For fans of Ellis’s first romp through Wildstrom in the form of StomWatch and the Authority, this is more and less of the same. More in that he gets to play with the whole box of toys, WILDCats, IO, etc. And less in that even at 24 issues it felt rushed and lacking in the depth that the first time around had. Things that were slowly revealed over arcs were dropped as info dumps in the middle of issues.
But, even with all of that being said, if you have a fondness for those old issues of StormWatch and the Authority, it does that wide angle action in a way that most booms don’t risk. The art is amazing, and though at first I questioned the choice of tossing out generations of comic book lettering history and using lower case and caps, but it worked.

Well that was intense. Everything kicks off, lots of explosions and then it's suddenly done. Not every thread is tied off and I'm not sure how well this series stands by itself, but it's an entertaining remix of the original books.
The art is solid and delivers the scale of action well.

Obligatory sour more about the writer's behaviour. At least it doesn't obviously leak into the text for this series.
