Powers

    (Image, 2000-2004)
™ and ©2000 Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming

Brian Michael Bendis teamed with artist Michael Avon Oeming to bring out this refreshing and original take on crime fiction, mixed with a sprinkling of super-heroes. The protagonist is Detective Walker, as hardboiled as they come. He is called to the scene of a hostage situation by a man locked in his apartment with a little girl and a rocket strapped to his back. And why did this nutcase call for Walker, whom he’d never met?

Because word on the street was that Walker was soft on crooks with Powers.

When the rocket-case gets sent up the river, babysitting duties fall to Walker. As if his day weren’t going badly enough, he soon finds he’s got a new partner—and a new case: the murder of a female super-hero.

Fast-paced, brilliantly dialogued, and surprisingly approachable, Powers is Bendis at his best. Oeming’s artwork works beautifully with it, giving a sort of “Superman Adventures” style to what otherwise would be a cop noir drama.
