Renewed for a second season last May, the new season will premiere on the PlayStation Network on May 31. If you still need to check out Powers and don't have a PlayStation Network subscription, the pilot is available for free on YouTube and the remaining episodes are available on Crackle. Production values appear to have been increased for the second season which was something many critics highlighted as a negative element of season one.
In discussing Powers at the recent Emerald City Comic-Con, comic book creator Brian Michael Bendis stated, "
Every aspect of the show has gotten better. The second season will focus on the 'Who Killed Retro Girl?' storyline from the comic and will really open up the world of Powers. Everywhere the show goes will present viewers with something they've never seen on other shows."
The man formerly known as Diamond struggles to cope with the death of Retro Girl only to be awaken and be confronted by the sight of Calista adorned in Retro Girl's costume and exhibiting similar powers.
