Powers, the tv show?

Powers is a crime procedural comic book (by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming) set in a fictional world with superhumans called ‘Powers’.  The comic book focused on the investigation of superhero and supervillain cases by Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, members of a special homicide division called ‘Powers’.  Originally published by IMAGE Comics, the book later moved to Marvel Comics as part of their Icon Imprint.  A television show based on the comic book is set to debut on the Playstation Network in December 2014, the first of PSN’s original programming.  The cast of the show includes:

It was recently revealed that Shartlo Copley is set to play Christian Walker, while Michelle Forbes will play Retro Girl.

I haven’t regularly bought comic books in over a year, but when I was buying them, I found Powers to be quite enjoyable.  The idea of a police procedural-which is still enjoying popularity on the small screen-mixed with superheroes-which are hugely popular pretty much everywhere-is a perfect idea for tv.  I can’t wait to see how the show turns out.
