Hello once again! This is Brian Michael Bendis, executive producer of the PlayStation Original Series Powers and co-creator of the comic book series the show is based on.

The two week countdown for Season 2 begins (premiering May 31), and I’m back with some great news for the PlayStation community. We’re granting PlayStation Plus members free access to the first issue of the Powers comic book series! And a free PlayStation Theme for all!

Free First Issue of Powers

Here’s how to access and start reading the storyline that inspired this year’s season:

Visit Docs for PlayStation’s Powers page by clicking here. Sign in using your PlayStation Network ID. Redeem the comic book at PlayStation Store when directed. Re-visit the Docs for PlayStation Powers page and read away!

I hope you like the story that started it all and the fascinating take Powers brings to crime noir fiction, starring detectives Deena Pilgrim and Christian Walker, who are tasked with solving crimes done by and done against superheroes.

Free Powers Theme

Also, for those lovely PlayStation owners out there, we didn’t want you to walk away empty handed. Visit PlayStation Store to download your PS4 or PS3 Theme showcasing our beautiful Powers cast and the unique heroes that occupy the Powers universe.

And don’t forget! Powers Season Two premieres on PlayStation Store May 31 in the United States and Canada and is free to stream with your PlayStation Plus membership. And just a quick note to our Canadian friends that Season 1 will also be available on May 31, also free to active PlayStation Plus members.

See you soon!
