The Authority have survived the destruction of Earth - but only just barely! Do they have a hope of rebuilding their "finer world" or is that the memory of a dead age?
Plus, Christos Gage & Trevor Hairsine continue the story of John Lynch, in a backup story exploring how he escaped Armageddon!
The Authority were such an influence in the early 2000s that it spawned a lot of imitators. Its influence spread to the point that in Action Comics #775 Superman would battle a team called The Elite. A parody of the Authority. The point of that story was to address the question of whether Superman as a character was still relevant in a post Authority comic book world.
