We start off 2013 with a writer’s arc focusing on Brian Michael Bendis. This week we read “Powers,” an Image comic about two detectives trying to solve the case of a murdered super hero. We talk about the Christian-Deena relationship, the cartoon-noire art style, and good old-fashioned street-level murder mystery.

The tales of King Arthur are some of the oldest, most established stories in the entire genre of fantasy literature. “Camelot 3000” by Mike Barr and Brian Bolland brings the tradition to comics. Arthur awakes to England under siege by an alien invasion while the world’s leaders sit by and scheme over power. We talk about the comic’s controversial cojones, transgender characters, the perils of modernizing classics, and David Bowie.
