No, but at the Oni panel in San Diego, probably the next best thing was announced. At the bottom of Comic Book Resources story from the panel was this tidbit:
Finally, James Lucas Jones announced the biggest surprise by playing a clip of Comedy Centrals “The Colbert Report,” in which faux host Stephen Colbert promoted his epic science fiction mary sue novel, featuring lead character Tek Janson. Following the clip, Jones declared, “when I first saw that, I said ‘we have to secure the rights to do the comic book adaption of Stephen Colbert’s Tek Janson.’” Details are still being sorted out with Colbert and his writing staff, but they will be involved with the new series’ development along with a regular comics creative team.
Colbert + comics … what could be better?

I love the Colbert Report – one of the best shows out there right now…
But if that’s all one has to do to get a comic green lit (to not even know you are pitching one), then I think Oni has pretty much hit the bottom.
And what about all the other unpitched ideas that are waiting for a comic book treatment?
David Letterman’s “The Adventures of the Guy Under the Stairs” is long past due.
Jimmy Kimmel’s “Lesbian She-Devils in my Pants”
Bill O’Reilly’s “Falaffal Man”
“Werewolf Blitzer By Night”
C’Mon ONI – the possibilities are ENDLESS!
