Before the Authority make their big-screen debut, read the pivotal stories that paved the way to the ground-breaking team's comic book debut! The Authority is slated as a highly anticipated upcoming feature film from DC Studios, adapting the brutal super-team introduced by writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch to live-action for the first time. Readers curious about the formation of the Authority can trace their origin in Stormwatch: The Road to Authority Compendium, a comprehensive collection of the influential stories that set the stage! In 1996, Warren Ellis took over as writer of Stormwatch, a major part of Jim Lee s WildStorm Productions, alongside artist Tom Raney. Ellis reinvented the concept from more conventional superheroics to a take-no-prisoners strike team that quickly attracted attention throughout the industry, as readers questioned the way that superheroes are perceived. Ellis redefined the team and introduced new members, including the electric Jenny Sparks, the city-symbiote Jack Hawksmoor, powerhouse Apollo, and brutal Midnighter leading directly to the game-changing debut of The Authority! This volume collects Stormwatch (Vol. 1) #37-50, Stormwatch Preview #1, and Stormwatch (Vol. 2) #1-11.
Warren Ellis is a comics and graphic novel writer best known for the graphic novel series Transmetropolitan, Planetary, and The Authority. With over 35 graphic novels in print, Ellis has received numerous honors including the International Horror Guild Award for graphic narrative and being named one of Entertainment Weekly's 100 Most Creative People. Rolling Stone described his work as 'more influenced by Jesus and Mary Chain than by the Justice League, while his characters fight for left-wing agendas over God and country, and kick puppies in the street.'
