Comic Books and Comic-Con

In light of my recent trip to the Chicago Comic-Con over the weekend I've decided to highlight some actresses who have channeled their creativity into the comic book industry.

• Rosario Dawson - She's a self-proclaimed comic book fan and released O.C.T. (Occult Crimes Taskforce) with plans on adapting it into a film or web series one day.

• Rashida Jones - It doesn't surprise me that Jones decided to enter the comic book arena, she's a smart woman (she did graduate from Harvard) and the series she co-created is about an heiress turned spy. Frenemy of the State comes out soon via Oni Press.

• Hilarie Burton - The One Tree Hill star posted a video on her Southern Gothic Productions site about her upcoming graphic novel plans. All I know is that Burton and her partner, writer Nicholas Gray, seemed really excited about the endeavor. Head over to their site and watch the video yourself.

• Charlyne Yi - In an interview with Women & Hollywood, the Paper Heart star revealed her enthusiasm to make a comic book. Whatever the topic I'm sure it will be something I'd like to read.

And while I'm on the subject of comic books here's a short video of Justin Chung, illustrator for Star Wars, DC Comics and Marvel Comics (among other things) plugging ReelArtsy.com
