Comic of the Week 5

This week I was at a bit of a loss over what to choose for this post. My comics for last Wednesday still haven't been delivered so i have gone through ever comic issue and graphis novel I have, which is a fair amount, to choose one. So, this week's comic of the week is The Authority, Vol 1 #29:
The fact that this the second comic of the week to feature an issue of The Authority, third if you count Stormwatch witht the similar characters and themes, definately shows how much I do love this series, escpecially this first volume, which is when I feel it was at its best. I choose this issue because I'm in the mood where I want something soppy and romantic and the wedding of Apollo and Midnighter at the end fits in that category. Being one of my favourite couples, any interaction between the two of them makes a comic good for me so the wedding and Apollo going after Seth, the villain, for vengence over practically killing Midnighter made this issue stand out as I was going through the lot. I also enjoyed Jenny Q coming into her powers properly in this issue, using them to defeat Seth and finally showing The Authority and us what she can do. I prefer her in her toddler stage before she got older and, in my opinion, not as enjoyable to read, probably due to the change in wirter cause it's not the age thing that bothers me but how she changed as she suddenly jumped to an older age. I also tend to prefer issues thta finish story arcs to others if there are no specific stand out elements becuase it ties together all the story lines, themes and ideas and leaves you feel more satisfied when you're finished.
