Serie Powerless

Pues otra de superhéroes, pero aquí las historias no giran en torno a los chicos de las mallas y de los superpoderes, sino que los protagonistas son los trabajadores de una compañía de seguros que debe hacer frente a los numerosos daños colaterales que provoca una batalla entre metahumanos. La idea es muy similar a la que ya llevó Marvel a los cómics en la miniserie Control de Daños, donde los protagonistas eran los trabajadores que debían limpiar los daños tras la batalla. Después de tantos años dando vueltas a la idea de llevarlos al cine, la compañía rival DC se les ha adelantado.
