The Authority: The Lost Year Book 1 (Authority (Graphic Novels), 1)

Best-selling writers Grant Morrison and Keith Giffen co-plot this extraordinary series filling in the gaps to explain where The Authority was just before the “World’s End” event that relaunched the WildStorm Universe, how they escaped from a horrifying alternate reality, and at what cost. From Morrison’s first two issues revitalizing the team as WildStorm’s marquee heroes, Giffen took over chief writing duties with a story that saw the team’s interdimensional ship the Carrier power down and strand The Authority on an Earth in a reality they don’t recognize. Their powers barely work, and to add insult to injury, in this universe, they’re not only unknown to the population, they’re – horror of horrors – comic book characters. Will they make it back home? And if they do, will there be a home left to make it back to?
