Powers #28

Powers #28 brings Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's gritty superhero noir to the fourth chapter of "The Sellouts." Michael Avon Oeming's cover is a coolly composed close-up of a figure's midsection — white crop top, jeans, and a holstered revolver on one hip alongside what appears to be a badge holder on the other — all rendered in clean, deliberate lines that nail the series' detective-drama sensibility. It's a quietly confident image that captures exactly the kind of street-level tension Powers does so well.
