Powers

Powers, the long-running police procedural set in a world of superhumans, returned to Dark Horse in 2022 for a new arc. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Michael Avon Oeming, the series follows detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim as they investigate crimes involving "powers," the costumed heroes and villains who have reshaped society. This 2022 run continues the creators' signature blend of gritty noir, dark humor, and character-driven storytelling that has defined the series since its original launch. It remains a essential, grounded take on the superhero genre, focusing on the human cost and bureaucratic mess of living alongside gods.
