Summary

Warren Ellis' New York Times bestseller The Authority is considered one of the most groundbreaking titles in modern comics history. Now collected in it's entirety for the first time in omnibus format!

The Authority are heroes in only the strictest sense of the word. Ruthless and unforgiving, this group of insanely powerful superhumans face down countless menaces to Earth, protecting mankind with their cold version of justice. The team includes:

Jenny Sparks, the team's perpetually young leader.

Midnighter, an unstoppable fighter capable of taking down the toughest opponents.

Apollo, the nearly invulnerable Sun King with astounding control of solar energy.

The Doctor, a man capable of warping reality itself.

The Engineer, a brilliant scientist with complete command of nanotechnology.

Jack Hawksmoor, God of the Cities, who draws his powers from urban surroundings.

Swift, the winged superhuman known as the fastest flyer on the planet.

This tough team must face an invasion from an alternate Earth, an international terrorist who is laying waste to major cities and a hostile alien intelligence who calls himself God--and all fall under their rule. Whether it's terrorists or superhuman villains capable of destruction on an unthinkable scale, the team is ready to take on the foes the rest of the world isn't strong enough to fight.

This is The Authority. Pay allegiance. Or get your head kicked in.

This groundbreaking title is collected here in one comprehensive omnibus. Series creators Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) and artist Bryan Hitch (Justice League of America) are joined by a host of comics' greatest talents, including writers Mark Millar (Swamp Thing) and Tom Peyer (Legion of Super-Heroes) and artists Paul Neary (The Ultimates), Frank Quitely (Batman and Robin), and Dustin Nguyen (Detective Comics).
