    Alright, well when "reality TV" hosts or whatnot start penning "reality comics" I'm giving up on the genre for good, on principle.

    No shit. All these years working in bookstores and I never realized that that Gerard Way wrote Umbrella Academy.

    Oh Hell Yes, writing comics is the toss-away famewhore moneygrab we imagine it as.
    Example. J. Love Hewitt's book is about to drop too, and all she had to do was bat those... eyes... at her comic-guy. The thing gets automatic approval no question.
    If you see LA/Hollywood Craigslist Creative postings, you can see that comics are the new script pitch.
    Definitely not for the love of the medium. True comic fans like Kevin Grevioux, Nic Cage, and the late David Carradine aside, publishers get stars and dollars in their eyes just as quick as any studio. And anybody, actor or shmoe, would love the words "published author" behind their name... picture-books like comics or children's books provide that easier than 1,000-page novels.

    Well, these are all almost certainly vanity projects (except for Brea Grant's perhaps, as she lacks the fame to pull this off, so it's likely to be more genuine). That being said, if there's a good story to be found in any of them, I won't be averse to checking it out. Sure, most celebrities should stick to their forte in the long run, but not every actor/actress is a one-trick pony.

    Just like to point out that Gerard Way went to the School of Visual Arts to study comic books and cartooning before the band thing. SVA has a great program, Harvey Kurtzman, Will Eisner taught there and I believe Art Speigleman and Gary Panter are still do.

    @Grey_Area: Having said that, I don't think it matters if he did or didn't, just so long as the work stands up on its own merits.

    And yes, it definitely does.

    I'd much rather see celebrities writing comic books then comic book writers trying to be celebrities (see: Frank Miller, Satn Lee, Mark Millar.)

    Umbrella Academy is a brillant book. If you haven't read it pick up either trade. I also liked the only issue of OTC I found at my comic book store.

    @Dash_Stryker: It's like this: I never heard of Adrian Pasdar before Heroes, but when I go to online forums, people go: "OMG, it's Pasdar from that [dramas I never saw]. Awesome."

    I also never knew of John Lithgow before 3rd Rock, and is surprised to learn his forte is playing dangerous mentally-unstable characters.

    And Tyrese was in both Transformers movies, so he's already pretty famous.

    @Dash_Stryker: Really, my point is, if you go to sites with as many TV, book and movie buffs as io9, you can expect to see people get excited over names you don't recognize.

    I have to say, a rare miss for the lovely Ms. Day in my humble opinion. It feels like the humor in the rushed production scenario was the part that was actually rushed. #feliciaday
