Product Description: A dead Cosmic Avenger shows the world that there are forces at work that no mere mortal cop could possibly understand, but it doesn't matter either way because Internal Affairs has set their sights on Deena Pilgrim. Walker and Pilgrim have been homicide detectives and partners for years, but secrets they've kept from each other are now too big and too dangerous to remain secrets for long. Things are about to get really crazy... even for the Eisner Award-winning Powers! From the writer of New Avengers! Collects Powers (Vol. 2) #19-24.
Graphic SF Reader Things are getting crazily out of control.
Both of the cops Walker and Pilgrim have secrets that make them most definitely not the sort of person that should now be working in their area of enforcing the law that they have been involved with for so long.
Some superpowered escalation to be found in this volume.

My personal favorite of all I own every Powers TPB, but this one is my favorite. I love them all, but this one held my interest more than the others because the story is just so well-executed. The surprises that come to fruition in this volume provide possible foreshadowing for issues to come!
A fantastic Powers collection, one of my favorite! I own every Powers trade, and rate Secret Identity way towards the top. I don't want to give too much away, because Bendis does some great plot work, but the supernatural nature of the murders in this collection are a great touch. Powers has been a traditional true-crime book (WKRG?), sci-fi/fantasy (Forever, Cosmic), and now horror. I'm a pretty discriminating reader, and I truly love what Bendis and Oeming do with Powers. If you haven't bought a comic trade in a while, and love horror or police stories, do yourself a big hairy favor and get Secret Identity. Your brain will thank you, the only way it knows how: by releasing a gushing flood of endorphins.
