Potential

In the late 1990s, Slave Labor Graphics published Potential, a six-issue miniseries that explores a world where superpowers are a biological reality—but one that comes with a heavy price. The story follows a young woman who discovers she has the ability to absorb the powers of others, a gift that forces her to confront the ethical and personal costs of her newfound strength. Known for its gritty, introspective take on the superhero genre, the series stands out for its focus on character-driven drama rather than flashy action. A cult favorite from the indie comics boom, Potential remains a thoughtful examination of power and responsibility.
