After years of rotting in development hell, Brian Michael Bendis’ superhero detective yarn is joining the FX Network with the ranks of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Damages and Rescue Me.

Short of the adaption hitting a premium cable network like Showtime or HBO, FX is a prime spot for Powers. The network is known for pushing the envelope; so at least the book will be able to maintain it’s noir edge and grittiness.

Wether it’s gonna be animated like Adam Reed’s FX’s animation, Archer is unknown, but if Bendis helms it as a producer and/or writer it’s no doubt going to be good.
