Powers 25 #5

The cover of this 2026 Dark Horse release pulls you straight into a tense, otherworldly moment — a powerfully built, bearded figure blazes with electric blue energy from his eyes while shielding a younger, sharp-eyed companion, all surrounded by an eerie green void and the looming shadow of monstrous clawed hands closing in. It's a striking visual from colorist Nick Filardi and letterer Joshua Reed, capturing that signature Powers blend of superhuman threat and grounded human stakes that Bendis and Oeming have long made their hallmark. Twenty-five years of Powers and this fifth issue of the anniversary volume makes it clear the series still knows how to frame danger with real dramatic weight.
