So what are you saying? the comics are good because they swear? I have recently read volume one of Authority and I'm reading volume two and I haveta say my favourite bits so far aren't when a character swears but when a character (Like Midnighter) says "Door"

I think Authority is pretty good. I haveta say I don't like the continual swearing or the continual references to Midnighter's and Apollo's homosexuality, not because of my own opinions but simply because it's obvious that the writers include these things in the storyline simply to make it look like they are pushing the barriers or showing off and that their controversy will sell.

In fact I prefer Authority for it's cool fight scenes, it's wide screen comic panel layout and it's decent plot lines, not because I can read a comic and say "Wow he/she just swore, how cool are they?"

Just because they Don't swear that doesn't mean it's a crap book, however it doesn't feel like the same read. They can tone the swearing down abit though, F this and F that does get old fast.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The only reason they are swearing the first place is because they know it's controversial and that sells, my only gripe is I don't want a book that's controversial, I want a book that's a good read. I find that Authority can be a good read without swearing or other controversial themes

Actually, as much as I'm all about keeping language toned down except when it's needed, I'll co-sign the swearing comments. Jenny Quantum isn't the same if she isn't dropping the f-bomb once every other page or so. Her dialogue in the Revolution arc was simply priceless.

The rest I can handle though.

Screw the new Authority book.

Relaunched book + Massive delays = Failure

Same goes for Wildcats.

THE AUTHORITY = WS = JIM LEE = Relaunched book and Massive delays.

I so want Revolution arc

Bah! We finally succeed in making Authority reasonably popular on the forums, then Wildstorm screws them over royally.

Once a month wouldn't kill them.

Is the Authority popular on this board?

Co-signed like a mother-****er. I don't mind delays really, but I agree it's poor show for a relaunch. Great book though.

I disagree with this. Nowadays, that's how a vast majority of people talk. It's only natural, not to mention it's a part of their character.

As a side note, I don't think Apollo and Midnighter's homosexuality is referenced any more than, say, Jack and Angie's relationship, or any more than it would be in the real world.

Indeed. That entire arc was priceless.

But both these subjects are still controversial subjects. Regardless of how many people hold one opinion or another it is still controversial and controversy sells. I'm not necessarily saying it shouldn't be in the comic because some people don't agree with it, I'm saying that it seems like the writers are using the controversy to make money when they could be using those pages to tell a good story like they do in most issues of the Authority.

I wasn't saying how I felt about the issues, just how the writers seem to exploit the issues

I still don't see your point. Yeah, these issues are controversial topics, but what is your suggestion?

Are you saying controversial topics shouldn't be included in comics, because it must the writers selling the story out for a buck? Or are you saying that stories with controversial topics can't make good stories?

These things are part of every day life. Just because they're controversial doesn't mean we shouldn't include them in comics.

He just doesn't like gays

All I'm saying is that whilst I enjoyed the issues of Authority that I have so far read (I'm still reading them) I felt that some of the more controversial topics weren't for the sake of the storyline but for sales purposes. I'm not saying that pg friendly or more politically correct topics that are controversial also aren't just for sales or otherwise it's just the impression I got from reading the issues I'm not definitely saying that they should or shouldn't be included in comics, it's just something that I hadn't really considered before

But yeah overall I'm enjoying the series. I have read up to halfway through the second volume and my favourite storyline so far has to be the one where the Authority fight the evil doctor bloke

I can see where you're coming from, but I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.

Fair enough

Who is that ken guy?
