sees his real purpose and engineers an accident to dispose of him for good. Comic book The show also spurred a short-lived comic book of the same name, published by Continuity Comics in 1988–1989, illustrated by Neal Adams with stories by J. Michael Straczynski, who was also the series story editor, writing half the episodes and providing stories or outlines for many more. DVD release The official Captain Power page on Facebook announced in September 2011 that the complete series would be released on DVD. The complete series was released on a 4-disc DVD set in region 1 in December. The set contains all 22 episodes plus much bonus material including interviews and commentaries with cast members. Reboot: Phoenix Rising In September 2012, Ain't It Cool News announced that series creator Gary Goddard was in the process of reviving the series. The new series project, titled Phoenix Rising, uses the original rising phoenix symbol of the Captain Power franchise, though the motif has been slightly altered. The series would be a one-hour weekly drama, looking at both sides of the post-apocalyptic conflict, starting with the origins of characters (which were only touched upon halfway through the first season). No networks or cable channels have been announced as being a part of the project, nor have any casting choices been revealed. On board with the project are writer/producers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, who have been tapped to develop the revival/reboot of the franchise. Stephan Martinière was heading up the conceptual art for the show. A 2014 interview revealed that, despite delays, the revival was still in the works. An announcement teaser for the new series was uploaded to YouTube in July 2016, with the show making an appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con. Video game There is a video game for Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, published by Box Office Software in 1987 for the PC, and 1988 for Commodore 64.
