Powers Siege

Brian Michael Bendis made the rounds last week with two huge announcements. First his comic series, Powers, is currently in development by FX, the channel that brought us excellent television shows such as The Shield, Damages, Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck. The show is being produced by Kevin Falls who previously produced shows like The West Wing and Sports Night. Powers will be directed by Michael Dinner who directed the successful Sons of Anarchy and the Bionic Woman pilot. As for the next volume in the Powers comic series, Bendis says there's enough issues "in the can" to keep the next run on a pretty much regular monthly schedule.

Speaking of comic series, the current event in Marvel comics, Dark Reign, is coming to an end with the final four issue mini-series call The Siege. According to Bendis this mini-series will reunite Iron Man, Captain America and Thor and will eventually bring about the next Avengers status quo. The series will start with a prologue "Siege The Cabal" this December leading into the main series starting in January 2010.
