The Authority #1 / Morrison & Ha

....

.........what did I just read?

Seriously, this book will probably turn out to kick crazy amounts of ass and be the first good run since Millar left, but...

..........what did I just read?

I can dig on what Grant is doing. He's taking a step back and re-evaluating the book, seperating this new run from the old widescreen, super action style we've come to expect of the book. Issue was still painfully slow, though!

Gene Ha!

I'll have to check this out.

I was going to go to the Mid-Ohio con this year, and wouldn't you know it something comes up, a few something's. To add to this Gene Ha will be there, his first appearance.

A lot of fans are ticked 'cause Gene's art is blurred in a lot of the panels/pages of this book. They were going for effect, but I think it would have been better untampered with.

I'll have to see it. I'd probably agree that his art shouldn't have been tampered with.

i liked the book...can't wait to the authority shows up which will probably be next issue...morrison's take on them ought to be interesting...the new wildcats wasn't that bad either...i like lee but i think he's on autopilot nowadays...the poses of his characters have that seen that in another of his books feeling to it...but i'll get the next issue to see where it's going...

I liked the story to this...the sort of science fiction-action movie slant, and the pacing was nice, reminded me of Morrison's Filth story telling...
but man, they shouldn't have tampered with the art...the blurring effect is a little too much...it's the first time I think I've gotten a headache from a comic book.

This issue seems to be all set up, but it still was a bit too slow for my taste. I can't wait until it really gets going. Gene Ha's art is so perfect for team books. It's a shame he's only on it for a few issues.

Jim Lee's still a great artist, but he should never be allowed to do costume designs ever again. Man, anybody read The Intimates.

Worst costume designs since, well, since the first WildC.A.T.S. series.

I actually enjoyed this issue way more than I thought I possibly ever should.
