Powers Squared’s final issue of the year, the 23rd overall, “Family Affair, Part 2”, is set for release on Wednesday, December 4. Powers Squared tells the story of Marty and Eli Powers, identical twin brothers who share superpowers granted to them by a magical kitsune. They share some of the same powers, including telepathy, teleportation, invisibility, and super sight. Individually, Marty was granted superspeed and Eli’s telekinetic abilities. The comic book, which was created by Paul, Trevor, and David Hankins, was first published in 2017.
In this issue, Marty and Eli learn the awful truth about their parents, but not before Peggy and Peter Powers mistakenly put Eli’s girlfriend Jenny in danger. With Mocha’s help, the boys stage a rescue and hope they can survive their parents’ visit. “The Powers parents would be laughable if they weren’t dangerous,” says Paul, one of the writers and the editor of the issue.
While this is the last issue of the year, it is also the last issue drawn by artist Rachel Wells, her eighteenth book in the series. “We were very sorry to see her leave,” says David. “She was integral to the look of the books.” The coloring is by Julia Canon and the lettering is by Trevor. The cover and the first few pages of the issue can be found on the Powers Squared website: https://powerssquaredcomicbook.com/%2322-23-family-affair
