Powers #1
This French-language volume collects the earliest issues of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's acclaimed superhero noir series, following homicide detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim as they investigate crimes involving superpowered individuals in a world where capes and masks are commonplace. Published by Semic S.A., this edition presents the gritty, dialogue-driven storytelling and stark art that defined the series' unique take on the genre.
In Powers #1, Walker takes to the airwaves, revealing to Pilgrim that he once wielded powers as Diamond—until losing them in a brutal fight. With the help of a clue sparked by the broadcast, the duo follows a trail that leads them into a dangerous investigation. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Nikolavitch, with art by Michael Avon Oeming and colors by Pat Garrahy, the issue’s cover by Oeming and Bendis captures the tension of a story where the past isn’t as buried as it seems.
In "null," detective Walker dives into the murder of Retro Girl, only to find himself pulled into a web of tension when Kutter summons him to his office just as he’s about to question Johnny Royalle. The case unfolds with sharp edges and quiet dread, as the lines between justice, power, and past secrets begin to blur.
In "null," Walker, a man haunted by a past he can't quite remember, takes to television to confront a haunting truth: once known as the powered hero Diamond, he lost his abilities in a battle that changed everything. As he shares his story with Pilgrim, their investigation takes a sharp turn when the broadcast triggers a crucial clue—leading them down a dangerous path toward uncovering a killer.
