It’s time the world answered to a higher power…The Authority!
COUP D’ÉTAT

Click For Larger Image     Everything in the WildStorm universe is about to collide in the weekly-shipping, 4-part miniseries COUP D’ÉTAT featuring art by Jim Lee and a host of popular Eye of the Storm creators!

     A who’s-who of fan-favorite creators come together for this landmark crossover that brings together The Authority, Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Wildcats, and the villainy of the enigmatic Tao. COUP D’ÉTAT — SLEEPER, by Ed Brubaker (GOTHAM CENTRAL, CATWOMAN) and featuring art by Jim Lee and covers by Lee and Lee Bermejo, sets the stage for the drama, as Tao tricks the U.S. government into committing an interdimensional atrocity on its own soil. How will the Authority react?

     The action continues in COUP D’ÉTAT — STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES, written by Micah Ian Wright with art by Carlos D’Anda and covers by D’Anda and Bermejo. As the Authority begins to dismantle what’s left of the U.S. government, Stormwatch: Team Achilles is forced underground, where they’re left to plot the overthrow of a superdictatorship.

Click For Larger Image     In the penultimate chapter, COUP D’ÉTAT — WILDCATS VERSION 3.0, written by Joe Casey with art by Alé Garza and Trevor Scott and covers by Garza and Bermejo, Spartan and Grifter wacth as the United States government and military are systematically torn apart. How will they react to this coup, and what are the ramifications for Halo?

     It all culminates in COUP D’ÉTAT — THE AUTHORITY, written by Robbie Morrison with art by Whilce Portacio and covers by Portacio and Bermejo. With evidence of the United States’ culpability in the interdimensional incident, the Authority comes to one conclusion: For good or bad, it's time they took control.
