Yes on all three. I had just hoped that the latter two were only because I didn't know what the fuck was going on or who any of the characters were. Sigh.
Not really. They seem to have hit the reset switch anyway. Apollo, the white-haired guy they're trying to recruit, was a long-standing member of Stormwatch and later the Authority in the WS books, and he and the Midnighter (the guy who shows up and whose FUCKING COSTUME ISN'T SUPPOSED TO LOOK THIS FUCKING RETARDED) were lovers and had a long history together, here it seems they don't even know each other. It probably helps if you know who Jenny Quantum is, but that's about it.
I don't want to inspire hope in you (life metal), but Grifter's new book comes out next week and Voodoo has one the week of the 28th. Each will have it's own writer/artist team distinct from Stormwatch, so who knows.
Yeah, I know. I saw all of that stuff in Previews, looked at the towering stack of unread comic books next to my couch and whispered, "no."
Will do! I actually have this, I've just never read it. Love Warren Ellis.
Dude, if you like Ellis, you have to read that thing. I find Ellis to be a bit hit or miss myself, especially some of the stuff he wrote for smaller publishers reads like he wrote it drunk in one night, then sold it and never cared about it again. But The Authority is the angry, inspired, driven Ellis constantly trying to come up with the next completely ridiculous and over the top image like thousands of cloned Asian superhumans falling from the sky and shit like that. Plus it's drawn by Bryan Hitch before he got boring and formulaic.
