Review of 'The Authority' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Bryan Hitch's art steals the show despite all the nude cyborgs. There's something very End of History about this series, a bunch of superpowered spooks hijack a sentient multiverse hopping trade ship and use it to checks notes implement regime change in not-Taiwan, then on alternative earth by obliterating Italy, then killing "god" before they change the climate into one unfit for human habitation. None of this has aged well. Which is a shame as the sheer scale at play and the team dynamics and wit are fun. A product of its time that probably is best left... They've rebooted it, haven't they.
