Small Gods #5
an issue of Small Gods by Image Comics
The Concept: In 1991, after decades of skepticism and disbelief, the existence of psychic powers was finally, definitively proven. Today, an estimated 1% of the world's population possesses psychic abilities. These people are not superheroes. In most ways, they're just ordinary people, living ordinary lives. They have families, careers and dreams; they eat, sleep, live…and die.
This Issue: "Dead Man’s Hand," Part One—Start of a new story arc. Bobby Pope is a con man and petty criminal. He's also a psychic. He makes a living fleecing marks through card games, street fights and other scams. Aided by his abilities, he can't lose…until he crosses paths with a group of narcotics officers with more on their minds than catching criminals.
