ASPEN COMICS FIRST LOOKS

FIRST LOOK: IDOLIZED #0

Written by: David Schwartz.

Art by: Micah Gunnell.

Covers by: Micah Gunnell, Joe Benitez, photo.

Description: Aspen Comics presents its first super-hero series, Idolized! Welcome to the mind-bending new comic book series about a TV show where super-powered teens and 20-somethings are competing for the ultimate dream-prize: a guaranteed spot in that world's top super-group, The Powered Protectors. The chance of winning offers fame, fortune, massive endorsement deals and, of course, a chance to actually save the world. Kids who dream of being worshipped as the next great, iconic hero would be falling all over themselves to get on - and hopefully even win - the show.

Against this backdrop, Idolized is the story of a girl with fledgling superpowers and a dark past, who seeks revenge, and ultimately finds redemption, over the course of competing in this televised superhero competition show. It's True Grit meets American Idol...with capes!
