Dark Horse Comics presents a hilarious new comic miniseries in Who are the Power Pals? This new series is a buddy comedy about fame, friendship, and learning just how long you’re willing to fake it till you make it. Who are the Power Pals? is written by renowned screen actor, writer, and producer Duane Murray, with art, colors, and cover art by acclaimed UK-based Egyptian comic artist Ahmed Raafat and lettered by Rob Jones. And make sure to keep an eye out for the variant cover edition of issue #1, featuring art by Matt Kindt.

Washed-up actors Derek and Alex have been best friends ever since playing teen superheroes “Swallow” and “Buzzard” in the ’90s TV show Power Pals. Wait, you’ve never heard of it? Don’t worry; you’re not alone, since the show was canceled after only three episodes. But that small taste of fame left them hungry for more, and they’ve been trying to get back on the Hollywood train ever since. After being fired from their studio security jobs and dropped by their agent, the middle-aged pair decide to don their old costumes and thrust themselves back into the public eye. While walking Hollywood Boulevard alongside popular cosplayers, they step in to defend tourists from being badgered by a pair of rip-off characters. A video of the duo’s heroic actions goes viral, and the attention inspires them to fight more crime. But when their low-level crime-fighting inadvertently disrupts the plans of a crazed crime boss, their friendship will undergo the ultimate test. And they soon begin to realize that neither it nor they may survive long enough to enjoy their newfound fame. 

Who are the Power Pals? #1 (of 4) will arrive in comic shops on March 19, 2025, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.
