Powers

Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s Powers (2015–2017) brings their acclaimed creator-owned series to Marvel for an eight-issue run, following detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim as they investigate crimes involving superhumans in a gritty, grounded take on the superhero genre. This volume continues the duo’s signature blend of noir procedural and character-driven drama, with Bendis’s sharp dialogue and Oeming’s expressive, angular art defining the series’ moody atmosphere. It matters as a high-profile homecoming for a seminal independent comic, showcasing the creative team’s mature, police-procedural approach to a world of powers and consequences.
