The Authority: Revolution #5

The tagline "All Good Things…" sets an ominous tone for this fifth chapter of The Authority: Revolution, as a tense gathering of figures — including a prominently featured woman in a sleek grey-and-gold costume — fills Dustin Nguyen's moody, flame-bathed cover. Silhouetted forms and a brooding man in civilian clothes crowd the composition, suggesting uneasy alliances and simmering conflict at the heart of this Wildstorm Universe maxi-series. Ed Brubaker's twelve-part story is in full swing here, and Nguyen's cover art alone makes it clear that the stakes for the Authority are anything but comfortable.
