Reading Athority is like watching a train crash.

[Kid Lantern]

(I was gonna put this in the comics should be good forum)

Words Cannot describe my love for athority. Never read stormwatch or the like so these beautiful characters just unfolding infront of me was my most awsome comicbook experiance....

I was sold on it the moment midnighter crashes through the tower being all "I love my Job" till the moment that jenny kills god, I mean I was like wow. Did this comic just have the balls to have them kill god?

Jenny died. I cried my eyes out.

And then somebody takes their eyes of the road for a moment and we begin to head for a cliff, by the time the new Doctor and Kev comes about were sailing over the cliff and heading for the craggy revine at its base.



Should it have ended with jenny?
I mean, god, what the hell is the deal with 'Kev'?

Where should it have gone?

eh, Kev was an Ennis creation, and the only reason that there was any Authority connection was so that the character could be given a bigger stage for his debut... an air of credibility, if you will...

honestly, I think that if DC would have left Wildstorm do what it wanted in Volume 2 and not censored the crap out of Millar and Morrison and actually let Azz and G-Moz do their planned runs on the book (and let Robbie actually tell the story with the artist that he wanted), we wouldn't be in the position where we were asking "should it have ended? does the concept still have validity?"... I think that Revolution was a step back towards gaining that legitimacy that it had lost during Vol. 2

I personally believe that it shouldn't have ended... I don't want it to ever end (until it reaches its ultimate logical conclusion)... I just don't want DC Editorial f*cking with the book anymore because they don't think that gay analogues of DCU characters should be allowed to kiss in a comic book... or because they think it's too violent or that the destruction might drum up feelings of terrorism or whatever... just produce the f*cking book and let the creators blow the doors off of a concept that everyone tries to imitate but can never duplicate

From what I gather, it wasn't DC who stopped Brian Azzarello. He decided that the story he had planned wouldn't have been appropriate in the wake of 9/11 so he pulled out.

I actually agree with you on this Hex...strange huh?

Though yeah as stated about Azz pulled his run and not DC...still doesn't make it a good decision.

There's a first for everything, Dave...

(and let Robbie actually tell the story with the artist that he wanted),
Who was that artist, btw?

[DaveEB]

Who was that artist, btw?

I believe it was...dammit, kind of a Brian Hitch clone but looser...got noticed on the Cla$$war comic and was picked up by Marvel...don't know what he's doing at Marvel right now...he's done a variant cover for Stormwatch: PHD...I just can't remember his name...

Trevor Hairsine?

[DaveEB]

Trevor Hairsine?
That's the one...

Yeah, Robbie Morisson wanted him to do the book over Dwayne Turner, but the idea was turned down by SOMEONE...supposedly because he was too much of a Hitch clone...but he would've done a hell of alot better on the book than Turner in my opinion.

Robbie posted this on the Wildstorm Message board some time ago.

[dancj]

Trevor Hairsine always seemed more of a Mike McMahon clone to me

[hex111]

Actually, DC claimed that the reason that they didn't want Trevor Hairsine on the book was because he was a "unknown" commodity in the states and they didn't believe that he would be able to draw in readers with his stlye... in fact, Trevor even started pencilling the first issue before DC made Morrison change the story and change artists... if you look online, I'm certain that you can find some images of the unused Hairsine pages from Authority Vol. 2 #1, I've seen them and they blow Dwayne Turner's stuff out of the water
