Remember when people were complaining it was ANOTHER issue of cops investigating murders- AGAIN?
Honestly, we havnt lost focus, we simply have a broad canvass to paint is all.
I just wanna say the latest issue blew me away, after the last issue was a bit confusing, and I think I finally see where Powers is ultimately going.
I see people are complaining that Powers is becoming less and less a crime series involving superheroes, and more just superheroes. Basically complaining that the series hassn't kept the same status quo. But I believe this is a good thing he's doing something that you can't do in any other major industry book. I mean Superman is always gonna be about a guy from Krypton who saves people, and as much as we like to think lasting change will be made, its temporary, gets reconned, just forgotten, or doesn't matter. Powers is one book that you have basically no idea what could happen next. But I believe that Powers is a story with a beginning middle and end, a long story to be true, an epic if you will. They started as friends, good friends, now they are starting to break apart. One heading towards the light, the other toward darkness. Which I think is pretty obviously gonna come down to an epic confrontation. This book is slowly becoming more and more than what it originally began as, and i can't wait to see where it goes. Now this could be a few issues away or another 20 issues down the line. But it will never be like any other comic on the market.
As for those who hate Cosmic stuff, Powers will never be about Walker and the Millenium Guard going around in space stopping cosmic badguys, pretty sure no one has to worry about that.

I really like the way the artwork changes between Deena and Walkers stories. When I first saw it I stopped and checked the credits to see if there was a different artist
I wonder if Powers is going down a “daredevil” route with Deena. I really hope she doesn’t go to jail; all the villains that she interrogated might no welcome her. Though it would be cool to read.
I can understand how people can be frustrated with the direction of the series, but i think writing off what they are doing as rip offs is not doing the creators justice. Perhaps Bendis always wanted to write GL and can't because of his Marvel contract, but perhaps he wants to do something better than Supreme Power where the powers are first and characters are second (regardless of who is writing it).
oh yeh, and if you mean this reeks of clone saga, do you mean the series seems heavily controlled by a group of editors who are trying to stretch a story out as long as possible over four titles and ruining storylines that happened 15-20 years before? cause if that is what you mean... i dunno, we'll have to wait a few years to see.
OOOOooooooo. I never thought about that! That could be interesting..

And one of those things you are painting on that canvas is a giant glowing pussy.
I bet your family is proud of you.
I like where it's going.
So what if things change? We know what Walker and Deena do at work. Let's see some more of this new stuff. Change is what makes a story. A lack of change results in Gilligan or the Brady Bunch.
The more change the better. These guys know how to handle it.
