  Ultimately, this is a series which has perhaps struggled to find the right audience. Marketed as a more straightforward alternate Marvel Universe tale, it has taken me the full six issues to really appreciate the points the series was trying to make, and as such it may meet with more success when published in a collected edition in due course. Its a series which hasnt been too easy to get into, but has eventually been fairly rewarding, and definitely worthy of your attention. It would be nice to see Marvel taking more chances like this instead of slapping Spider-Man and Wolverine into yet another straightforward guest-appearance, but I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies: Powerless has turned out to be an under-rated and original comic, and one that is definitely worth a look for Marvel fans and fans of unpredictable storytelling alike.
