If you enjoy clever plot twists, you shouldn't miss out on that epic tale by Ed Brubaker. Within 2 paperbacks (a 12 part maxi series) the writer destroyed and reassembled this team of do-gooders. The Authority works best, when things change. And they do in this story arc - big time. I should also mention the dynamic art by Dustin Nguyen, which gets proper treatment by Wildstorm FX colors.
