "It's Complicated.""

Pretty much! Oh man, I love this series.

It is thoroughly awesome. :D

lol, it's been a while since I managed to get into a fandom that's managed to grab my complete attention - so the Authority was a joy to read over the summer. I'm just sad that I got onto the train so late.

OK, you convinced me. Having the spirit of the 20th century as a team leader is just too awesome. I just started reading the tome 1, love it for now.

20thcenturyvole September 14 2009, 23:09:58 UTC

Yay! :D It has its ups and downs, but Ellis' and Brubaker's runs are damn good.
