Damn it, why the hell is it always my books that get wet when the roof leaks? The Powers tpb was right next to the gossip mags, why'd the good stuff have to go? *sigh* I think it's still salvageable, though the front cover's gonna be tricky. Huh. The inner pages only got soaked to the part where the superhero pees on the underage hooker - the rest of the pages are only slightly damp. An ironic twist, or a cruel joke of nature?

I only just discovered Powers recently, and hot damn am I hooked. It's basically CSI with superheroes, only with much better writing and a healthy disrespect for the characters and ideals that make superheroes so exciting in the first place. Continuity's kickass and the art sets the tone perfectly - oh, the lighting, it's fantastic on this book. Powers has the best use of shadow I have ever seen in a comicbook. Ever.

I can rant all night about the storylines and drama and little details that make me crazy (and I'm not using that word lightly, it's becoming a thing) but I'd much rather you read it for yourselves. The trades are available all over, and cheaper at Amazon than you'd expect. There's even the first few storyarcs online, so there's really no reason for you not to read them, is there?

Needless to say, adult content yonder. (But isn't that the fun part?)

Start here, at the first stroryarc: Who Killed Retro Girl?

P!Online - The official page. Nifty, huh?
