dsrtao_Powers: Roleplay_, Brian Michael Bendis
_Powers: Little Deaths_, Brian Michael Bendis
The Musashi Flex, Steve Perry
Volumes two and three of _Powers_, a police procedural set in a superhero universe. In fact, it's a lot like Law and Order with supervillain perps, right down to witty banter between the exPower detective and his snarky normal female partner.
Perry's been working on this universe for about 10 books now, ever since _The Man Who Never Missed_ in 1985. The first line of each book starts off "Death came for..." and begins a fight scene of some sort. If he weren't so good at the plotting, action and general storytelling, one might find it unforgivable that he favors gratuitously explicit sex scenes and child abuse as the all-purpose villain motivator. His writing was never bad, but this book is especially well-written for him. Contains odd Tuckerizing of a resident of rec.knives.
