Powers: #5 - Anarchy


Okay. So clearly I'm on board with this comic series now. And to think I almost gave up on it. This issue was a really really quick read, and really pushed the story and characters into a new direction. There's some great discussions in this volume about the idea of superheroes to begin with, and what happens to our society when we look to others to protect us. Lots us stuff to chew on and make you think. I like it. As a side note, the graphic novel collections are packed with really great extras, Bendie and Oeming are never shy about discussing their craft, which is nice. Worth checking out for sure. I'll be honest, it takes until the fourth book for this series to really start cooking, but it's worth getting through. You could probably skip the third book altogether and not miss a whole hell of a lot.
