FX Orders Pilot for Bendis and Oeming Comic ‘Powers


If you listened closely late Friday night, you could hear a boisterous roar from the message board of comic writer, Brian Michael Bendis after news Senior Vice President of Media Relations at the FX and Fox Cable Networks tweeted a pilot has been ordered for Powers, a drama following two homicide detectives in a world inhabited by super powered beings.

Powers is based off the comic series by Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers, Takio) and artist Mike Avon Oeming (Thor, Mice Templar, Takio) who launched the series in 2000 through Image Comics and moved the comic over to Marvel’s creator-owned Icon imprint in 2006.

An all-star crew is behind Powers television show, which bodes well for those already anticipating the pilot. Chic Eglee left The Walking Dead writing staff to become showrunner. He’s also worked on Dexter and The Shield. Michael Dinner, directed pilots for Sons of Anarchy and Justified will executive produce and direct the ordered pilot. Sony will co-produce with the FX Network.

We here at BuzzFocus are thrilled at the news and are happy for Bendis and Oeming. Both creators have grown with every issue and story arc. Oeming’s art in particular was green in the start but it didn’t take him long to shape into one of today’s most exciting storytellers. As for Bendis, while he has been a mainstay in Marvel’s mainstream books for several years, Powers is the one creator-owned book he has continued to write through it all, always pushing the edge and merging his love of super heroes and detective noir stories. Despite an irregular publishing schedule, Powers has remained one of the best comics on the racks for over 11 years.
