Devil’s Due sent out a press release earlier this week about Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia being on hand this weekend at the New York Comic Con to announce a new project. Tonight, Variety reports that the project is called Rest, a comic book miniseries featuring a character that looks like Ventimiglia:
The four issues in the series will revolve around the dangers of staying awake as a man is drawn into a conspiracy between a malevolent pharmaceutical company and the U.S. government.
The design of the main character will be inspired by Ventimiglia’s likeness.
Mark Powers, who penned the comicbook “Drafted” and edited “X-Men,” will write the issues based on a story by Mike O’Sullivan.
Ventimiglia is scheduled to not only be at the Devil’s Due panel on Saturday, but will also be signing autographs at their booth at various times throughout the show.
Let me guess, he’s always wanted to write a comic book and had these really great ideas!

That Just sounds stupid, or is it just me?

Is it just me, or was anyone else hoping the link on Newsarama was for Diamond Dallas Page and Milo working together?
That I would LOVE to see. Sounds better than this.

How is this news? The only connection is that they’re gonna use his likeness?
Why don’t we see these announcements every other month from Marvel? (Greg Land, newuniversal, etc.)
