4.0 out of 5 stars Great comic!, April 10, 2007
By Donald N. Bernier (leeds, ma United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderful collection of an amazing series. Bendis is at his best in this series and Oeming's art is excellent. The only reason this collection didn't get 5 stars is because of the binding. Because it is hardcover some of the art and word balloons are cut off. It wasn't that big of a deal for me because I have read these issues previously but if you haven't you run the risk of breaking the binding when you try to open the book up to see the complete pages. Still well worth the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Most amazing extras ever collected. , November 7, 2006
I bought this hardcover collection even though I already owned the Who Killed Retro Girl TPB, it collects the first two major story lines and the previously uncollected issue 7 where comic writer Warren Ellis rides along with Walker. But more importantly it has some of the BEST extras ever collected. A series of promotional comic strips, the complete script from the first issue, the Powers coloring book and also a "best of letter pages" segment.
A definite must buy for all fans of powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of fantastic work, March 22, 2006
Taking a new slant on the superhero genre, by looking at them through the eyes of two cops who solve superhero-related murders, Bendis and Oeming have created one of the finest comics to date. This oversized collection collects the first eleven issues in order of original publication as well as a great deal of extra material, including the best of the letters page.

I must agree with some reviewers, that's a frustration to see that the crimes
