“P.O.V.”

In "P.O.V.", Dan Abnett and Brian Williamson deliver a tense, character-driven moment as the mysterious Recorder observes Force Works in the thick of battle with the Avatars. With a chilling mix of detachment and dark anticipation, he reflects on how he manipulated their arrival by erasing critical data—and secretly hopes one of them will die, so he can capture the moment as a recorded legacy. The issue’s stark, grounded tone is elevated by Frank Lopez’s moody colors and Madonna’s sharp lettering, all framed by a striking cover by John Czop, Fred Harper, and Scott "Pond Scum" Elmer.

The Recorder carefully watches Force Works engage in battle with the Avatars, and muses how he purposely erased data from the Works' computer system so that the crisis would be much worse by the time the team arrived. He also ominously hopes that one of the Force Works team will die in the battle, so that he can record the death of a hero.
