Since Comic Con started today I wanted to find news from it.  Mostly there was lots of stuff talking about exactly who was going to be there star wise.  Then finally I found a story about Billy Martin from Good Charlotte.

          Martin is going to cowrite as well as create the artwork for the comic to be named Vitriol the Hunter.  I think it sounds interesting because in the article is says it is going to relate to monster myths and be done in a horror style. 

           Artwork by Martin can already be seen on lots of Good Charlotte albums and merch as well as Level 27 Clothing (Martin’s line) and even conceptually in some of GC’s music videos.     I’d  say that music videos are the closest to comic books.   You have to put together a story board and have the story make a progression.  Well I guess you don’t have to in all videos but the ones that GC puts out normally tell a story.

          I tried to look up Brent Allen but could only find links to this same story (or ones basically the same).  Finally on IMDB it linked his name to Brent Allen Caputo.  I can’t tell for sure if it is the same person.  When I search that name it comes back with information on an actor that has mainly done stunts.  I was hoping to find something that would show his background in comics but no such luck.  If anyone knows more information please share!

          My biggest question about this series is if it will be successful or not.  Will people take Martin seriously as a comic or will he just be regarded as a musician stepping outside his boundary?  What do you think?  Will you pick up his comic?

          If you are at Comic Con (I’m seriously jealous of you by the way) you can actually talk to Martin and Allen on Saturday (??? I think that is the right date).  If you are there let me know how it is going/was?
