Hmmm. Bluewater Productions, the folks who brought you comic biographies of Al Gore, Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and Stephenie Meyer, are set to ship FAME: Robert Pattinson in May. It�s a 32-page comic that will trace the Twilight star�s career and, as the press release says, �introduce fans to the many sides of Pattinson.� Maybe this is just the 34-year-old me talking, but I don�t think this is necessary. For starters, I seriously doubt that diehard fans who scour the Internet 100 times a day will learn anything new in this comic, and who wants to look at a cartoon Pattinson (even if he is kinda hot) when you�re one mouse click away from the real thing?Am I wrong? In Bluewater�s defense, their Stephenie Meyer comic, published in November 2009, has sold out of several printings. But isn�t she more of a mystery at this point than Pattinson? I suppose there will be fanatics who must have everything Rob, and $3.99 isn�t going to break the bank to complete the collection. It could, conceivably, be fun to flip through it and see how accurately they capture his wardrobe and mannerisms. I know it sounds like I�m caving, but I�m not so no one get this for me as a gift, unless you really want to, in which case I�ll accept it, and read it in my office with as much shame as I do the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
What do you think? Unnecessary, but sure to sell out? At least it might introduce new people to the medium, and that�s not a bad thing�
