IT IS UTTERLY BIZARRE THAT YOU ARE POSTING THIS NOW. Because *last night* I downloaded the Authority (through 20-ish) and have burned through most of it already. The characters are pretty freaking awesome, very individualized and less archetypes than regular DC (there have been so many incarnations of most of the regular DC principles over the years).
Plus they deal with male-male rape (in Authority 14), which never happens except holy shit they went there. And while they don't make a huge issue of it (they are in the middle of huge scale military operations, after all), it gets dealt with in a very satisfying manner by the end of issue 15.
Apollo/Midnighter is basically an incarnation of Superman/Batman, y/y?!?!?? God, it pleases me. GO READ IT EVERYBODY. THEN WE CAN START A COMM.
