Comics to TV/Pain Killer Jane



I just wanted to say to those of you that like to watch TV to check out Pain Killer Jane on the Sci-Fi channel on Friday nights at 10:00. You can check it out here online: I watched the show for the first time April 13, 2007 and I found it to be awesome! Kristanna Loken as Jane Vasco is the star in new action show Painkiller Jane. (The following story is taken from the Comic Book Resources website/ CBR News Team, Editor, Posted: April 10, 2007) — Based on the comic book created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, Painkiller Jane follows the adventures of Jane Vasco (Loken), a kickass heroine with remarkable self-healing powers. Formerly a hardnosed DEA agent, Jane is recruited by a covert government organization tasked with capturing "Neuros" - genetically-enhanced individuals who possess superhuman powers of the mind. During the course of her first investigation with the team, she inexplicably discovers that she too possesses extraordinary abilities - abilities that render her impervious to injury…but not pain. She develops miraculous regenerative powers, healing from injuries that leave her stronger than she had been before. As she continues to work with the government to hunt Neuros, Jane tries to uncover the cause of her own transformation and what - if any - connection she shares with the very people she is pursuing.
Dynamite Entertainment stated, "Whenever a comic book character makes the jump from the stands to the screen, there's always reason to celebrate! We're all going to have our eyes glued to our televisions on April 13th for Jane's big live-action debut on the SCI FI Channel! The stickers were produced by our good friends at the SCI FI Channel, and Dynamite is working to get them in the hands of retailers for the fans. And, if after the series premiere, fans still want more hard-hitting Painkiller Jane action, they should head back to their retailer for the all new Dynamite comic book series, which starts with the specially introductory priced (only a quarter) and will be in stores in time for Jane's SCI FI Channel premiere."
