Back to the Authority...I understand that Apollo and Midnighter are superman/batman clones, and the wingy, tibetan chick is hawkman/girl or something. But who are the other members supposed to represent I haven't read this stuff in ages.



Huh. Other than the whole Midnighter/Apollo-Bats/Supes angle - which is too obvious to miss - I never thought that the others were supposed to parallel JLA characters. I s'pose Jenny is WW taken to the next level with her 'tude about men and all, but methinks that even that is pushing it.



I keep hearing the argument that DC hates the authority because it makes their real universe characters look bad...



I hadn't heard that, though it doesn't surprise me.

I never thought any of them were direct clones except those 3. anyway thanks that's what I thought...I really liked the stormwatch stuff just as well it makes more sense as you see the build up to the Authority in logical steps.



Never read the Stormwatch stuff. That good? Is it in trade by any chance? And I haven't read Authority (or Planetery for that matter) since it originally came out. I remember really enjoying it, but then not picking up "volume 2" (as it were) when Quitely pencilled. I actually want to re-read it again after reading this thread...


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
