Comic Book Series ‘Powers’ to be TV show on FX
Good news! According to Ain’t It Cool News, Kevin Falls (creator of the excellent but short-lived Journeyman TV series) has completed a script for a new series on FX called Powers. This will be based on the comic book series Powers
This is an excellent comic and I have been hoping they would make this into a TV series since reading the first few issues. From Wiki:
Powers is set in a world where superpowers are relatively common but not mundane. It follows the lives of two detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, police officers in a Homicide department devoted to cases that involve “powers” (people with superpowers). Walker himself used to be a costumed superhero named Diamond, but became a police officer after he lost his abilities. Though stripped of his powers, he still retains his contacts within the superhero community, even becoming engaged to an ex-colleague, who is later killed. In later issues, Walker is offered the chance to become the world’s latest secret Guardian as part of The Millennium Guard, a secret group of intergalactic guardians, accepting the responsibility and the powers that come with it.
Lets keep our fingers crossed that this turns out at least half as good as what I can forsee in my head!
