Synopsis

Ever since she could walk, Homicide Detective Deena Pilgrim followed in her father’s footsteps. A man with a badge, Waldo Pilgrim surrounded himself with what Deena believed to be the cream of the crop when it came to serving and protecting. These days, Deena won’t discuss her father or the life she left behind in Atlanta years ago, a life before she partnered with Christian Walker to investigate homicide cases in a city where perps and victims boast incredible, dangerous powers. Now, nearly a decade of bringing Powers to justice has broken down Deena’s resolve, along with the walls she erected long ago to protect herself from prying eyes. Walls that kept her from a past best left alone, and from those determined to get close and bring horrible, heartbreaking memories to the surface once more.

Goodreads review by Baba on October 06, 2023

Role playing superheroes does not end well for a group of kids. It's bad enough that they're breaking the law just by wearing super hero costumes. Indie-punk rookie Powers Division detective Deena Pilgrim gets into the deepest of pooh after her erm... 'accident' with a suspect, who wasn't technicall......more

Goodreads review by Anne on April 21, 2018

3.5 stars Powers is one of those comics that's just easy to read. Short, not much dialogue, interesting enough to keep you coming back for more. The Roleplay storyline is fairly simple. A handful of college kids decide to roleplay as different superheroes and end up dead. The mystery isn't all that inte......more

2.5|5 Decent. I still don’t like the art style,it looks so amateurish,even if it didn’t bother me as much as it did in the first volume. The story itself isn’t great either; it was rather tiring to read for some reason. I’ll probably read the next volume but I’m not sure if I’ll commit to the whole s......more

Goodreads review by Molly™☺ on April 19, 2022

A step up from the first volume in regards to pace and plot. It offers a much more compelling narrative, with a really interesting main concept. Sadly, it ends a little on the flat side. Where I was expecting a big, climactic conclusion, there was only one page of dialogue to essentially wrap everyt......more

Goodreads review by James on December 01, 2017

Powers is a nice little unique title. While not mindblowing I can see why it got a cult following. This one starts very different than volume 1. We have a group of kids who cosplay their favorite heroes. Pretty normal right? Especially now days with how popular nerd culture is. However, these guys r......more
