The Authority Omnibus by Warren Ellis

This omnibus collects a widescreen, hard-edged superhero saga about a ruthless, morally ambiguous team that acts as a global strike force, using overwhelming force and covert intervention to stop threats to humanity. Led by the caustic Spirit of the Century and populated by distinctive operatives—city-bound Jack Hawksmoor, the solar-powered Apollo, the brutal tactician Midnighter, the winged Swift and the nanotech Engineer—the group operates from a flying carrier and confronts dictators, corporate malfeasance and apocalyptic-scale dangers. The stories blend high-octane action, speculative science fiction and political provocation, forcing readers to wrestle with whether extraordinary power can ever be wielded ethically.
