centauria 's review for:
Powers: Bureau, Vol. 1: Undercover
by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Avon Oeming
I was so excited when the very first issue of Powers came out all those years ago. I read that story and thought "how awesome and different" but stopped engaging in the tale a few volumes in. I never finished the first arc. With that being said, there are a couple spoiler points in this next arc, but not enough to ruin the experience of finishing the first (I don't think).
Now, to this tale. It didn't feel like there was some great upheaval or change in the world or in the relationship between the titular characters. Maybe it's a nod to their friendship/partnership, but I never felt like there had ever been any distance or "bad blood" between the two. In fact, it felt like the world just kind of accepted them back into the fold all easy peazy like.Maybe another nod to their personalities? (I am literally hunching my shoulders right now).
This story was no fun for me. Not sure why either. It just felt to easy for the world to move on from a crisis. Maybe humanity is all jaded in the Powers universe? Or maybe something is wrong with me? Or, maybe I needed to real all of the first arc to appreciate this volume 1 of a new arc?
I don't know. Either way it was a quick read, something decent to pass the time. If you like/love these characters, maybe this was a nice way of reuniting old friends (and enemies).
