I read the first volume/collection of Powers waaaayy back, when I was newish to CoH actually, and liked it; always meant to read more, but haven't gotten to it, and can't now, but look forward to the show.
Oh hell yes.
Go read Powers if you haven't people, it's good stuff.
Huh. I just heard about the comic yesterday, and then I see this today. Weird.

Yeah I remember two or three years ago he mentioned it (wouldn't specifically say it was FX but hinted heavily) at Baltimore Comic-con and then I never heard anything more about it. I had assumed it wasn't going to happen. Good to see I may have been wrong.

Oh, and Starbuck 2.0, Katee Sackhoff, is very interested in the role of Deena Pilgrim, the female lead.
Well she looked the part on BSG.

She looks the part in this case, too (although she's a bit tall).|

Read.
The.
Rest.
Of.
Powers.
Now.
I hardly EVER recommend comic series, but this series and Invincible have been cooking with gas for a while. The third I would recommend is Ex Machina.

Recently I sorted all the comics I'd bought since august, and there were only 2 issues of Powers in the entire pile. A good book, but it comes out so infrequently anymore that I find it hard to be excited about.
That said, A TV version might be entertaining.

Doomtastic 50 SS/Inv Brute
Ceus 50 Eng/Kin Corr

My favorite title, Astro City, is the same way. I've been waiting for the collected version of the second half of the "current" (laughable term if there ever was one) arc for around three years now.

I'm excited about this. I've quit collecting the monthly comic, but intend on catching up via trade paperback once the current arc is collected. It's a big letdown that Bendis has let Powers slip due to all the other work he's doing for Marvel, but I'm still excited about the possibility of a Powers show.

Bendis announced the TV adaptation of his Eisner-winning, creator-owned cops 'n' capes series is a go:
