    Question Is "Powers" by Bendis dead or what?

    The last issue is dated May 2017 and teases a "next issue", in a month. Now that Bendis has moved to DC, is there any hope of this series getting back on track?

    Is the Icon imprint still a thing? It was a subset of Marvel most recently.

    I don't think Powers would be continuing under Marvel/Icon if Bendis has an exclusive deal with DC, but maybe (as long as Bendis owns/controls that property) it could become a future DC imprint some time in the future.

    I believe I read somewhere that Bendis will be given his own imprint at DC.
    If that's true, I'd expect it be relaunched there.

    Bendis is getting Jinxworld started at DC as a home for all his creator-owned stuff. Powers has been mentioned as one of the titles going there. New editions of all the trades, new issues and new collections as arcs are completed. United States of Murder Inc. has also been mentioned, and both are by Oeming working with Bendis, so I am not sure which will launch first or if they will alternate.
