Powerless #1

"Powerless [Part 1]" kicks off a striking new series from Matt Cherniss and Peter Johnson, with Michael Gaydos handling art and inks, and Lee Loughridge’s colors grounding the story in a world where superheroes are myth and reality feels thin. William Watts, recently awakened from a coma haunted by visions of costumed heroes, finds himself drawn into a case involving a disfigured Peter Parker, a blind attorney named Matt Murdock, and the shadow of the Kingpin—only to be hunted by a masked assailant with bionic claws. Alex Maleev’s cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story where power isn’t just about strength, but about who holds the truth.
