From New York Times bestselling writer Brian Michael Bendis (Superman, Ultimate Spider-Man, Jessica Jones) and artist Michael Avon Oeming (Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye, United States VS. Murder Inc., Mice Templar), comes this new collection of the Eisner award-winning series Powers.

In a world where superheroes soar through the sky, homicide detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim travel the dirty city streets below doing their grueling work. Assigned to the special “Powers” cases, they face the worst their city has to offer.

Walker and Pilgrim have been homicide detectives and partners for years, but the secrets they’ve been keeping from each other have become too big and too dangerous to remain secret. One shall rise and one shall fall as their hidden powers come to a head. The world will be changed forever.
