Hello. Just slinking over from LJ to check the comm is here as well :) I didn't get this yet but there's a synopsis here.
Sounds very rushed (and the character 'reveal' is a WTF for me since I have no idea who that is. Also, disappointed that Gaia is in this book, with Midnighter and Apollo, without any reference to their huge debt to her from DnA's run). Under the circumstances, though, I can't blame the writer for the pacing. He came onto the WS boards the other day and was very honest, said basically he was all enthusiastic and had plotted a huge big story up to about issue #50 and wasn't told until after he'd finished #28 that the book was being canned along with everything else. So he did his best to tie up the biggest loose ends in the last couple of issues. Whatever my criticisms may be of his storylines, I admire his frankness, and his frustration seems really clear.
I was re-reading some old Authority and Midnighter stuff today. This did not improve my mood about the current state of affairs :(
