Sony Taps Powers Comic For PlayStation 4 Programming Content
Sony's first reported foray into exclusive programming for the PlayStation 4 is a TV series based on the Powers comics.
Sony Pictures Television is producing the show, involving a cop who investigates crimes involving super powers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it will "likely" consist of 10 one-hour episodes. Comic series creator Brian Michael Bendis and writer Charlie Huston are involved.
The show was previously in development by the FX network since 2011.

Our Take:
While not overly impressive, Sony's first step seems to be at least targeted at the stereotypical PlayStation audience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
