Books like Powers, Vol. 6: The Sellouts

3.5 starsEeeeeeh. I'm torn on this one. On one hand, I thought the murder (and other spoilery things) mystery was good. It had more oomph than most of the previous volumes' crimes because the consequences had more of a fallout. On the other hand, it seemed like Bendis was trying to give the reader their money's worth and cram every available space with words. Not every page looks like someone took a verbal shit on it, but enough that when I thumbed through before reading it, I got that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.And yes, to top it off, the fake magazine articles were back. And they were filled to the brim with more fake superhero gossip and other nonsense that I'm sure Bendis and Oeming thought was oh so funny and clever. The gist is that a Power who supposedly made a sex tape with an underaged girl is then found dead in his home, and it appears (or not!) that the murderer is an invisible assailant. Deena and Christian set about tracking down his old group (think: Justice League) to try to ferret out whodunnit, but spoilery things happen that (literally) rock the world.Part of me thinks this is a cool story, and part of me just wants to go ahead and finish this title before I forget what happened.
