IDW announced a new, four issue mini-series, titled SuicideGirls, launching in March. The comic is based on the internet sensation of the 2000s, with a website that features tattooed models along with some pretty decent content.The Girls have been a presence at comic conventions for the past few years, leaving many of us wondering, "Why are the SuicideGirls here?" (Not that we were complaining)
SUICIDEGIRLS comic pits an awesome gang of beautiful, tattooed, ladies against the deranged leader of a techno-religious cult, with lots of butt-kicking and witty banter.
The creative team behind the comic features writer Brea Grant, who you may know from her acting on Heroes as well as co-writing the series We Will Bury You (also from IDW), with art by David Hahn and covers by Cameron Stewart, with the stories plotted by Brea Grant, Missy Suicide (one of the SuicideGirls founders) and Steve Niles (of 30 Days of Night fame).
Missy had this to say. "SuicideGirls and comic books are a natural fit. We are huge comic nerds and are thrilled to finally be bringing a book we can be proud of to the fans that have been asking us at conventions for years. We couldn't be more excited to be bringing the adventures of these beautiful modern pin-ups to the genre."
SuicideGirls, the mini series starts in March and each issue will $3.99 for full color, along with variant photo covers featuring SuicideGirls.
