POWERS is a series from ICON Comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming. The lead characters, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, are homicide detectives specializing in "powers-related" cases - cases involving people with superpowers. It's one of my favorite series, and I've been trying to get people to read it for years.
And now those people have no excuse. They can read it daily for free. The first page was posted yesterday, so read that one before you read the second one (obviously).
I cite Brian Bendis as one of my favorite writers and biggest influences. His dialogue is second to none in comics, in the vein of playwright/screenwriters Aaron Sorkin and David Mamet.
Speaking of Sorkin, his new series, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP, premieres on NBC on Monday, September 18th, at 10 PM. It stars, among others, Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford, and Amanda Peet (I ask you, where is Joshua Malina? I'm still waiting to hear who he'll be playing, but you know it's coming...). Also, if you want to read the pilot, don't bother asking me, because I don't have a copy and I would never e-mail it to you even if I did. It's not fantastic, and doesn't have everything you like about Aaron Sorkin. Wink. Wink. Wink.
Go read comics now.
It's been a month! Post something new! :-(
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about Jared and Janette getting engaged?
Have you ever read the comic Bone? You probably have, since you're like, the ultimate geek (Don't get mad, it's a compliment :D ) but if you haven't, you should. I read it in like, three days. And the book is huge.
ReplyDeleteIt's been well over a month at this point. Sorry, Sara...
ReplyDeleteI have never read BONE, Janette, though I have wanted to for a long time. You're the second person to tell me to read it. One more and I'll be forced to... (don't ask, I'm just a weirdass)
Go read Bone!!
