Powerless TPB (2005) comic books

1st printing. Collects Powerless (2004) #1-6. Written by MATT CHERNISS and PETER JOHNSON. Art by MICHAEL GAYDOS. Cover by ALEX MALEEV. What makes a hero? Is it his actions, or is it the results of those actions? POWERLESS explores what it means to be a hero in very human terms. By re-imagining Marvel's most popular characters without superhuman powers, this story strips down to the core heroes we have all come to know and love. These characters ? including Peter Parker, Matt Murdock, and Logan ? were fated to be heroes. Just because Peter Parker wasn't bitten by a radioactive spider doesn't mean he didn't do battle with a madman named Norman Osborn. Matt Murdock? Blinded, yes ? but with no heightened senses. However, he did become a legal champion of the poor in Hell's Kitchen, and he did cross paths with Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin. And Logan is, of course, the enigmatic ? and amnesiac ? drifter on the run from his past. Softcover, 144 pages, full color. Cover price $14.99.
