Synopses & Reviews
Heroes glide through the sky on lightning bolts and fire. Flamboyant villains attempt daring daylight robberies. God-like alien creatures clash in epic battle over the nighttime sky. And on the dirty city streets below, homicide detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim do their job.
Powers: Little Deaths collects the "Groupies" story arc, along with "Ride Along," from the sold-out Powers #7 in which Warren Ellis guest-stars as himself. Also included is the complete Powers Annual (including the story from Wizard's Powers 1/2) and the Powers Coloring and Activity Book, along with a dazzling new sketchbook section from Oeming, a cover gallery, an in-depth interview with Bendis, and as a special bonus feature, Bendis and Oeming's very first collaboration, the crime noir tale, "Keys."
It's cops and capes like you have NEVER seen them in the surprise hit from the Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil) and art deco comic artist Mike Avon Oeming (Bastard Samurai, Hammer of the Gods).
Review
"Bendis has a knack for snappy pulp dialogue and takes pleasure in presenting the gritty, seedy underbelly of a city where superheroes have all the visibility and nasty problems of Hollywood stars. Bendis combines a literary naturalism with cop-show suspense to generate a genuine interest in his characters." Publishers Weekly
