Widescreen entertainment at its finest!
THE AUTHORITY Volume 2

Click For Larger Image     The controversial, hard-hitting super-hero team that spawned countless imitators returns in a new ongoing series…and this time, there are no limits!

     May marks the return of Jack Hawksmoor, the Midnighter, Apollo, the Engineer, Swift, and the Doctor…and their greatest adventures are yet to come. This series will have it all: action! adventure! complex international politics! interdimensional invasions!

     THE AUTHORITY Volume 2, a new Wildstorm Eye of the Storm title, features the creative team behind the 3-part THE AUTHORITY: High Stakes story that ran in March’s STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES #9, SLEEPER #3 and WILDCATS VERSION 3.0 #8: writer Robbie Morrison (THE AUTHORITY: SCORCHED EARTH, 2000 A.D.) and artists Dwayne Turner (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, Curse of Spawn) and Sal Regla (STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES). The series kicks off with the 4-part story arc “Reality Incorporated.”

     When a mysterious series of attacks is launched against major population centers across the world, the Authority rushes to the scene, containing the assault in classic, widescreen style. But they soon learn that the attacks aren't arbitrary — they're in retaliation for an Earth-based, galaxy-spanning war that has been waged for decades! The truth behind this dimensional destruction will surprise even the Authority!

     Meanwhile, popular opinion slowly turns against the self-proclaimed protectors of Earth…and everyone knows that the key to survival in our pop culture-oriented society is popularity!

     This project is supported with a full-color poster, trade ads, house ads, and a minisite at www.wildstorm.com.
