Powers #5
This volume collects the fifth story arc of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's acclaimed superhero noir series, originally published under DC's Icon imprint. It continues the gritty, character-driven exploration of homicide detectives working in a world populated by superpowered beings, focusing on the personal and professional fallout from previous cases.
In "Secret Identity: Chapter 4," Walker and Pilgrim follow a trail of evidence that suggests their investigation could unravel far beyond the usual suspects—pointing toward the highest levels of power, even the President himself. As the fallout from Teague’s death continues to ripple through their lives, the stakes grow personal and the truth becomes harder to grasp.
In "The 25 Coolest Dead Superheroes of All Time: Chapter 3," Pilgrim digs into the mysterious deaths of children linked to forbidden powers, while Triphammer storms a police station in a desperate search for his missing daughter—each man chasing shadows in a world where heroism has no second chance.
In "The 25 Coolest Dead Superheroes of All Time: Chapter 4," Retro-Girl goes deep undercover to track down the source of a spreading powers virus, while Deena, already navigating the case alone, finds herself in a dangerous situation. The investigation twists through the remnants of fallen heroes, blending noir tension with the eerie legacy of those who’ve passed.
