Customer Review #1:
Good But Not Great
Detectives Walker and Pilgrim follow a case of a mysterious series of homicides in a group of superheroes. When Walker learns the truth behind the killings, he risks everything to expose the true perpetrators and bring them to justice.While the story--just like the rest of the series--isnt Bendis best, his great dialogue writing and characterization in this book are. All of the "Powers" stories have been pretty straightfoward and the mysteries have been fairly lackluster; this book is no exception, but Bendis anything goes for this title style works well, keeping the reader in the story to see what will happen next. A strong point in this book is Oemings artwork which is cartoony, but combined with Fantazis dark colors really makes for a grounded, crime noir feel. While this book was good, it was not great. The stories havent been the greatest, but Bendis authentic dialogue and Oemings artwork have been standouts throughout the series. (NOTE: This book is suggested for mature readers due to strong language and violence/gore.)

Customer Review #2:
Hard Boiled Super Hero Extra Vagance
Third Trade Paperback outing for the Powers comic book series, third super homicide case for our heroes, some character development who will enhance the metaplot of the series.
It share the weakness of the previous two: lame detective plot, but that is clearly not the reason for the appeal of the book(s).
Good characters, really good dialogs, a well defined background and captivating art are the selling points.
In a perfect world should have get just three stars, but in comparison to the rest of the market the fourth is well deserved.
And, as a matter of fact, even Watchmen had a lame detective plot.
