Powers #12

This Anniversary Special edition of Powers #12 packs a full 64 pages into a single oversized issue, making it a satisfying read for fans of Bendis and Oeming's acclaimed crime-meets-superhero world. The cover by Bendis presents a close, intense portrait of a red-haired woman rendered in bold, stylized tones of red and shadow, her sharp gaze fixed directly on the viewer against a cool urban skyline — a striking, noir-inflected image that sets a tense mood. Concluding the "Psychotic" arc with its sixth chapter, this 2005 special offers plenty of room for the full creative team — including colorist Peter Pantazis and letterer Ken Bruzenak — to stretch out and deliver.
