Tommy Taylor is the young, Harry Potter-ish hero of an extremely popular series of children's books.

Tom Taylor is the now adult inspiration for the character, and the son of the missing author. He makes a living on the convention circuit. He's polite to his fans, but he's uncomfortable living in the shadow of his father's creation--the young "him" who never existed.

But Tom is more fictional than he realizes.

Tom's life quickly becomes much more complicated.

This looks like a promising series, especially if you're a book nerd (like I am). The first issue is only $1 for 32 pages, so it's worth the look!

Mike Carey and Peter Gross together again. I am so tempted to pick this up!

Do it do it do it! Even if you decide not to stick around for more, the first issue is only a buck. I assure you, there's at least $1 worth of entertainment between the front and back cover.

To bad it's DC, this guy and Patsy Walker could share stories. Then the could be visited by the real Christopher Robin (or his ghost, I dont know if he's still alive) and listen to his take on the matter.

I've been interested in this series since I've heard of it, but having the Books of Magic artist drawing it is seriously going to wig me out. I know it's supposed to be a Harry Potter analog but I'm definitely seeing Tim Hunter...

As Tim predates Harry, that's as it should be, no?

That's a nice bit of Lampshade Hanging (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LampshadeHanging) right there with the Tim Hunter and Worse Witch references thrown in.

Yay, the Worst Witch!
I used to absolutely adore those books.

A year or two ago, I went to see a production of "Women of Troy", and was delighted to find that the Queen was played by the marvellous Kate DuchĂȘne, late of the "Miss Hardbroom" role.

I always shunned that wanky fanboy idea that she would make a great couple with Snape. Snape is the pale, ripoff imitation of her. She would OWN his ARSE.

I really don't remember. May have to go do some, um, research though I know my copies of the books went up into the loft a long time since.

Though I'm still supporting Snape. *waves flag*

Hmm, that is an intriguing start. Is he going to end up being the "real" tommy taylor after all I wonder? Gonna keep an eye on this, it might be something I'd want to pick up in trade.

Oo, looks interesting. And apologetic Count Ambrosio is awh.

It's reminding me a bit of the April-origin story in the the Mirage Vol.3 Turtles, but since I never got to read where that went, that's no problem!

I saw this at my LCS, considered picking it up, realized I only had $5 and could only get what I came there for. I should have checke dthe price, because now I really wish I had it...

Looks interesting. Do you know who the cover artist is?
