This thing is real...
In the ongoing quest to lure readers back to comic shops, stuff like this is not helping. From the press release:
There will be four exclusive classic collectible homage covers for the digital release of "15 Minutes: Honey Boo Boo" on ITunes, Kindle, Wowio and My Digital Comics released on Weds, Jan 9th for $1.99 each.
I'm not sure I understand how digital comic covers are "collectible." You can't bag and board them, and all it takes is one person downloading and sharing to create a perfect replica. Maybe Honey Boo Boo can be fooled this easily.
The ITunes exclusive will feature Honey Boo Boo in a homage to Sensation Comics #1 - featuring the 1st appearance of Wonder Woman. Jonathan Woodward drew the cover in conjunction with Cosmic Ray Gun.
The Kindle exclusive will feature the tiny tot in an homage to the 1st appearance of Supergirl in Action Comics #252. The cover was done by Michael Troy.
The Wowio and My Digital Comics covers by Michael Troy will feature Alana as a superhero with Glitzy the pig!
What did Wonder Woman and Supergirl ever do to you? Regardless, are all of the covers going to be at the same level of quality? Because I love how the guy in the lower right-hand corner appears to be playing "pull my finger," and the stereotypical black gentleman on the left is apparently recoiling in horror at the prospect of gaseous release.
Listen, I can respect Honey Boo Boo's wish to be a comic-book superhero, because all of us want that as a kid. If somebody makes a comic for her personally, that's a nice gesture. But these things are best done privately - there's a reason I'd prefer grown adults not own any images of me in my Boba Fett Underoos from when I was her age.
And if anybody gets the smart idea after this to make a comic book of that obnoxious, fat instructor Abby Lee from Dance Moms, I'm going to punch my monitor. Unless it costars Galactus and he eats her.

If you had asked me a year ago if there were any conceivable circumstances in which I would advocate the killing of a child, I would emphatically have said, "No!".
I can't do that anymore without lying to myself.
The guy on the bottom right, it doesn't even look like it's his arm and finger. He's got a third arm!
The guy on the bottom left is like: "Yo, WTF?! I'm gettin the h*ll outta here."
I wish they would put Honey Boo Boo and her mother down permanently. They are awful human - ...I can't even call them human beings.
The only thing I'm surprised by is that Bluewater still exists. Of COURSE they're putting out a Honey Boo Boo comic. If I'd have remembered they were around I'd have predicted this months ago.
Bluewater is The Learning Channel of comics. So this makes perfect sense.
Holy shit. I thought BlueWater Publishing could stoop any lower, get any dumber.
Then they publish a Honey Boo Boo comic. And not only that.. they are releasing it digitally... and somehow releasing collectors covers for each eReader.
Isn't a collector's cover or collector's anything nullified with the infinite supply and copies that digital comics represent?

What the fuck you guys? No, now I'm really upset about this, it's not funny.
Fucking Honey Boo Boo. It's not enough that I burned my television, there is no escape from this crapulent whirlpool of festering garbage and functionally brain-dead cretins, whose every utterance makes me envy the blind and deaf.
Sigh. My face currently resides in my palm.

I have seen this show, once, and I thought at that time that it was yet another stupid reality show starring people I cannot care anything about... Seeing this only confirms the fact that the TV execs that approved this show was smoking weed and popping LSD when they thought it up.

I used to hold a belief that as long as it gets a kid to read, I don't care WHAT they pick up...
...I used to hold that belief...until now.

First of all, what the fuck is a Honey Boo Boo?
Secondly, do I want to know? Is this one of those things I'm better off not being exposed to?

Two questions 1. Have you ever seen Toddlers & Tiaras 2. Do you infact at this very moment have a soul?
I wish I was home so I could post YouTube videos of this kid. She is crazy. However, there is another Toddlers & Tiaras spinoff shown (unless they canceled it) on LOGO called Eden's World (equally batshit). Fun TR fact this Eden Wood will play the role of Alfalfa's love interest Darla in the remake of The Little Rascals.
@GeekGamerGirl I think that means it's the most recent comment.
Also, Village Voice Media Whatever, this comment system is still terrible. So, you know fix it, maybe?

@GeekGamerGirl Was the person who convinced TLC executives to make a Honey Boo Boo show associated with any sort of dark cosmic deity? And was there massive amounts of cocaine involved?

So, quick break down. Honey Boo Boo was originally on a show called Toddlers & Tiaras (the series follows the families of contestants in child beauty pageants and it's batshit crazy)Now because she became a fan favorite she has her own show called Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, the series is a show mainly about Alana Thompson (Honey Boo Boo), her parents and elder sisters, and their lives unrelated to pageants. It is a trainwreck.
