Comic book characters become entangled with the real world in a new Image Comics miniseries created by Glen Brunswick (Non-Humans, Jersey Gods) and Viktor Bogdanovic called Reality Check.
Willard Penn is a struggling comic book artist with an unexpected hit and a very unexpected problem. After Dark Hour, his comic about an unlucky-in-love superhero sells out, Willard is hit with a bad case of writer’s block — and his creation is refusing to sit still and wait for it to pass…literally.
“One of the side benefits of being forced to help Dark Hour hook up with a woman is it forces Willard to re-engage with the world as well,” stated Brunswick in an interview with Comic Book Resources. “So in that sense he's helping himself to connect with other people instead of solely focusing on his creative endeavours. It causes Willard to re-evaluate his life.”
Reality Check #1will be in stores on September 4, 2013 and can be pre-ordered now from the July issue of Previews.
