Customer Reviews

One of the best graphic novels out there
Reading a new collection of "Powers" stories is like when a new season of "The Sopranos" comes out on DVD... It's so good, so well-written and so well-paced... and it flies by so damn fast! I zoomed through this book in a day, and was so bummed when it was done... Can't wait for the next book to come out.

"Powers" is a cop's-eye view of the world of superheros and supervillains; sure, they can zap the city into rubble, but somebody has to clean up the mess... and file the paperwork. In this volume, Det. Deena Pilgrim grapples with her newly developed superpowers... which, so far, only she knows about. Some more history about the super-community, and Deena's introduction to the police force. But where that is all heading seems very much up in the air right now! If you've been following the story this far, you'll be on the edge of your seat all the way through this one. Another winner from Bendis and Oeming. [©2006 joesixpack at slipcue dot com]

Awesome!
Having read the last 8 volumes, this one continues on in the same great style. Bendis writes this book so well. The art is up to the same great quality and style as the other books. The story continues developing the same great characters. If you've read the others, you'll be happy with this one.

Worthy addition to an excellent series
"Powers" looks at super-beings from the viewpoint of the police officers who have to deal with them. How do "normal" detectives track down, encounter and arrest people who have super-powers? In this volume, the problem is even more complicated: a former superhero has sold his costume and the source of his abilities on eBay, and the new owner is using them to commit murders!

Brian Michael Bendis is a fresh voice among writers, and tells a captivating tale in the "Powers" series. "Psychotic" may be the best volume yet. Highly recommended.
