Powers #4

Powers #4 wraps up the "Who Killed Retro Girl?" arc with a cover that crackles with tension — a determined man fires a pistol against a bold yellow-and-black city backdrop, while a young woman in a number-5 jersey holds up a detective's badge at the forefront. Silhouettes of airborne figures streak across the skyline above, and a crowd of grim, watchful faces fills the lower corners, giving the whole composition the feel of a city under pressure. Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Avon Oeming bring a sharp, design-forward sensibility to this 2000 Image series, blending street-level detective work with a world where powered figures soar overhead.
