Summary

As the 21st century dawns, a battle-hardened Authority turns its attention to a previously unchallenged class of villains--the invisible power brokers who manipulate the world's political figureheads to advance their own selfish interests. The powers that be, however, didn't get where they are by playing nice. They've made plans for every contingency--including teams of insanely powerful superhumans with sentient, city-sized, interdimensional spaceships. So when the Authority begins to seriously upset their hard-won networks of control, the backlash that results is as swift as it is devastating.

But as bad as things get, these attacks are still comprehensible on a human scale. The same can't be said for what is following in their wake.

Taking over the groundbreaking title created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, renowned writer Mark Millar is joined by a host of comics' greatest artists--including Frank Quitely, Dustin Nguyen, Art Adams and others--for this second volume of Absolute Authority, collecting for the first time the uncensored, original pages of Authority #13-29, Authority Annual 2000 and stories from Wildstorm Summer Special! Also includes an all-new introduction by Tim Miller, director of Deadpool.

Author Biography

Warren Ellis is a comics and graphic novel writer best known for the graphic novel series TRANSMETROPOLITAN, THE AUTHORITY and PLANETARY. With over 35 graphic novels in print, Ellis has received numerous accolades, including the International Horror Guild award for graphic narrative and being named one of Entertainment Weekly's 100 Most Creative People. Rolling Stone described his work as "more influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain than by the Justice League, while his characters fight for left-wing agendas over God and country, and kick puppies in the street."
