And if superheroes were acting of their own sandstone, regardless of governments that rule the world. The authority arises as a group with great classic appearance powers but whose ambitions other than to be the defenders of the American people. Basically why not save the third world rather than putting a head super villains. The authors (including Millar excellent Ultimates) offers a scathing critique of the usual clichés super hero and society, in a violent world and psychologically unusual characters. After all, why not gay superheroes, depressed, drug addicts. If the first story is "enough" classic, the second scripted by Millar is a parody avengers. An American super-team is responsible for destroying the Authority, which ultimately are increasingly troublesome for the US government. Anyway, if you like the new generation comics to ultimates but more trash, one board go for it on this one.
