Apr 15, 2021The Authority were such an influence in the early 2000s that it spawned a lot of imitators. Its influence spread to the point that in Action Comics #775 Superman would battle a team called The Elite. A parody of the Authority. The point of that story was to address the question of whether Superman as a character was still relevant in a post Authority comic book world. That Superman story would later be adapted into an animated movie called Superman vs the Elite. Read Full Review

Aug 06, 2008Actually, the backup story manages to outclass the main story all around. As much as I like Abnett and Lanning's take on the characters, it's hard to get a sense of where this series is headed. Christos Gage's backup tale is tightly scripted and focused, and more representative of what I want from this universe. Abnett and Lanning succeed just well enough that I want to know what they have in store for the characters. I hope they can bring The Authority back to life again. Read Full Review
