Product Description:
High above Earth aboard a fifty-mile-wide alien vessel powered by a baby universe live the Authority; the alien-designed King of Cities Jack Hawksmoor; the shamanic Doctor; the winged warrior Shen Li-Min; the lithe cyborg Engineer; the leather-clad Midnighter and the solar-powered force of nature known as Apollo. When interference by world governments caused an alien spaceship to crash into Florida, the Authority were forced to take matters into their own hands and are now, quite literally, running the planet. They are the only real superpower left on Earth, but after their coup things aren't going quite as well as planned...Featuring a new creative team taking the Authority places they haven't been before!

This was certainly not one of the better Authority stories. The art was about as good as any other average Authority graphic novel, but the story was really unimaginative.

This most recent Authority tpb is a bit of a disappointment. The first story about the Authority fighting a new religion is a poor use of the concept of the team, kind of a "they've faced government, now they'll face religion" cliche. The second story about Jenny Quantum's twin rehashes Transfer of Power's "what if there was a moral opposite of the Authority" plotline. Also, dwayne and portaccio just aren't great pencillers. Buy the other collections, but this one you can pass up.
