\n[<\/strong>\u00a0\"Eating Currently:<\/strong> Eating my lunch\u00a0]<\/strong>
\nRecently I have been reading the collected editions of the spin-off series from The Authority about the adventures of Kevin Hawkins. I have not read any of the other comics concerning The Authority and came to these mainly due to the fact that they were all written by Garth Ennis. I loved his work on his run on Hellblazer and Preacher but have not picked up much that he has wrote since.<\/p>\n

I have to say that I loved these books. They are filled with sex, graphic violence and extreme bad language but all used with the humour that was prevalent in the likes of Preacher. I am sure that these are nothing like the main Authority books which appears to be a more mainstream story about a team of superheroes but they hold up in their own right and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on much by not having read any of the others – but I could be wrong ignorance is bliss after all.<\/p>\n

I have now ordered the collected edition of the Midnighter that he also wrote and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival – though I don’t know what to expect from it. Is it a more traditional superhero tale or a more sarcastic\/ironic look at the genre – such as was evident in some of the Kev stories? Either way I am hoping for great things. Also does anyone know if Kev appears in the Authority books themselves or is he restricted to his own mini-series?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
