Don't think this place is going to clinch the village of the year trophy, though.

The Authority (Volume 4) #8 is an issue of the series The Authority (Volume 4) with a cover date of May, 2009.
Synopsis for "Authority: World's End - Chapter 8"
From Midnighter's point of view, it's been a week since he approached the abandoned cabin and found himself transported to a place seemingly unaffected by Armageddon. He also played along with being a vicar for the village, waiting for the others to find him. Angie and Swift finally show up and let Midnighter know that from their point of view, it's only been twenty minutes since he disappeared. Angie tells him they must be in some sort of pocket reality.
Meanwhile, their presence in the village hasn't gone undetected. They are attacked by a group calling themselves "Team Unicorn." The group consists of British Bulldog, Dr. Dee, Mosquito, and the giant Gog. As Midnighter battles Dr. Dee, he realizes Dee has no qualms about taking out civilians to get at Midnighter. Swift ends up squishing Mosquito and Angie is left to deal with Gog. Angie throws a grenade at Gog and causes him to fall onto Dr. Dee. British Bulldog falls to Midnighter who kicks him in the groin.
Elsewhere in the village, a maid approaches her master, identified only as 'Charles' and tells him that Team Unicorn was defeated. He becomes angered by the news, telling the maid to take his wife and children indoors, and proceeds to fly up into the air. As he does, his human face slowly morphs into the face of a clock. Charles descends towards Midnighter, Angie, and Swift and tells them he won't have "undesirables" disturbing his family. He then attacks the three with some sort of energy wave.

Synopsis for "Defile: A Narrow Pass - Part Two: Bones"
Lord Defile prepares to confront Rapier, a powerful Daemonite sorcerer, in what remains of New York City. Rapier shows up in which he appears as a young skate-boarder. He explains to Defile that he is here on Earth to assess viability for Daemonite colonization. Defile is not amused by Rapier's attempts at humor and breaks Rapier's hand before telling him that Earth belongs to Defile. Rapier retaliates by embedding Defile's body into the ground. With only his head still exposed, Rapier informs Defile to not get in his way. Defile tries to threaten to destroy Rapier but the Daemonite sorcerer uses his magic on Defile.
Defile wakes up back in his lair just as before. He deduces that Rapier must have channeled massive energies to open a portal between Daemon and Earth. Defile decides that he too will need a source of enormous power in order to defeat Rapier.
