Powers #31

Powers #31 kicks off a brand-new story arc with a cover that commands attention — a massive, red, intensely glowering face fills nearly the entire black background, its dark eyes staring straight at you with unmistakable menace. Michael Avon Oeming's stark, bold linework makes that brooding crimson visage feel genuinely unsettling, a perfect mood-setter for "Forever Part One." Brian Michael Bendis and Oeming, fresh off acclaimed runs on Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil, bring that same sharp storytelling energy to this 2003 Image Comics chapter of their celebrated superhero crime series.
