Solicitation:
They've murdered, they've lied, they've tortured and stolen. Now the new Authority shows its ugly side. But this diabolical, dysfunctional super-team may be running out of time, as one of our heroes finally returns for some bloody payback. And when things start going terribly wrong, whom do the new Authority call for backup? That's right: the homicidal hayseed Seth, who's got some unfinished business of his own!
SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!
Synopsis:
The Midnighter returns to the Carrier and exacts a very bloody revenge on the G7 Authority. In the control room of the Carrier, Rush and the Colonel immediately has a argument and are close to fighting each other until the Surgeon informs them that Street has been killed, by having been run over by a motorcycle driven by Midnighter. In the Carrier's gym, Teuton is beating Apollo and admitting that he is jealous in not having the way that Apollo and Midnighter have a relationship and suggest of having a sexual orientation with Apollo. However, as he said this Teuton is kill from behind by Midnighter. After dumping Street's body off the Carrier, the remaining G-7 Authority gather and are reluctant in facing Midnighter as they bicker. However, Seth Cowie travels into their midst through a self-made portal and menacingly assure them that he will fight Midnighter, but only he himself will kill him. Late Call and Machine then search for Teuton in the gym. Last Call finds Apollo and mocking ask him to light his cigarette, in which Apollo burst his head into flames right in front of Machine's eyes. The other G-7 Authority suddenly hears a radiotelepathic scream, and Rush and the Surgeon are kill after the lights went out. Surprised, the Colonel prepares to fight Midnighter and is immediately kick by him and instantly kill as Midnighter stomps his foot on the Colonel's neck. After killing the Colonel, Seth greets Midnighter from behind.
In New York City, the members of the G-7 nations talk about Seth Cowie and concern of ridding him and mentioning about a "off button" place on him. Unbeknown to them, Swift, having been free of her brainwashing, is overhearing every word of it.
Back on the Carrier, Apollo has kill Machine by melting her entire face, and sees a badly wounded Midnighter with his heart ripped out and rushes to his side. Apollo then sees Seth along with a upset Jenny Quantum.

Notes:
- This issue was ghost-written by Grant Morrison as a favor to writer Mark Millar, who was suffering from health issues at the time. In a Dynamic Forces interview with Rich Johnston, Morrison explains:
"Authority 28 caused some problems for me personally because I wrote the story as a favor and then, surprisingly, wasn’t paid or acknowledged for it until I called Wildstorm and the situation was quickly resolved. I wanted the issue to go out under some whimsical credit like ‘The Mock Millar Experience’ but otherwise I had no intention of putting my name on it. It was a gag. This is the story of watch gears turning and bureaucratic springs unwinding - hardly the fuel for so much rumour among so few. The best bit no-one saw was the first page - another victim of the censor’s scythe. My original had a splash page with Jesus Christ, Allah, and Buddha all standing in front of a bullet-pocked wall. Each wears a blindfold and sweats nervously, *** in the lips. A big balloon from off panel reads…’FIRE!’. Turn the page and it goes into the Surgeon’s speech before they meet Religimon."
- This issue ranked #36 on the November 2001 Diamond Comics Distributor's Preorders list with an estimated 43, 800 units sold.
- This issue is collected in The Authority: Transfer of Power trade.
- This issue is collected in the Absolute Authority-Book 2 hardcover.
