Written by Jordan B. Gorfinkel with art by Scott Benfiel, this 6 issue miniseries hits comics shops in August.

MICHAEL MIDAS CHAMPION
w: Jordan B. Gorfinkel
a: Scott Benefiel
Michael Midas was just a regular kid, with a crush on Dani, the prettiest girl on the playground, and getting picked on by Truck, the school bully. But as he got older, things changed for Michael — he grew up and, by laying off the nachos and working out, he got strong…REALLY strong. Too bad Truck did too. Now when Truck snaps and Dani’s in danger, will Michael Midas be able to step up and become the hero he always dreamed he could be…can he be CHAMPION? Wrapping a classic fairy tale in comic book clothing, MICHAEL MIDAS CHAMPION is a story of action, suspense, and romance. Get in on the ground floor of this exciting new 6-issue miniseries from Jordan B. Gorfinkel (BATMAN, BIRDS OF PREY) and Scott Benefiel (THE INCREDIBLE HULK)!

Looks and sounds cool!
The costume design reminds me of Red Trinity from Flash
The sidekick looks awesome! But I wouldn’t expect anything less from the creator of Birds of Prey.
Looks different. I’m intrigued by the fairy tale element. Curious to see where they are going with it.
Beauty and the Beast or what? What fairytale are we relating to? I’m dumbfounded right now and just see the classic nerd gets the girl thing, where’s the fairy tale, or is that it? Cause that shit happens in real life, minus the superhero element, too bad huh. Art looks nice and vibrant, at 3.99 like all BOOM!, I’ll check out the trade after/if I see some good feedback.
