The Authority #13

The Authority assembles in force on this striking cover by Dwayne Turner and Sal Regla — a winged figure, a silver-haired powerhouse, a man in a sharp black suit, a metallic blue-skinned woman, a dark-cloaked figure, and a leaping hero in the background all gather with a quiet intensity that feels anything but casual. It's the fourth chapter of "Fractured World," written by Robbie Morrison, and the team's body language suggests the stakes are running high. Wildstorm's most formidable squad looks primed for whatever 2004 has thrown at them.
