Models Inc.
Marvel is releasing their first issue of Models, Inc., a mini-series that unites supporting Marvel Entertainment characters, and places them into new fashion-driven starring roles. Now there's reason for you to join your boyfriends at the comic book section.
On the runway, you'll find Millicent Collins, more widely known as Millie the Model. Janice Dickinson's got nothing on Millie - She's Marvel's first supermodel!
And Patsy Walker, the alternate ego of Hellcat. You might remember her on the Avengers, as Marvel's answer to Catwoman.
Even Mary Jane Watson, the model turned actress turned wife of Peter Parker!
So here's the premise: a young set designer is murdered during New York Fashion Week, a case that requires more delicate hands than the usual scruffy heroes of Marvel Entertainment. What to do, what to do.
Enter an all-women team to solve the mystery under the guidance of Tim Gunn of Project Runway. Like Charlie's Angels trapped in the ANTM universe. Random, but I loves it!
In the issue's second story, Gunn is even paneled jumping into Iron Man's suit of armor to save a fashion exhibition from evildoers!!!
Personally, I'm a DC Comics-Vertigo fan. And normally, I dislike anything Marvel-produced... But this is one series I'm going to follow because the story line is the most trippy, random and whimsical thing I've ever heard to be published into a comic book! I'd get it just to see Tim Gunn in an Iron Man suit! What do you think?
