Representaion In Favor Of Books The Authority, Vol. 2: Under New Management (The Authority #2)

Are we ready for yet another take on superhero morality?Let's hope so, because The Authority: Relentless retools old ideas for a new century. Warren Ellis has his heroes think globally as they kick butt locally, stopping or slowing down to consider how they can use their powers to "make the world a better place."How he can pull this off in our oh-so-ironic age is an artistic mystery, but the results are clear: superheroes with believable personalities and community spirit. Two story arcs, each encompassing terror and evil on a global scale, pit the group of seven against armies of superhumans dispatched in scenes reminiscent of the best action movies. Many of the characters from the older Stormwatch series reappear here, and fans will be pleased to learn that Ellis has, if anything, improved his depth and storytelling prowess.Bryan Hitch's penciling, Paul Neary's inking, and Laura Depuy's coloring are all equally responsible for the gloriously lovely artwork--from interdimensional spaceships to dismembered spinal cords, they make saving the world beautiful. --Rob Lightner

Weigh Up Regarding Books The Authority, Vol. 2: Under New Management (The Authority #2)

The Ellis story is a fun capstone to his widescreen capes comics with SF high concepts & Utopian consciousness.The Millar story is an embarrassing pastiche of Marvel characters leavened with nonsensical rape humor, or, as I said, a Millar story.

People. Do not. Talk like this in real life. Also, Midnighter and Apollo in a gay relationship and being the Batman and Superman clones that they are is about 85% of the reason most people like this series. I will be judging it on other things.So Stormwatch was a bust for me, and so is the first part of this Authority series. I just don't think Warren Ellis knows how to write proper dialogue. Mark Millar for all his flaws, makes this comic a little more bearable but still not enough to keep me

Received from fellow Goodreads member, Martin - Thanks Martin.Even though I hadn't read volume 1, I liked this. The setting is a believable world where the heroes have decided to make the Earth a better place by directly involving themselves in world events. While all the while having classic world menacing super-hero events.I now have a problem... I liked this and I'll want to read the other stories... but dammit! my comic-book stories budget is already stretched over its limit!

Jennie Sparks, the literal spirit of the 20th century, dies saving the world from a galactic entity so powerful and vast it may as well be called "God." Who will lead The Authority now? Hold on just a moment, faithful reader. As The Doctor points out, "when the spirit of the 20th century dies (on December, 31st 1999) what do you think happens the next day? (January 1, 2000)" Now the race is on to locate the newly reborn Jennie Sparks, now Jennie Quantum, the spirit of the 21st century! But The

Spoiler warning: ..............In my opinion, the relationship between Midnighter and Apollo is enough to justify the existence of this entire series. So yeah, if you've ever wondered what Superman and Batman would be like if they were in a long-term relationship, this is probably the best example you're going to find without hitting the fanfiction sites. It's not campy or tongue-in-cheek, either. It's not the focus of the series either. In fact, one of my favorite parts of the story is that

Per my review of the Volume 1 trade paperback, this volume had to make up for a couple glaring sins. As in, I wanted real characters with moderately nuanced plotlines. Volume 2 delivers. Not in spades, and not even graciously, but delivers nonetheless. Mostly because Warren Ellis didn't write the second storyline collected here. That didactic bastard was replaced with another didactic bastard who delights in writing commentary on Marvel Comics characters. Which feels like the autoerotic

Entertaining. Interesting concepts. Somewhat extreme violence and sex references here & there.The illustrators Bryan Hitch (The Ultimates) and Frank Quitely are awesome.
