Books / Nerd No, This Is It
Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 3:09 PM
From Publisher's Weekly and offered without comment:
Apparently Michael Jackson was working on a comic book for years with friend (and son of Deepak) Gotham Chopra and now Random House’s Villard imprint is prepping to release the fruits of this seemingly unlikely collaboration. The book, Fated, is about a Jackson-esque pop icon named Gabriel Star whose fame has left him isolated and emotionally cut-off. After a suicidal swan dive from his hotel one night, Star survives only to see his celebrity grow and discover that he’s becoming, per the publisher, “something not quite human.”

And it tastes like 3rd rate pop-culture mixed with the smell of cash and necrophilia.
Ew.
