buggery | the Authority vol. 2 BLITZ continues!

The must-read February "Coup d'Etat" crossover event is over, but the solicitations for May have revealed that there's a 4-issue Authority miniseries starting that month, separate from the regular title this time -- Authority: More Kev.

This is a sequel of sorts to the hilarious (but far underrun -- it's the only Authority book I don't have a lending copy of, and it took me weeks and cost me more than I would've liked to get my hands on the copy I have) one-shot standalone Authority: Kev released back in 2002, during those long dark months between the end of the first series (issues #1-29) and the "vol. 2" relaunch.

Wildstorm has made a 4-page preview of the miniseries, in addition to the first cover, available in preview form (meaning, since the preview can be accessed by anyone and the actual comics are "for mature readers," the bad words have been blacked out of the speech bubbles just for the preview) on its website.

The Cover

Wildstorm put the interior pages up in .pdf format, which can be accessed here. If you'd just as soon not be hassled, and/or don't care that I had to trim down the edges a little tp get the images to fit on photobucket without losing speech-balloon legibility, here are the individual images:

1. Kev and his mates in the pub

2. Kev gets called into the headm-- er, his boss's office

3. Kev nearly shits himself at the sight of his boss's Big Gay Guests -- guess who?

4. looks like another of the covers, or possibly a splash image from the end of part 1 or the beginning of part 2

::looking again at the main cover:: Man. All superheroes ought to fill out their spandex that well. By law.
