Dark Horse Comics has announced that legendary creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Powers, one of the longest-running independent comics, with an all-new series, Powers 25. Starting in September 2025, the Eisner Award-winning cops and capes epic returns like you’ve never seen it before with both new and familiar characters, perfect for new readers and for those already acquainted with the saga.
The 12-issue ongoing series is written by Bendis (Daredevil, Masterpiece, Ultimate Spider-Man), illustrated by Oeming (Murder Inc., Blue Book, William of Newbury), colored by Nick Filardi (The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion, Deadpool 2099), and lettered by Joshua Reed (Where Monsters Lie, Joy Operations).
Each issue of the series will also feature brand new art by Dark Horse all-star creators such as Mike Mignola (Hellboy), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), David Mack (Kabuki), Scott Hepburn (Minor Threats), Eric Powell (The Goon), Jill Thompson (Beasts of Burden), and more to be revealed at a later date. The first issue will include cover art by Oeming, Mignola, Mack, and David Marquez (Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man).
In a world where superheroes soar through the sky, follow detectives and crime fighters on the dirty city streets below. Assigned to the powers special cases, they face the worst their city has to offer.
This new tale is a fun, dangerous, adult look at a world of heroes through the eyes of special homicide officer Detective Kutter and her brand-new partner, and the first power to ever make the powers division, Moebius Moon. Under the watchful eyes of legendary Captains Deena Pilgrim and Enki Sunrise, the new detectives run through a minefield of all-new dangers. A new unsolvable powers murder has Kutter and Moon questioning EVERYTHING about the world and their place in it.
“Brian and Michael’s work on Powers has been groundbreaking since its debut in 2000,” said Dark Horse Comics Founder Mike Richardson. “We are thrilled to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a new series fans will love. I can’t wait to show fans these incredible stories from two of the best creators in comics today.”
Powers 25 #1 (of 12) releases in stores on September 10, 2025. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
