Joony Tuff, a new indie superhero comic created by Cleveland-based David Bloodsaw, riffs on popular culture, lifestyles, current events and political personalities. The first issue of the
series will be released in early November.
's8220;Joony Tuff turns the mantra of power and responsibility on its head,'s8221; says Bloodsaw. 's8220;This young-slack-turned-superhero discovers that with power comes money, hoochies,
bling and fresh rides. Bloodsaw will update his blog (at http://daveblud.blogspot.com) with the exact release dates and purchase information.
Bloodsaw created Joony Tuff partly out of his experience of trying to sell a script to Hollywood. When he realized the numerous obstacles that stood in his way, he says, 's8220;I just
took the same hardships and applied them to a young man trying to become a celebrity superhero.'s8221;
The first Joony Tuff mini-series features the origin of Joony and introduces readers to the core characters 's8211; Ghetto Pain Man, Fast Girl, Glorious Man and Confused Suburban Nazi
Boy. Bloodsaw subverts the superhero genre by eliminating the 's8220;typical superhero fanfare's8221; and replaces with an exciting, edgy take on the world. Described by Bloodsaw as
's8220;Chris Rock on paper,'s8221; Joony Tuff will combine multiple subplots to create its satirical view of the world.
's8220;The books are aimed at avid comic readers, but I want to target mature, non comic-book readers as well,'s8221; says Bloodsaw. 's8220;I want to help bridge the gap between people
looking for good stories and comic books with good stories. Comic books aren's8217;t just superheroes jumping around in tights. There are many great stories out there of all different
type of genres.'s8221;
