Powers #36

From the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming comes issue #36 of their acclaimed crime-superhero series, wrapping up the "Forever" arc with part six. Oeming's cover spotlights a confident, blonde superheroine in a white-and-red costume, shades firmly on, with crackling energy bolts slashing across her striking pose — equal parts cool and formidable. It's a sharp, stylish cap to what's been a compelling storyline, and a fine showcase for Oeming's bold, animated visual sensibility.
