Jenny Sparks is probably the best heroine you’ve never heard of. She’s the embodiment of the spirit of the 20th century. That makes her ultra-powerful and the perfect person to lead a world-wide team of super-humans called The Authority. Complete with analogues of Superman Batman Dr. Strange Iron Man and more Ellis’ unique take on the cape and tights comic set a new bar for what readers could expect from their books. Influential on dozens of today’s current titles The Authority really did pave the way for a new era of heroes.
