A
AUTHORITY:
HUMAN ON THE INSIDE HC
Written by John Ridley
Art and cover by Ben Oliver
From acclaimed
novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (Three Kings, Everybody Smokes
in Hell) and hot new artist Ben Oliver (Puncture) comes the WildStorm
event of the year!
The Authority,
Earth's last of defense, have performed God-like acts in their defense
of the planet, whether defeating ancient gods or fending off interdimensional
invasion forces. But these brave acts haven't always endeared them
to many in power...particularly in the United States. The President,
tired of being embarrassed by what he views as a bunch of costumed
freaks, sets a plan in motion that could very well destroy the Authority
from the inside...a plan so cunning and unexpected, it'll shake
the Authority to their very core. And with an unexpected threat
from the future on Earth's doorstep, if could very well mean global
extinction!
