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.

It's an enjoyable serious. Definitely a more intense, more serious take on the JLA characters than DC would ever allow. Of course, it also has the relationship between Midnighter (basically Batman) and Apollo (basically Superman), which DC also would never allow.
I can upload scans of those 12 issues for you if you're interested.

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!

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

Its a great series that turned into a good series, but that was really more Warren Ellis blowing off a little steam. If you get a chance, read Planetary also written by Ellis. He twists a lot of status quo characters and ideas into really neat new ideas. VERY ENTERTAINING.
