The Authority Omnibus #[nn]
In "The Circle, One of Four," Warren Ellis and Phil Jimenez deliver a tense, high-stakes crossover where Planetary's mission to breach the Authority's HQ collides with the Authority's investigation of the Adirondack caves and Doc Brass' multiverse computer. When a rogue technician activates the device, Earth faces an onslaught of marauding robots, forcing the two groups into an uneasy alliance—though neither knows the other’s true purpose. Bryan Hitch’s striking cover art captures the moment’s intensity, while the interior work by Jimenez, inks by Lanning, and colors by Martin elevate the story’s urgency and scale.
