Powers #1
This collection kicks off the 2014 Marvel revival of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's acclaimed superhero noir series. Detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim of the Powers Division investigate the murder of a beloved celebrity superheroine, Retro Girl, a case that exposes the gritty, corrupt underbelly of a world filled with super-powered beings. The volume introduces key characters like the enigmatic Dragon, the villainous The Slug, and fellow officers Dorrie Lopez and Frank Einstein, setting the stage for a hard-boiled mystery that redefined the genre.
In "Who Killed Retro Girl? Part 1," Walker’s public appeal for help leads to a shocking revelation: he was once Diamond, a powered hero who lost his abilities in a past battle. With that truth exposed and a new lead in hand, he and Pilgrim race to uncover the killer behind the mysterious death of Retro Girl. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming, this issue blends personal history with a gripping mystery, all wrapped in a striking cover by Michael Avon Oeming.
