'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Comedienne's Second TV Show Canceled This Year
Painkiller Jane premieres April 13
Painkiller Jane, SciFi's new series based on the comic by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, will premiere April 13 at 10:00 p.m. The series will focus on the titular character (played by Kristanna Loken) a woman who can regenerate from any injury, but still feels pain. She hunts Neuros, humans with super-mental powers, for a secret agency.
Palmiotti, who is writing at least one episode and directing another, says the series will differ somewhat from the comic book, and that each episode will be self-contained, although a larger story arc will be present throughout the series. Twenty-two episodes of the series were ordered last fall.
I like the "self-contained" episode idea, as it makes it possible for people to enjoy it who might not have been watching from the beginning.
