comickal: Ultra TV?

My, oh, my.

Eye goes for 'Ultra,' 'Way'
"Joan Of Arcadia" creator Barbara Hall is back at CBS, which has greenlit a pilot from her based on the comicbook "Ultra." [...] "Ultra," from CBS Paramount Network TV, revolves around a female superhero who must contend with saving the world while pursuing a life as a single girl in the city. In the comicbook, which parodies celeb magazines, Ultra's alter ego, Pearl Penalosa, is a semi-icon who graces billboards advertising popular products.

Hall, whose other credits include "Judging Amy," will exec produce the pilot; David EngelDavid Engel and David AlpertDavid Alpert are co-exec producers....


This could be very very cool. I wonder how they'll cast it?

There's a little bit of discussion on the topic in the Image Comics forum, but nothing particularly substantial.
