Powers #16

Michael Avon Oeming's cover for Powers #16 splits the composition between two figures — a grim, red-lit man in a tie dominating the left and a purple-shadowed woman with striking eyes set against a nighttime cityscape on the right — creating an atmosphere of tension that feels perfectly calibrated for "Supergroup Part Two." Brian Michael Bendis and Oeming's noir-drenched series continues to find its visual identity in bold, flat color contrasts and expressive character work that makes even a quiet two-shot feel charged. If you've been following this run from Image, this 2002 installment keeps the mood exactly where fans of the series want it.
