Are you up to the test!?

Did you know that along with Virgin Megastores, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Holidays and all the rest of them, there is now Virgin Comics? Neither did I until about a week ago. I saw something on the net about it and moved on without really thinking about it. Giving it a closer look the other day I can confirm that old Branson has now put his mark on the comics world

Now you'd think old beardy features being involved with comics would bother me. But looking at the projects they've got coming up im quite interested to see their titles. It's not the usual super hero affair and at the very least it might stir up the big names in the industry.

Here's a link to their site, I'll probably bang it in my geeky links as I'll want to keep an eye on it. There's also a free downloadable PDF of the Virgin Comics issue 0, I have a very ''owt for nowt' outlook on life, so I like this immensely.

What do you reckon? Good thing, bad thing? You can't help but wonder where it's going to end for the Virgin franchise. Virgin Condoms? Im sure the irony would be lost on one of those brainstorming groups and just think of the headlines 'Virgin feels a prick', that'd make my day.
