Pick of the Week: Powers #29
Saturday, July 12th, 2008 running time 03:59
It's always nice when one of your favorite books comes out with a stellar issue, and such was the case with Josh's Pick of the Week, Powers #29
Josh has been reading Powers since the title started many years ago, and though there were many delays, it's still one of his favorite comics on the shelf. It's cops in a world with superheroes, and all the drama therein. This issue, we get the resolution to a story that's been going on for some time, with an ending that leaves us wondering what's next. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming might have other projects going on, but there might never be one better than Powers.
