Everything’s Turning Up William Katt

All you haters who thought William Katt’s best days were behind him?basically, his days of starring in Greatest American Hero?you best shut yo’ mouths. We all know he’s guest-starring on Heroes next season, and now, Katt’s got his own comic book company, Catastrophic Comics, whose debut comic Sparks is out today! Here’s a summary from the press release:

Set in 1948, this super-noir thriller follows Ian Sparks, a masked vigilante who discovers the price to pay to become a hero is too high, finding himself in a dark, relentless story about self discovery, heroism, failed lives and redemption.


?My goal for Catastrophic Comics is to tell original stories, with amazing art work, that don?t suck. And I can?t imagine a better book to launch our company with than Sparks. JM and Chris have done a superb job with this gritty book,? commented William Katt.


Sparks was co-created by William Katt and Christopher Folino, the writer/director of the cult comedy film ?Gamers.? Folino penned the series for Sparks while Katt served as the main writer for two of Catastrophic Comics? upcoming titles.


?This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I?m just trying to make sure every panel counts, because, I really don?t want to be known as ?the guy? who bankrupted the Greatest American Hero,? stated Christopher Folino.

You can read the first 10 pages of Sparks over at Newsarama, if you’re so inclined. I only have one question: why not call the company Kattastrophic Komics, dude? It would’ve been so badass!
