The Power Company #10

The Power Company reports for a 10:30 appointment in style — this Tom Grummett and Prentis Rollins cover captures a wonderfully dry moment as a cloaked, leonine figure hovers at a reception desk while a glowing energy being and a massive stone creature loom dramatically behind him, scattering papers and startling the receptionist. Kurt Busiek's superhero-for-hire concept gets a lot of mileage out of that collision between the extraordinary and the mundane, and this tenth issue suggests "Dealing with Devils" keeps that balance sharp. A bonus preview of Superman: Metropolis is tucked inside, making this a packed January 2003 package.
