Models Inc.

Models Inc. by Paul Tobin and Vicenc Villagrassa consists of issues 1 through 4 of Models Inc.

Being a fan of the Project Runway show and seeing Tim Gunn on the cover, I had to give this comic book a shot, specially since it is written by Paul Tobin, a writer I like on Marvel Adventures Spider-man. I mean how can you say no to "Tim Gunn in the Iron Man suit". Well, the Tim Gunn story is just a back up for the first issue, and it is actually the best story out of the 4 issues. It was funny to see Tim Gunn talk about fashion in comic books and it was awesome seeing him take on the Iron Man suit to take the day. A fun story.

The four issues themselves are not that great. It is fashion week and several models are doing photo shoots. One photographer is murdered and Millie the model is the main suspect. There is an annoying cop looking for headlines, a model that is a superhero (don't remember her name), a model dating the Human Torch and a few models trying to learn how to fight. The story is fine, but it was not worth reading. I would have been glad just reading the Tim Gunn back up.
