Powers

Just reread my entire collection to remind myself how good this is and that it's way overdue for a tv/movie adaptation.
Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim are two detectives whose cases involve the use/abuse of superpowers in a city where powers are technically illegal.
Walker, a hero who lost his powers, has a lengthy and murky past, Pilgrim is a rock chick whose favourite interrogation technique requires a baseball bat.
Violent, very funny and with a tendency to make you think the writer has just discovered bad language, it's worth a look just for the graphics.

I never read any of the Image books, always meant to, just never got around to it. Recently picked up a few of the Marvel Icon issues and felt pretty lost. Seems like I missed out on a lot of critical backstory.

Powers isn't connected to anything else AFAIK so start with the first collection and you'll know all you need to know.

But don't ... on any account ... read the letters page.


I like Bendis writing but please God don't let him do any letters pages in the future!

Mercifully there are no letters pages in the collections but he does pad them out with stuff from his wastepaper basket and rambling interviews about how great he and Oeming are
