The Sicilian (Blue aliens bastards)
The second arc story of this amazing volume (issues # 5 to 8) begins to show that Authority, without a doubt, is all about Jenny Sparks: she's the leader, she's the toughest cookie, she's almost a 100 years old and she can fry anyone, but most important at all, she has a bad temper, so don't mess with her. Being the most important character in this group doesn't mean that Ellis haven't paid enough atention to develop the group's characterists, quite the contrary, there's a great balance ruling this group: Jenny's sarcasm and authoritarism is balanced by Midnighter's gritty, Apollo's fury, Engineer's softness and charisma, Hawksmoor britishness and Doctor's enigma and strangeness, so it's a very interesting collection of behaviors and way of thinking. The plot of this second arc story is way more interesting than the first one, involving an invasion from a parallel Earth, a theme that Ellis is constantly using in his writing, so is something that he mastered greatly. The action and dialogues mash up perfectly with the character's displays and what we hope for a super hero group comic book. Ellis and Hitch are a perfect creative team and they delivered amazing and fantastic 4 issues here! Highly recommended!
