News that makes you go huh: Bluewater Comics is producing a comic biography of TWILIGHT author Stephenie Meyer, in which the 35-year-old Mormon will do battle against the forces of coffee and Harry Potter. Meyer is the only author included in the Female Force series, which gave the same treatment to Oprah, Sarah Palin and Princess Diana.
Who is this aimed at? Fans of the Twilight series would rather pretend that sparkly vampire Edward is real, and therefore could conceivably fall in love with their mortal selves. Regular comic buyers of my acquaintance, even if they're not still reeling after the Comic-Con '09 invasion, will not be compelled. And let's face it, President Obama being featured in an Amazing Spider-Man bonus story is still cooler.
If this works I will have drastically underestimated the Twilight-branded shit people will buy. (I see a fun Craigslist game!)
