Most times they're shock this stuff comes from comics.

If I wanted to experience old Powers storylines, I'd just go back and re-read my comics. Eh, I’d be fine if it didn’t come out.

But I think their are some comics that are unadaptable like Jessica Jones for example bc of lack of interest & too much cost issues for ABC. Now the Mockingbird idea is interedting along with Scifi Booster Gold. But Spectre, Deadman will never see the time a day. Not sure about Hulk, Blue Bettle, and Raven.

I'll just stop holding my breath when I get excited to see shows like this, or Locke And Key, that never get past the pilot stage. AKA Jessica Jones probably won't even make it this far.

But being FX I think it's got more of a chance. Who knows? The rewrites and re-shooting are probably warranted. Comics don't always translate directly to TV. If they do the rewrites, reshoots and put together a new pilot then you can't say they didn't try to make it work. If this was Fox’s main channel I’d say it wouldn’t have a chance.

Meanwhile more Powers issues finally coming out with issue 8 at the printer!

FX's shows usually start at 10 and only air one hour long show every night (and usually not on Mondays and now the UFC's Ultimate Fighter are going to take all the time on Friday) and two half hour shows (like Sunny and the League being played back to back); there just isn't a lot of space on FX for their original programming (which is the only good part of the network so you think they'd want to ramp it up and have 2-3 hours of it every night). Hopefully once it gets rewritten and reshot it can get picked up. This isn’t really surprising but it is disappointing.
