About the series
In 2018, Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming brought their acclaimed creator-owned series Powers to DC for a short but potent seven-issue run. This arc follows homicide detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim as they navigate a gritty, noir-tinged world of superpowered beings, focusing on the mundane horrors and bureaucratic nightmares of policing a city of gods and monsters. Bendis’s sharp, naturalistic dialogue and Oeming’s stark, expressive art deliver a mature, character-driven story that deepens the series' legacy as a defining deconstruction of the superhero genre.
