The Authority by Ed Brubaker & Dustin Nguyen

Ed Brubaker and Dustin Nguyen bring their acclaimed storytelling partnership to DC’s The Authority in a 2019–present series that reimagines the team’s high-concept, interventionist ethos. Across its single issue, the book explores the moral weight of wielding absolute power, with Nguyen’s moody, expressive art grounding Brubaker’s taut, character-driven script. A compact but potent entry from two of modern comics’ most respected creators, it offers a fresh, introspective take on the superteam that once defined late-90s superhero deconstruction.
