I may have said this before but Mark Millar is a GOD! I have many fond memories of reading prior Authority graphic novels but I had heard they kind of fell off the wagon at some point. I thought this might be it but right from the beginning this book rocked! I couldn't put it down. The only complaint I have is that the punishment that some of the heroes received was so brutal physically and psychologically that it actually made me a bit uncomfortable.

What a rush! ( )

The money that runs the world builds a killing machine superhuman out of a hillbilly and a ridiculous amount of money. This guy has more superpowers than he can even name.

Anyway, the rich and powerful cabal that is unhappy that The Authority is more powerful than they are, now, sends him out to take them down, and puts into place a puppet Authority that they can control, including a male version of Jenny Sparks who is a Beckham sendup.

Highly entertaining.
