Thought I should post this.

Though it's been said to be on the Wildstorm table...somewhere by Jim Lee and others at DC, Authority artist Gene Ha said in his recent e-mailer, that he doesn't think his and Grant Morrison's collaboration on Wildstorm's premiere super team will continue - ever.

F*ck them...
Validus, I liked your sig with Dante you have once much more. Why Nero?

Dante is still very much "the man". Both styles of gameplay (Dante and Nero) will likely be off the tizzy.
I don't like Nero too much, the whole fuss around him and the rumor that he replaces Dante as the main protagonist of the series irritates me much.
Damn Grant Morrison...the Authority series went comatose due to him, so the Authority fans are discussing Dante🙂

Cock.
😐
They better find a new writer. Why the hell does it need to be those 2?
Guys. Good news.
The Authority has a series again!
It's called Authority Prime. And unlike the failed first 2 issues of Worldstorm (which Wildstorm seems to have scrapped altogether) it actually has the Authority doing stuff, and promises a showdown with the remnants of Stormwatch in issue #2.
Best. Comic. Day. In a while.

So happy. 😍
Also just bought Midnighter: Armageddon. It seems like maybe they remade the now-defunct WorldStorm idea into Armageddon (with an obvious tie-in to the Cpt. Atom arc with the same subtitle), because Void was once again involved (though only briefly).
But it's linked to the whole Wildstorm universe a lot more closely than MN'ers solo series (which I actually grew bored with), and a bunch of other people/teams will be involved, so between the Authority relaunch and this, I couldn't be more pleased.
...
....makes me wonder if issues #1-2 of the now-dead Authority series are non-canon now.

Is it any good?

Sure, but it didn't send warnings signals off in my head either. I think you're overstating it...and anyone who's also a fan of the old Stormwatch stuff is thrilled with the initial plotline.
I suppose after CA: Armageddon (our most recent arc), anything seems like good Authority writing. But they've had some low-ish spots in their history throughout the first couple volumes of stuff along with the good (Vol. 1 when Quitely took over artwork was kinda bad), and I see no reason to think this isn't a pretty decent renewal for them. Not everything can be as brilliant as Warren Ellis or as tightly plotted as the Revolution arc.
But again, one opinion.
I liked Authority: Prime... Gage is always good in my book, and I'm pretty excited for a "lost treasure/horror of Henry Bendix" story, especially because it features both the Authority and some of my favorite members of Stormwartch (YES! JACKSON KING IN BATTLESUIT! AWESOME!)
Midnighter Armaggedon was decent, and I'll definitely keep reading it. Not an immediate perfect hook, but pretty good.
Again, I'm sure an Authority fan knows this- I've read every issue of the Authority more than once, but during Coup D'etat, the storyline ran into the other Worldstorm titles- I've read the Sleeper one, where Tao deliberately guides the world governments into recovering and experimenting with a piece of Bleed technology that ends up being a bomb- but are the other titles that lead into Coup D'etat collected? I imagine there's a Gen13 one... and I guess a Wildcats one? What am I missing? are they collected in a TPB? I've never seen one, but I'm sure they're somehow collected.
