From Kansas.com:

  • Sci-Fi’s Painkiller perfect match for star

From Comic Book Resources:

  • Bringing Painkiller Jane to the small screen
    “‘If you guys are familiar with the comic, it’s a little bit of the comic, it’s a little bit of X-Files thrown in with a little bit of madness,’ said [co-creator Jimmy] Palmiotti of the new series.”
