The Authority #10

The Authority's WildStorm era rolls on with issue #10, "Fractured World Episode One," written by Robbie Morrison with cover art by Dwayne Turner and Sal Regla. The cover plunges several members of the team into a chaotic, rubble-strewn vortex of destruction — a white-clad figure braces against the chaos in the foreground, while a dark-costumed armored figure and a winged character struggle nearby, and a small purple-hued figure is visible amid the swirling carnage in the background. It's a striking, kinetic image that signals a story arc with serious stakes, and mature-readers Wildstorm delivering this kind of visceral energy in 2004 was always something to look forward to.
