Powers #30

Billed as a "Super Sized Shocker," this thirtieth issue of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's gritty superhero procedural caps off "The Sellouts" arc in style. Michael Avon Oeming's cover is a striking image of a caped figure in orange and red, silhouetted against a blazing cosmic light as they rocket away from Earth into the star-filled void — equal parts majestic and unsettling. It's a vivid reminder of why Powers consistently delivers the kind of street-level superhero storytelling that feels genuinely unlike anything else from 2003.
