Named by James Gunn as an influence for Gods and Monsters, the first
chapter of the new DC Universe film and television slate! This New York
Times bestselling story inspires the upcoming film THE AUTHORITY.
The Authority are heroes in only the strictest sense of the word.
Ruthless and unforgiving, this group of insanely powerful superhumans
face down countless menaces to Earth, protecting mankind with their cold
version of justice. An invasion from an alternate Earth, an
international terrorist who is laying waste to major cities and a
hostile alien intelligence who calls himself God all fall under their
rule.
This is THE AUTHORITY. Pay allegiance. Or get your head kicked in.
Created by legendary writer Warren Ellis (THE WILD STORM,
TRANSMETROPOLITAN) and artists Bryan Hitch (JUSTICE LEAGUE), Paul
Neary (The Ultimates) and Laura Martin (WONDER WOMAN), THE
AUTHORITY is considered one of the most groundbreaking titles in modern
comics history. Collects issues #1-12, PLANETARY/THE AUTHORITY: RULING
THE WORLD and a new story from WILDSTORM: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS.
