This. This. What is this? What kind of person wants to read stories about heroes [and I use that term loosely here] who behave like the depictions of the Avengers found in this comic? I get that it is supposed to be new takes on the characters and all, but really? Nobody is good, and nobody is ...
More like FUCK YEAH! [I should preface this review by noting that the story lines of a few of these characters actually begin inStormWatch (Force of Nature: StormWatch Vol. 1). I recommend starting to read there, but The Authority can be read and enjoyed on its own.] We start the story with Jenn...
