	Stormwatch (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It began in the comic book Stormwatch v1, published by Image Comics but owned by Jim Lee.
		The Authority was made up of members that had survived the massacre of the Stormwatch team by xenomorphs, the creatures from Alien.

		Apollo suffers the most because not only is his face different, but he is given a different haircut.
		It all is a trick, of course, to turn her against Apollo, but it is clever for the writers to play on the popular Galactica myth that the crashed ship is the Pegasus and that Apollo prevented Sheba from looking inside because he found Cain's body.
		Apollo's mother, Ila, also survives, and she decided to come aboard the present Galactica instead of the past Galactica for some odd reason.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Comics
		Comic strips rapidly became a defining feature of modern American culture after their introduction to newspapers across the nation in the first ten years of the twentieth century.
		Comic supplements were circulation builders for newspapers, and by 1908 some 75 percent of newspapers with Sunday editions had a comics supplement.
		The daily comic strip's four or five panels and fl-and-white format as opposed to the Sunday comics' twelve color panels was the first of many thematic and aesthetic innovations that fed the popularity of strips.

	World Famous Comics: Apollo: The Epic Journey to the Moon
		The astronauts, scientists, and mission control operators who took part in the fifteen manned Apollo missions not only accomplished this memorable triumph of courage and technical ingenuity, they stirred the world's imagination and redefined the notion of what is truly possible.
		The Apollo astronauts, the Gemini astronauts, and the Mercury astronauts were men that we all knew by name.
		If we wanted to recreate Apollo the absurd situation is that we would have to do research and development all over again because the records were not properly archived.

	Sequential Tart: All Access (vol VIII/iss 2/February 2005)
		The Apollo of 2050 asks The Midnighter of 2005 to return to the past and break up the team, to make sure that this dark future never comes to pass — even though Apollo himself will no longer exist.
		More important, Apollo knows that until The Midnighter suffered those severe injuries, their marriage was strong and real and true, and that the spouse he remembers from those early days was — and is — worthy of absolute trust.
		My choice for a comic that shows strong family bonds and love, is, oddly enough, a picture of a dysfunctional family, but one that eventually healed.

	Review: Jack Dee, Hammersmith Apollo
		There are some comics, you would have thought, who would be virtually immune from heckling.
		It would be a brave soul who tackled one of the most experienced live acts around, with a well-deserved reputation for withering dismissals of all of life’s irritations.
		In honesty, much of his snidey material and cynical observations are no different from what you could hear in any comedy club, at a fraction of the £25 price – from the obligatory Michael Jackson routine, to the election, to the primates who staff BandQ.

	The Authority - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Two decades on from the debut of Superman, DC Comics presented their premier group of super-heroes, the Justice League of America, in Brave and Bold #28 in a battle royale with the Star Conqueror, a gigantic starfish from outer space.
		In the ensuing battle, Singapore is almost destroyed, Apollo is apparently raped and the Americans kidnap Jenny Quantum.
		Apollo and the Midnighter have their own special brand revenge over "The Americans" as they are rather ultra-violently dispatched with the piece de resistance being saved for its leader (and Apollo's ravager), a fate which leaves little to the imagination.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Dc Comics
		As the leading publisher during the first three decades of the comic book industry, DC Comics was largely responsible for the look and content of mainstream American comic books.
		By the end of the twentieth century, DC had become not only the longest established purveyor of comic books in the United States, but arguably the most important and influential in the history of comic book publishing.
		The strategy worked to deflect from DC much of the public criticism being directed at comic books in general, but it also deprived their publications of the edgy qualities that had made the early Superman and Batman stories so compelling.

		So, for now, the Oracle isn't the project I'm currently actively working on, but every project in the Oracle I plan on finishing (from the Avatars to Dementia Comics to the RIC and the Oracle itself).
		At the behest of Apollo, two large sea serpents Porces and Chariboea crushed and slaughtered him and his two sons.

	Zilla and the Comics Junkies
		After a 15-year hiatus from my childhood comic book addiction, I've fallen off the wagon and relapsed into more of a junkie than ever (certainly have more bones, beans, clams, and coin to feed it than i did back then).
		I definitely think comics are more accessible today than they have ever been (with the variety of work available for all ages and tastes), but i'm still not sure that the stigma surrounding comics readers has changed much since i was a kid.
		Comics do become a great form of entertainment for those 15 minutes of freedom I have when I come home from work and have put the kids to bed.

		Unfortunately, the comics biz is stuck in the past which is why that business is quickly dying.

	/issue/i07-03/a-8-ReadOut - OutSmart - This Issue
		According to Wizard magazine, DC Comics and the book’s creative team at the time (Brian Azarello and Steve Dillon) felt a “brand of super-violent superheroes was inappropriate” in the wake of 9-11 (the fact that The Authority was going to fight Jesus Christ in the next planned story arc didn’t help).
		Apollo and The Midnighter are the only gay married couple/superheroes in mainstream comics.
		There have been gay characters in comics before, but Apollo and the Midnighter are definitely the most high-profile couple to have appeared, and their relationship is crucial to the series in general.

		Now I'm not saying that every comic needs to have a Gay character but a few more then what's on offer would be nice, and not to have them relegated to Gay limbo the minute a writer cant deal with a Gay character.....

	IGN: Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience Review
		What makes it natural is that the film is rousing and spectacular, a compelling adventure story and a meticulously-mounted history lesson – the kind of entertainment that's good and good for you.
		The surprise in the choice is that it is, in so many ways, a pretty intimate story – mostly set in interiors with a lot of close-ups.
		Of course it helps that the movie is so great to begin with, and if it's been awhile since you checked it out (as it had for me), I can't think of a more pleasurable way than in IMAX.

	The Authority #5 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		On one panel the monster o’ the month picks up a commuter train and menaces Apollo with it while in the next panel the train is over Apollo’s head.
		The main character’s outfits change throughout the course of the story (especially Hawksmoor’s t-shirt) and their faces look to be made out of Silly Putty.
		I think that the maturing of Jenny Quantum has been handled well as kids start to ask tough questions when they get to be her age, but aside from that I don’t have much positive to say about Morrison’s writing in this issue or even up to this point.
