Since the Authority has now reached a point where I don't need to explain the whole Chechnya business, it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

No, it's actually pretty good... considering the origin.

Except the last part. Could have done without that.

One thing that bothers me about this and the Authority is how the bad guys are made out to be super evil baby eaters.

Crap art is crap. Story really isn't that much better, but is entertaining in a pulpy popcorn way. Groovy and all that.

Didn't the guy making these comics quit doing so when after bragging for ages about being ex-military he was found out to be just another geek?

Here we see Trash being a full blown dumbass again. :roll:

From composition in every fucking frame, to linework, to detail, to values, hues and color, to rendering style, to fucking everything, except maybe the ridiculous style for humans, this comic is fucking good. I didnt read anything cause reading comics is borderline moronic assburger behavior but scrolling past I cant see any crap art. Grow a brain cell.

I agree with BBC (ugh).

Even if the anatomy is kinda schlock, the faces have clear lines and demarcated expressions - it's a different style but very expressive - even if the expressions are sometimes derp, like when one of them is threatening the superguy with a fake self-destruct.
Shading is very good.

TBH it reminds me uncomfortably of the marvel run of Cable/X-men that was full retard with the lines, so the art has bad associations to me too.

Scrolling past your posts, because reading them is borderline moronic assburger behaviour but scrolling past I can see you try way too hard. As usual, aspie. Anyway, shit anatomy, shit coloring, shit faces and shit everything.

Yea, that's him. But it wasn't anything related to comics, but rather the introductions to his books of photoshopped propaganda posters in protest to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. When the scandal DC/Wildstorm kicked him out, cancelled the third collected volume of Team Achilles from going to print and cancelled Team Achilles for good as "punishment" (it was a damn shame, since TA was right in the middle of something and was generally an awesome series).

Though Micah Wright's career didn't end, since nowadays he's a bigwig at the Writers Guild of America.

Anyway, of course it's a popcorn thing, but that's doesn't mean it's a bad comic. It's very good at what it does. Certainly better than, say, The Boys.

I don't think the sword emblem (assuming you haven't spotted something I haven't) is the Order of Santiago symbol, the sword doesn't have enough pimped out curves for that.

Yeah. The artwork for that huge fight with the Doctor was amazing, but this shit sucks. It's technically impressive, but aesthetically repugnant.

There's more, including a story where Jukko and Midnighter sit down in a bar and Jukko tells why he hates SPBs so much.

There isn't really much chronology to be concerned about until Coup De'tat event, which is coming soonish with the Authority.
