Powers #26

Powers #26 kicks off the "Sellouts" arc's second chapter with a cover that practically demands your attention — five costumed heroes posed against a bright, retro-styled rainbow background under the cheeky banner "Meet the Sellouts." Michael Avon Oeming's clean, confident linework brings the group to vivid life: a towering figure in white and red with a lightning bolt emblem takes center stage, flanked by a purple-clad bald hero, a green-goggled fighter, a caped figure in red and black, and a blue-costumed woman with a red headband. Brian Michael Bendis and Oeming's 2002 crime-superhero series had a knack for skewering superhero culture with wit, and this cover promises exactly that kind of sharp, knowing fun.
