Super Real Graphics dropped of a note to let us know that Super Real will return this summer with a new series climax, as well as the complete series graphic novel.
I had a chance to check out a couple issues of this series a couple of years ago, and for those into reality television and super heroes, with an indie bent, this series might just be for you.
SUPER REAL: CAST CHANGE SPECIAL – July
48 pages, B&W, mature readers, $6.99
Our reality show cast were promised million dollar payouts for participation, but now a bold change to the show’s format via a controversial new cast member has them reeling… If their fifteen minutes of fame, and cash reward are cut short, will anyone survive?!?
It’s all out war in this brand new super-sized conclusion to the popular independent series that mashes-up pop culture with comic book mayhem, and features a character inspired by the most popular man on Earth – Barack Obama, who completes the book’s trinity of Presidential likenesses (with Bush and Cheney already in place as the show’s producers)!
This is not a marketing stunt dear readers, this is the only conclusion our tale could possibly have!! Don’t miss it!!!
