Marvel Comics has supplied Hypergeek with a four-page preview of the first issue of the new ongoing Powers series by series creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

While Powers has had many miniseries in its several years of publication, Powers #1 marks the first ever ongoing monthly series of the popular crime comic. If you’ve not read Powers before, don’t fret, because Marvel are touting this as the perfect jumping on point for new readers of the series. Considered by many to be the finest work by both Bendis and Oeming, this is one comic you really do not want to miss out on!

Powers #1 will be released on November 25^th 2009 from all good comic stores. Included below is a gallery of four interiour pages from Powers #1, along with a cover gallery for Powers #1-3 and the Powers Encyclopedia.

If you do feel like catching up on the series, I highly recommend the Definitive Collections, which are available from Amazon.com for a nice low price. Please consider buying through the below affiliate links, so Hypergeek gets a tiny cut of Amazon’s Fat Cash:
