Best selling writers Grant Morrison and Keith Giffen co-plot this extraordinary series filling in the gaps to explain where The Authority was just before the World's End event that relaunched the WildStorm Universe, how they escaped from a horrifying alternate reality, and at what cost.The Authority is stranded on an Earth in a reality they don't recognize. Their powers barely work, and to add insult to injury, in this universe, they're not only unknown to the population, they're - horror of horrors - comic book characters. Will they make it back home? And if they do, will there be a home left to make it back to?
