A Wildstorm Get Together
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Take Sleeper, The Authority, Stromwatch Team Achilles, and WILDCats, blend them togther and you get this interesting little tale. Florida is almost completely laid to waste when an accident in the Bleed destroys a massive ship of very powerful and big aliens. The Authority determines that the US Government was responsible for the accident. Because of the government's cavalier actions the Authority moves in and takes over the United States. While the thrust of the story is simple, the plots and sub plots make it a rich and complex story. Comics fans will notice the Kirby tribute as the Authority must deal with the vengeful aliens while trying to take over a country. But through it all the characters are all true to their respective books as the whole Wildstorm universe is affected. I had not read Sleeper so I did not get all of the references when I first read this book but I don't think it hurt my first reading. One should obviously be familiar with The Authority as it really is their story even if a lot of titles are involved. As this book takes place in the middle of Authority: Fractured Worlds, it is a necessary part of any Authority library.

This story is a collection of a crossover of a few different Wildstorm comics with emphasis on The Authority, the Wildstorm's version of the JLA or X-men, except they're more aggressive and less apologetic than the super friends. So the theme of the story is what happens when humanity taps into forces beyond their own control? The Authority steps in and decides to take control of the United States of America. Oh yeah, hence the title Coup D'Etat. It's probably one of the most amazing stories I've read in a long time and it deserves some credit for the groundbreaking themes represented in this graphic novels. If you tip toe around the possibility of getting this book, get it because it's not just a story about superheroes, it really makes you think and that said, I highly recommend this book.
