What Is It? The Pulse was a comic series written by Brian Michael Bendis and focusing on the people who worked for a weekly section of The Daily Bugle, a section that focused entirely on superheroes. The series starred Jessica Jones, who was once a superhero herself named Jewel, as well as a private investigator. Also working on The Pulse were veteran reporter Ben Urich, who has a long association with Daredevil (he was played in the film by Joe Pantoliano) and Kat Farrell, who dislikes being forced to cover superheroes, who she refers to as Capes. The series also featured Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson and editor in chief Joe Robertson, plus Jessicas superhero boyfriend, Luke Cage. How To Do It Right? A series like The Pulse isnt likely to do as well in comics, but for TV, a series that reports on different superhero encounters could be great fun. And theres some groundwork laid already, with ABC having passed on A.K.A. Jessica Jones. Unused story ideas could be adapted for The Pulse, and superheroes could easily be reported on from a distance. That way, you can get away with working on a TV budget. Story elements like Jessicas former superhero life clashing with her new life, Kats dislike of Capes, and Bens connection with Daredevil could be handled in fun, small ways. Showcasing the fall-out from superhero movies would be interesting, much like the short film Item 47. But the real challenge would be The Pulses connection to The Daily Bugle. As Sony owns the film rights to the Bugle as part of Spider-Man, that could pose problems. Ideally, some guest appearances from J.K. Simmons reprising his iconic performance as Jameson would be incredible, but that may just be a pipe-dream. If Marvel and Sony could come to an agreement about this, thatd be a great opportunity to build on Marvels cinematic universe.
