I’m starting to think the Mayans might have been right because what could be a better harbinger of doom than the announcement Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of Jersey Shore infamy is to be immortalized in his very own comic title. Offhand, I’d guess there are probably a good seven billion people on this planet more deserving of the four color treatment than Sorrentino but then again I suppose this could be the beginning of a whole new genre of comics: the stupidhero…
Or the beginning of the end.
From Wizard World:
Wizard World Inc. (WIZD.PK) announces Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino along with the Sorrentino family have signed a publishing, development, and appearance deal with Wizard World to create and publish a comic book hero based on Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his family.
The agreement will team Mike Sorrentino, along with his brothers Marc and Frank, sister Melissa, and mother Linda, with Wizard World, the largest Comic Con Tour in North America, spanning a dozen cities and reaching millions of fans every year through its events, social media, digital and PR outreach.
The series of comic books based upon stories by Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his family will be written and drawn by some of the comic book industry’s leading artists and writers. In addition, the Sorrentino family members will be making appearances at several Wizard World conventions to promote their characters and greet the fans in attendance.
“MPS Entertainment and I are thrilled and excited about our new business relationship with Wizard World. I grew up reading comic books and now I get a chance to star in my own. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we are working on,” said Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.
