The return of the multi-Eisner award-winning series! The original creators of POWERS have returned with a brand-new case featuring new secrets from the Powers universe.

Meet… THE GRAND. A whole new generation of powers that have gathered together specifically to reject the status quo of generations before them. After decades of Powers that abused their powers and turned on each other these new emissaries see themselves above what’s gone before them.

How do they fit into the new status quo of the Christian Walker Powers Act? If the cops have to play by new rules and the Powers are playing by new rules… will these new rules conflict or celebrate each other?

It’s a race to see who can uncover the conspiracy behind the latest Powers murder.
