Margaret Cho Writes a Comic
'Last Hero Standing' features, what else, a stand up hero
For anyone in that weird cross section of humanity that enjoys Margaret Cho and superhero comics, this next item of news is sure to bring nirvana to your soul.
Cho is doing a comic book called Last Hero Standing, a riff on the Last Comic Standing reality TV show, I guess.
Here's the info:
Cho has joined up with Märchen Dreamfaktory's Creative Director, Tony Mark, to create a graphic novel. With a working title of Last Hero Standing, the comic will follow the exploits of super heroine Misty, an aspiring comic and the only super hero to survive an all-out attack from the super villains.
"Margaret's fans will definitely recognize her edgy humor," says Mark. "I think the premise gives her a lot of room to express herself in her own voice, but also the freedom to have fun in a way she never has before."
Utilizing the in-house talents of Art Director Gary Laib and artist Chris Ewald, Märchen Dreamfaktory plans to have the graphic novel on shelves by early 2009.

I guess I'm one of those who does fall within that weird cross section. I've been a fan of Cho's comedy for years and will really be interested in seeing her take on both super-heroes and stand-up from the inside.
