I first discovered The Authority as a spin-off from Stormwatch – it was created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, and honestly, it felt like a really cool, updated take on the Justice League. Those first 12 issues were incredible! But then, in 2000, Ellis and Hitch moved on, and Mark Millar took over. His run on the book was a total game-changer – it’s what really launched his career and made him one of the most talked-about – and sometimes controversial – writers of the decade. Seriously, everything that made Millar famous really started with his work on The Authority.
