Splash Page » NYCC: Brian Bendis Confirms Live-Action ‘Powers’ TV Series On FX, Draft Completed [UPDATED!]

Those who follow Bendis's "Powers" comic book series (about cops working in a world populated by superheros) may be interested to learn that Bendis has approved a script for a pilot live-action version of his comic. For those who don't follow the comic (that is only released in trade paperback format), the comic follows two cops, one a former superhero who lost his powers, as they attempt to solve cases in a world where superheros can both help and hinder their investigations. In effect, the story makes superheroes part of the landscape within which Bendis presents a police drama rather than a "superhero" story per se.

The new study takes into account the rebound of the antarctic landmass and the effect on Earth's rotation, as well as changes in the Earth's gravitational profile. They don't however, anticipate this happening for several hundred years... unless things go downhill faster than expected.

New Scientist presents an article that reminds us of the non-renewable side of renewable resources. For example, although solar energy is free, the materials to make solar cells are in limited supply. As a result, any plan to increase dependence on renewable resources must take into account their non-renewable nature.
