Dry British Humour

I was drawn to this book because I am a great fan of carlos Ezquerra's earlier 2000AD work. I was very pleasantly suprised to find a good story, excellent art and some truly laugh out loud funny bits. This book permiates a kind of dry sarcastic humor that is so prevelant in the UK. "A man Called Kev" ties up the story from "The Authority KEV" and it is more of an urban war story than the superhero stuff in the earlier book. The art is very much in the style of 2000AD instead of some of the glossy "SPAWN" type detailed stuff but it fits the story perfectly.
Be warned that its is not a "politically correct" book and may offend various groups. It is the most enjoyable book I have read in a long while.

Kev Done Right

Although I was not that fond of the earlier Kev stories, as a completist I had to check this one out. I am actually glad I did. Without trying to be goofy with The Authority characters, Garth Ennis was able to treat Kev the way he should be.



Some of Kev's past comes back to haunt him and his buddies. An people die and Kev is on the run, Kev has to find sanctuary and figure out just what is going on and who is after him. Eventually Kev figures it out and begins to make plans as only a man of his talents can.



This story brings the tale of Kev to a satisfying conclusion and ties up a lot of loose ends. Although still as foul-mouthed as in earlier books Kev's crudity has been played down in this story as has his utter distaste for gay males. This is a hard-nosed adventure tale that avoids the goofiness of the earlier stories. I was happy to see Garth got it right this time. Check it out.

Garth Ennis, creator of PREACHER, writes this fast-paced, uproarious story that spins out of the hit WildStorm series THE AUTHORITY.

The world is a lonely place when you're a man without a home -- just ask down-on-his-luck Special Air Service Corporal Kev Hawkins. After murdering his boss in a nasty government scheme, he's been banished from the United Kingdom under pain of death. What does the world hold for a man with little life experience or job training beyond wetworks and assassination? Then again, with a past about to catch up with Kev in the most violent and terrifying way possible, what the world holds for him may soon be beside the point.
