Description
Celebrate over twenty years of Powers with Powers - The Best Ever — a massive, original graphic novel that is both a perfect jumping on point for newcomers, and essential reading for longtime fans!
Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, and Jessica Jones teams up with his long-time superstar Powers co-creator Michael Avon Oeming to celebrate over twenty years of the Eisner award-winning cops and capes comic, with their most significant Powers story ever!
It's been over two decades since detectives Deena Pilgrim and Christian Walker teamed up to solve the murder of the most beloved superhero Retro Girl. It's been years since they've spoken. It's been years since the world changed. But the worst criminal in Powers history, Wolf, has been reincarnated and all hell has broken loose. This opus of a graphic novel covers the entire life of the seemingly immortal Christian Walker as he fights one last time to protect those he swore to protect.
Collects issues 7 and 8 of Powers (2015) along with new story material published in the earlier edition of Powers - The Best Ever, plus all comic book covers and a sketchbook section.
Also included is an exclusive look back on the storied legacy of the Powers comic book series, TV show, and beyond.
Whether you are new to Powers or a longtime fan, Powers - The Best Ever is a must-have!
