Powers #16

Part four of the "Cosmic" arc arrives in this 2006 Icon title from writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming, whose cover sets a quietly haunting mood: two figures stand apart on a dark, empty highway stretching toward a distant glow, a vast star-filled sky pressing down overhead. The cool blue palette and the physical distance between the man in the foreground and the smaller figure further down the road suggest a story pulling its characters toward something enormous — and uncertain.
