The Authority - Les années Stormwatch #1

This French-language Urban Comics collection brings together Warren Ellis and Tom Raney's Stormwatch era in one compelling volume, tracing the roots of what would become The Authority. The cover charges forward with a full ensemble of armored and powered operatives — a curly-haired woman in silver battle-armor at the fore, flanked by a fiery energy-wielder in black, a powerfully built silver-suited man with white hair, and looming behind them a red-masked armored figure alongside a massive mechanical threat wreathed in smoke and flame. It's a striking snapshot of a team built for a world that doesn't pull its punches, and a great entry point for readers discovering this corner of the Wildstorm universe through Urban Comics' 2016 edition.
