Jenny Sparks: The Secret History of the Authority #5

The five-issue miniseries wrapping up "The Secret History of the Authority" closes with a striking cover by John McCrea — a battered, disheveled Jenny Sparks faces off against a sleek, silver-skinned figure in a tense, almost ritualistic confrontation, mechanical tendrils scattered around them. The contrast between Jenny's roughed-up, very human appearance and her opponent's otherworldly metallic form sets a vivid mood for this 2001 WildStorm finale. Mark Millar and John McCrea bring their run to a close with the promise of revelations worthy of the title's bold subtitle.
