I really enjoyed this one. One of the issues inside was modeled after a tabloid magazine based around people with Powers, and it was really just this nice bit of fresh air in the middle of the story. The main arc dealt with Olympia's death, an event we saw depicted in the pilot of the TV series.

And while I adored that the TV show tied his death in with the bigger arc of Sway and what that is and does to people, I really liked the fact that he just dies of an orgasm in this. It was so ridiculous it was lovely.
