Powers #26

Powers #26 arrives under the Icon imprint with a striking promise right on the cover: "All New Story!! New Format!! More Pages!!" — a genuine fresh start for Bendis and Oeming's celebrated street-level superhero crime series. Michael Avon Oeming's cover art zeroes in on a dark-haired figure bathed in sickly yellow-green light, eyes glowing with an eerie supernatural intensity against a gritty urban backdrop of elevated structures and a city skyline. It's a moody, unsettling image that captures exactly the kind of tension between the human and the extraordinary that makes Powers such a compelling read in 2007.
