The Authority Omnibus

DC · 984 pages · Omnibus

Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order

There exists a shadow cabinet of villains—the power brokers who manipulate the world's political figureheads to advance their own selfish interests. So when the Authority begins to seriously upset their hard-won networks of control, the backlash that results is as swift as it is devastating. This tough team must face an invasion from an alternate Earth, an international terrorist who is laying waste to major cities, and a hostile alien intelligence who calls himself God—and all fall under their rule. Whether it's terrorists or superhuman villains capable of destruction on an unthinkable scale, the team is ready to take on the foes the rest of the world isn't strong enough to fight. This is The Authority. Pay allegiance. Or get your head kicked in.
