About the series
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming—the team behind Powers—launched this Image Comics series in 1998, a single-issue standalone that mashes up true crime confessionals with Bendis's signature raw, dialogue-driven storytelling. It offers a gritty, intimate look at a criminal's psyche through a stark, noir-tinged lens, with Oeming's bold, expressive art grounding the confession in a visceral, unglamorous reality. A fascinating early artifact of Bendis's pre-Ultimate Spider-Man era, it showcases the duo's knack for turning genre tropes into character studies.
