Brilliant #1

This collection kicks off the 2014 Marvel series Brilliant, a creator-owned project from the House of Ideas that explores the real-world implications of superhuman abilities. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mark Bagley, the story follows a group of college students who discover they've gained extraordinary powers, only to find themselves targeted by forces that want to control or exploit them. Volume 1 sets the stage for a grounded, tense take on the superhero genre, focusing on the personal and societal fallout of sudden power.
