IDW Games is at it again. This time, the company is adapting the Powers graphic novel series, created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, into a new line of tabletop games.
The line will include card games, board games, and dice games. Each one is set to focus on different events and characters from the comics. The first launch, Powers: The Card Game, will put players to task to track down and capture a player-controlled super villain within a certain number of rounds. Throughout the game, players must figure out who the villain is, and then find them before the night is over.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Powers franchise leave the funny pages. It was recently adapted into a successful PlayStation-exclusive television show. I guess the indie comic is finally getting some recognition outside of the fanboy world.
Powers: The Card Game is on the horizon. We can expect to see it on store shelves in early 2016.
