You'll need the comic book viewer linked below to read it.) <br /><a href="http://www.torrentportal.com/details/573381/The+Authority+%5BComplete+Series%5D+%28comic+books%29.torrent.html">http://www.torrentportal.com/details/573381/The+Authority+%5BComplete+Series%5D+%28comic+books%29.torrent.html</a><br /><br />I currently own 4 of the collected trade paperbacks and am in the process of hunting down the rest at local comic stores, so if you like the book, please purchase it as well. :D<br /><br />Download the ComicReader here: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay">http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:trinityhelix:188389 2006-08-04T11:17:36Z 2006-08-04T11:17:36Z It's been a while since I started getting back into the world of American comics, and boy, I couldn't have picked a better time. I've been unearthing quite a lot of great series lately, and I've taken it upon myself to share the love. <br /><br />And of course, what better thing to share than 'The Authority'-- home of the Midnighter and Apollo, my two favourite gay superheroes.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/trinitycross/authority2.jpg"><br /><br />The writing on the Authority is excellent. The dialogue is witty, the storylines are tight, and I love how I'm getting a gay couple in a series that is /not/ all about the gay. Make no mistake, this is a superhero comic-- it's got fights, drama, angst, the works. But the characters all have bad days, flaws, and intrinsic value that make them seem real.<br /><br />There are heterosexual couples/interactions as well as the homosexual ones, and I love how in-your-face everything is (during 'the Kev' spin-offs, in any case). And I remember comics that used to have the heroes yelling "to blazes with you!"-- thank God they've gotten rid of that habit, lol. Now we've got dialogue that has the darker characters actually /talking/ like darker characters, instead of that freaked-out Comics-Code censor-speak. XD<br /><br />They really don't make comics like they used to... they make them so much better. ^___^<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/trinitycross/authority.jpg"><br /><br />and for scenes like this:<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/trinitycross/authority1.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br />Convinced?
