Powers series!
FX just said goodbye to one badass detective, but it's in the market for another one.
Comics author Brian Michael Bendis said at last week's New York Comic-Con that he's finished a pilot script based on his and Michael Avon Oeming's series Powers. That the project "is in active development" at the cable channel, Bendis tells MTV's Splash Page blog.
ETA: Contains a big SPOILER if you're not caught up on the comic. (Thanks Jess.)
Ooh!
I still need to catch up on that series. The trades are expensive.
AWESOME.
Pretty huge spoiler in there for anyone who hasn't read the books yet, btw.
I wonder what this is referring to:
Bendis sounds optimistic about the prospects for a series, though. He tells Splash Page that he's waiting for notes from FX, but "as long as they don't involve sock puppets and some sort of orgy scene that I'm not interested in, then hopefully it will go in the right direction."
To me it sounds like Farscape, but that didn't begin as a graphic novel so maybe not.

Yeah, I was all what the hell about that. Luckily, that's the last storyline I read.

I was going to comment on the cards you linked to, Tom, but your tagline distracted me.

The alt-text of Rorschach's is the best part.
Pay no attention to the scandalous rumors that people spread about me.
Apparently Peter David got LJ's scans_daily shut down for copyright violation of ToS. And their policy of posting no more than 5 pages from a given comic was supposed to mitigate that, being more of a tease than a satisfaction.
