Super-Powered Revenge Christmas
« on: March 29, 2012, 10:16:13 AM »
Holy cow! Something in the book/other stuff section! So far down on the page that most folks will never see it!

Anyway...

Bill's just announced a Kickstarter project to make a graphic novel out of his play from last year-
SUPER-POWERED REVENGE CHRISTMAS!

To quote Bill:
Quote
SUPER-POWERED REVENGE CHRISTMAS is a graphic novel using classic Christmas characters as the basis for an assembled superteam who fight off a conspiracy of powerful villains.  It's a comedy retcon of Christmas itself!  The story brings the world of pop-culture Christmas characters -- think Rudolph, the Grinch, and even those beloved people from "It's a Wonderful Life" -- into the universe of comic book superheroes.

 The play got rather good reviews in Minneapolis last year when it was shown, but I'm unaware of any previous Play/comic book synergy so who knows how that will translate? It's a Kickstarter thing, so throw in a few bucks if you so desire.

I was thinking that Kickstarter could be used by Rifftrax to fund the production of some long-time most wanted Rifftrax that they have been afraid to do because of a fear of low sales.  I am thinking of films like Dune, Super Mario Brothers, or Billy Jack.

Just set the goal to whatever the break even point is for a Rifftrax.  That way there is no risk for them and all the sales after that would be gravy.

Did anyone get this and have thoughts?  I was mad that I found out about this too late to order.  I hope it will be available to the public by next Christmas.
