Models, Inc. #1

So Models, Inc was a miniseries originally solicited for February and has finally been rescheduled for August. Only the solicit is out at this time, no cover yet.

MODELS, INC. #1 (of 4)
Written by PAUL TOBIN
Penciled by VICENC VILLAGRASA
Cover by SCOTT CLARK
Variant Cover by PHIL JIMENEZ
Fashion Week is always a hectic time for models, and this year is no exception. Between escaped wolves, robbery attempts, and overly friendly police officers, Toni Turner, Patsy Walker, Jill Jerold, Chili Storm and Millicent (Millie the Model) Collins are testing the limits of their endurance. But when a brilliant young set designer is found murdered with three bullet holes in his back, and Millie proves to be the prime suspect, the models are forced to play detective in order to save one of their own!
* Retailers please note that this issue will contain an ad for Marvel Subscriptions.
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$3.99

I didn't think it was worth posting at first. And then I noticed something had changed.

Here is the original solicit, see if you can spot the difference.

Who the heck is Toni Turner and why did she replace MJ?

And for legality this is the original cover for Models, Inc #1.

It's for girly stuff! Because girls love magazines!

Oh, tee hee! How silly of me, how could I forget? It must've been all that shoe-shopping and painting my toenails that pushed it all right out of my pretty little head!

Well enough about you and our opinions on comics. Let's talk about our boyfriends! giggle!

I never know where I fit in all this. Do I creepily stalk and seduce you guys, or run around looking for men to castrate, or sit around with said men grunting and talking about motorcycles and car engines, or what?

Honestly I was wondering that as I wrote the boyfriends bit.

I think maybe you sit on tables with a knowing look in your eye, roll your eyes at our troubles, and offer us cigarettes with a sardonic smile?

I can't think where I've seen that sort of trope, but I'm pretty sure that I have.

(And if you swap out the cigarettes for candy sticks, that's the kind of person I'd like to have around.)
