The original Image series of Powers is amongst my all time favourite comics book stories. In my opinion alongside the first 30 issues or so of Ultimate Spiderman it is the best stuff Bendis has ever written and it was also a time when Oeming was satisfied being an artist before becoming a writer as well (not that he is a poor writer - I just think he is an amazing artist).
Whether a TV version would live up to my expectations or for that matter get past a pilot which seems increasingly difficult for genre shows these days is another matter. Powers could really work well as it has strong elements of the classic buddy cop shows and the superhero elements are treated with real intelligence.
Journeyman was a clever show with a decent cast but it never really found an audience and never lasted long but that happens to many great shows (Firefly anyone!) FX is an interesting channel to take it though as they are a reputation for taking risks so maybe this will happen!
