POWERS Goes POP!

tdaniel · 03-19-2006, 04:33 PM

For some time now Dr. Omega has been posting POWERS cover comparisons; between a published POWERS cover and the original pop culture source that inspired Oeming.

With Dr. Omega's permission, P! has compiled them all in once place, our page called POP!

It is very cool to see all of the choices Mike has made over the course of the series.

Along these lines, we're also happy to present THREADS, which is a catalogue of threads here on the site (some still active, amany locked but full of excellent POWERS information!) You will also find related POWERS merch, like the maquettes, lithos, clothing, etc.

Thank you Dr. Omega for providing much of the information above, you are a fan's fan.

HOLY SHIT! This is amazing. I'll plug this in the next newsletter (somehow I missed the last one) and in the next Powers page I do "words from oeming"
M!

Yeah, come on Mike throw us a bone or at least a clue. I know there are other interior references...also it just dawned on me that Edward Hoppers work was the inspiration for the Trade Cover for Roleplay. I'll see if I can find the original/Oeming version and pair them up...som, Mike? Some clues?
