NYCC 2014: Brian Michael Bendis Talks About the upcoming 'Powers' TV Show

Oddly enough, I'm pretty excited for this show...

Also whenever I see Bendis I can't unsee Hank from BR BA.

I don't know anything about Powers, and I don't own a Playstation, but I'm happy to see comic book shows that incorporate the actually writers of the comics into the process of making the show. Part of the reason I thought the Flash was so good was that it Geoff Johns helped make it.

I'm surprised Bendis can work on this show and still write all the comics he does, it's very impressive.

You have to own a gaming system to see the show? That's a fail...

"No one wanted to see it until I was like 'you might not see it', now they're all like 'I wanna see it'. Nerds."

Hahaha oh, Bendis.

@captainmarvel4ever: ooooh, I'm envious of what you have to discover. If you enjoy noir, crime, and superpower stuff you really need to read this. Consistently one of the best books. 6 hardcovers collecting most of the series are available:) if you liked Gotham central, stumptown, the Parker series, you must give this a go.

Awesome interview, Tony, I am super excited for this. If Bendis compares it to the shield, that bodes excessively well. Who knows, if it does well (and I really hope it does), we may eventually see United States of murder on the screen, too;)

@barstoolprophet: I have no plans of reading the series, I'm just happy that comic writers are getting more involved.

@barstoolprophet: I had to gush about UNITED STATES when we finished the interview.
