Dedicated superhero gamers and role-playing aaficionados won't want to miss this, because there's no better way to present Absolute Power than in a stunning two-volume collected set wrapped in a protective slipcase. Both volumes feature vibrant leatherette covers – Book One in red; Book Two in blue – with padded boards and silver foil logo stamping on their covers and spines. The durable slipcase is printed in full color with the cover illustrations from Books One (the Guard superhero team) and Two (the White Rooks supervillain team) printed on opposite sides.

Do you have what it takes to resist the ever-present lure of Absolute Power?
