Powers Secrets

Let's see I got out of Jury Duty on Monday, but for 40 bucks a day it certainly wouldn't have been that bad. But it was a rape case against 2 people...I wanted no part of that.

Also on Suprnova they finally got "Powers" a comic series I've been wanting to read for a while and just ended a week or so ago. Its about a couple of police officers in a special homicide unit that deals with 'Powers' or super powered people, heros, villains. I bought the first trade a little while ago, and I definetly wanted to continue reading it. But yeah I read about 31 issues of it on my computer...yesterday, I couldn't stop reading. of course I get to the end and...the last issue isn't there. I read about 31 issues, and the last issue of the series and storyarc isn't there. So I of course went out today and bought the last issue. But yeah so good.

I'm kinda sad I missed it when it first started. It started off with that premise, and its good, but it becomes so much more. You get to see what superheros are really likeThe writer also did some research on cops for this to make it more accurate, his dialogue is spot on and his characters are so enjoyable to read, and actually emote. The art is fantastic very vibrant, jumps off the page. Its actually starting with a new #1 this month or next, I definetly plan to start reading that. They stepped away from the homicide part for awhile, ended up being quite an epic, but now after a certain event 'powers' are now illegal, to be a hero or villain. And the homicide team is back together doing what they do best and that where the series kicks off, I can't wait. Powers is written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Michael Avon Oeming. This writer now writes almost all the comics on my current top five including Daredevil, The Pulse and now Powers.

Hmm maybe I can get Cat into this one, its CSI-ish, good characters, plenty of gore. Worth a try?

Also I added the secret section back, with the old stuff, and one thing I plan to keep adding/changing. I'll keep looking for more stuff to put there.
