Powers #1

From Eisner Award-winning team Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming comes this 2000 Image series that drops readers squarely into a world where costumed figures soar through a darkened city sky — and someone still has to do the unglamorous detective work down on the street. The cover's stark, angular composition centers on a determined plainclothes detective, gun in hand, standing against a dramatic burst of yellow light with flying powered figures silhouetted above the urban skyline. "Who Killed Retro Girl? Part 1" promises a gritty crime-procedural sensibility set against a superhero backdrop, and this opening issue is your invitation in.
