The NZA Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 how was the WW one? and damn, this show's moving ahead about as fast as the book, which is to say ive not seen a new issue in forever now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I honestly didn't even bother watching the WW pilot. And as for new Powers books, didn't Powers: Bureau #1 just come out last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yes. Yes it did. But he said he hasn't seen a new issue, and unless it was trimmed in fluorescent and being slowly waved 4 inches from his face, this is likely true. Anyone read that, btw?

The NZA Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 true, but they're digi so at least you don't need to fret about holding them yuck yuck wasn't aware of that new one, is that another one-shot or new volume or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 From what I hear, it's kind of a psuedo-reboot. One of those "jumping on point" books, where you'll certainly get more out of it if you know the previous material. All hearsay though, I'd love to hear from someone who actually read it. Where the fuck is JZA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I wonder if the Internet will ever get that failed pilot? We got the failed Wonder Woman one almost immediately. how was the WW one? I wasn't aware that it leaked, so I just downloaded it. I'll report back.

Where the fuck is JZA? Yooouu rang? Haven't actually Read Bureau yet. Powers is one of 2-3 titles I still buy month to month and I haven't been able to get into the city to my store in a while. Plus due to poor distribution I missed out on a few issues from Vol 3 and inadverdently spoiled the shit out of the whole last arc for myself so have torrented the whole run and started from scratch. This is why my facebook feed has been jammed up with Powers Panels and my favourite moments before I realised there were serious spoilers there(assuming I can ever convince anyone to make it through Who Killed Retro Girl? and read on). And Bendis is pretty good with making new jumping on points. Even within 3 volumes I wanna say he approaches every new arc or case with the same vigour freshness(or similar).

alive she cried Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 New Stills From The POWERS TV Series The other day we got our first look at Sharlto Copley (District 9) as Christian Walker and Susan Heyward (The Following) as Deena Pilgrim, and now Sony Pictures has released four new images from their upcoming small-screen take on Brian Michael Bendis' comic series. Follow Mark "RorMachine": By Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 9/23/2014 "Powers," an edgy dramatic series from Sony Pictures Television and inspired by the graphic novel series of the same name, follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Heyward), who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with extraordinary abilities, referred to as “Powers.” Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, Powers asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the only people brave enough to go up against the overpaid, commercialized, superhumans who glide through the sky imposing their power over the crowds below who both worship and fear them.

alive she cried Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Oh yeah, you're right. I just saw the "producers of Breaking Bad" and put two and two together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I didn't know they cast Sharlto Copley. Nice! Jason Patric looked more the part, but Copley has the acting chops and range to make things interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 We got's a trailer. And it's not looking too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah It's really cool to see Sharlto Copley getting the roles he has been getting. I know alot of people look at the A-Team and dismiss it as being just another summer piece of crap, but it really is worth watching JUST for his performance. Same with Elysium. Dude's versatile as fuck. This is looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Behind the scenes look at Powers. This actress playing Pilgrim seems like the real deal. Also, I want that Oeming designed deck of cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 New trailer They've released the first three episodes on the PSN but the first episode is free on youtube. I haven't watched it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The only thing kept me sane through the first eps on offer were Bendis saying 'this is a reimagining' over and over in my head. I'd written a whole bullet-point post about my thoughts but they all came back to one central statement: They've spiked everything that made the book unique to create a tv cop drama that tv viewers will probably find interesting. The only praise I have is for Deena Pilgrim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
