The Authority (1999-2002) #12

Everything the team of Ellis, Hitch and Neary has been building towards comes to a shattering conclusion in the apocalyptic final chapter of ''Outer Dark.'' At last the Authority comes face to face with the true owners of the Earth. Now seven heroes must defend six billion people against something older than this universe, and the battle's staggeringly destructive conclusion is something readers will be talking about well into the next century!
