This New York Times bestselling story inspires the upcoming film THE AUTHORITY. The Authority are heroes in only the strictest sense of the word. Ruthless and unforgiving, this group of insanely powerful superhumans face down countless menaces to Earth, protecting mankind with their cold version of justice. 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 all fall under their rule. This is THE AUTHORITY. Pay allegiance. Or get your head kicked in. Created by legendary writer Warren Ellis ( THE WILD STORM , TRANSMETROPOLITAN ) and artists Bryan Hitch ( JUSTICE LEAGUE ), Paul Neary ( The Ultimates ) and Laura Martin ( WONDER WOMAN ), THE AUTHORITY is considered one of the most groundbreaking titles in modern comics history. Collects issues #1-12, PLANETARY/THE AUTHORITY: RULING THE WORLD and a new story from WILDSTORM: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS . Review: Best DC Comics I’ve Read in a While! - Even though there’s a tough chance that James Gunn will end up making The Authority film soon, it’s amazing to see why this was his “passion project”. But holy crap, this was absolutely enthralling and massive in scale. It’s ballsy, violent, space-traveling, weird, and wonderfully epic. I love this super-powered team of people with gray morals that are genuinely good in their hearts. I was sad about the ending, but man, these characters are masterful! Warren and Bryan crafted a masterpiece, man. Can’t wait to read Book Two! Review: Doesn't get any better than this! - One of the best graphic novels I've ever read. It was a pleasure reading something of such great quality! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,099,177 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,821 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels #2,511 in DC Comics & Graphic Novels #4,936 in Media Tie-In Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 335 Reviews | ## Images ![The Authority: Book One (New Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lSHjlhkvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best DC Comics I’ve Read in a While! *by E***T on July 28, 2025* Even though there’s a tough chance that James Gunn will end up making The Authority film soon, it’s amazing to see why this was his “passion project”.

Warren and Bryan crafted a masterpiece, man. Can’t wait to read Book Two! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doesn't get any better than this! *by J***N on February 10, 2025* One of the best graphic novels I've ever read. It was a pleasure reading something of such great quality! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interested in How Superheroes Have Changed Throughout History? This is a Must Then! *by D***N on June 5, 2024* Trigger warning on some abrasive topics told in 90s comics manners at times. This series is hailed as truly kicking off a new age of superhero! There is a lot in the set up and surrounding that really prove this claim! From their base to the team and how they function! The team build for the most part is really great!! The amount of women, and diverse women at that, on the team is inspired! Having queer heroes is so phenomenal too! There is notable underutilization with longtime Stormwatch team member Swift. Also Midnighter is notably missing a lot of what makes him amazing in later books. Given the amount of creativity flexed in Warren Ellis' Stormwatch, the repetitive nature of the threats posed in this book were disappointing. There is still some really creative concepts in the threats themselves though. Overall fantastic cast of characters, where mostly everyone shines in how unique and fun to follow they are! Seems like a must for people interested in the superhero genre! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/514266182-the-authority-book-one-new-edition](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/514266182-the-authority-book-one-new-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
