FEMALE FORCE: STEPHENIE MEYER

Bluewater Productions has announced that, in time for the Nov. 20 theatrical release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, it is producing two versions of a biography comic on author Stephenie Meyer.

Female Force: Stephenie Meyer provides readers two options: a standard 22-page version and a double-sized collector's edition that contains a variety of extras.

"We get to turn the tables on Meyers and she becomes the featured protagonist," said Bluewater's president Darren G. Davis. "And we are going to tell her story in a very fun, respectful and unique way."

The comic, written by Ryan Burton examines Meyer's rise to popularity, her Twilight saga novels, the launching of the movie franchise and her future plans. According to Burton, a very recognizable and iconic vampire will serve as the story's narrator.

"It's an equally strange and great feeling to write about an author of this magnitude, especially in a format that's near and dear to my heart. I think it's brilliant that Stephenie Meyer's story will be read by both fans of her work, and fans of the comic book medium," Burton said.

The 40-page collector's edition will include the history of Forks, the Washington peninsula town where her stories take place, as well as other bonus material not found anywhere else. It will cost $6.99.

The title is being drawn by Dave Macneil, with a cover by Vinnie Tartamella.
