This latest volume of Powers has had a VERY spotty release schedule, but here we finally have the last installment of the "Golden Ones" story arc, sorta. A godlike being has gone mad and decided to take out her frustrations on the human race. So she floods the entire city of Chicago, killing more than 6,000 people, leaving more than a million displaced and more than 1,000 people missing, including new Retro Girl Calista, Triphammer and homicide detective Christian Walker.
The fallout of this latest development was supposed to lead into the latest incarnation of Powers, wherein all powers-related cases are now under federal jurisdiction. The new title is planned to be Powers: Bureau. However, with all of the delays leading into Powers issue No. 11, the first several issues of Powers: Bureau are all also quite late. In fact, by coincidence, the day before I read this issue, I received a notice from my comic supplier that my previous orders for Powers: Bureau Nos. 1, 2 and 3 have all been canceled by the publisher. Likely they will be resolicited in the future and this is just a move to correct the lateness issue.
Let's hope so anyway.
