Excerpt from Powers: Cosmic

Brian Michael Bendis has written the best Powers story arc so far. "Cosmic," the tenth trade collection, features on-stage monologues as narrative framing devices between action scenes. This piece of dialogue has stuck with me for several days after reading it:

"My sister had a baby...and I was thinking, this niece of mine...she has nothing left to learn about human beings other than how horribly disappointing they can and will be. I'm saying: right now, all people in the eyes of a two year old are equally fine. All she has left to learn is they are not!"
