Phil Jimenez To Draw Models Inc. Comic Book Cover Featuring Tim Gunn

Comic book artist and writer Phil Jimenez will draw a Marvel Comics cover of the new mini-series Models Inc, (unfortunaaaate name) featuring two of the sexiest robotic men in pop culture history - Tim Gunn and Iron Man. The series will follow three famous ladies - Millie the Model [Ed. note: This is me nerding out because my dad used to buy me Millie comics when I was but a wee girl.], Patsy Walker (Hellcat) and Mary-Jane (Spiderman’s sometime-ladyfriend) - as they attempt to solve the mystery of who murdered a set designer during New York Fashion Week. Spoiler: It was Marc Jacbo’s massive ego. 

Millie is the prime suspect in the case and the girls work together to try and clear her name. Along the way, Project Runway’s Tim Gunn will act as a mentor of sorts, at one point dressing up in Iron Man’s suit. This all sounds very exciting, but we wonder if there’s a way to incorporate some particularly fashionable Latino stars into the comic’s storyline. 

Hmm…

Jessica Alba is known as a fairly fashionable ladygirl so we think she’d make an excellent addition to this series. Her special powers would include frowning with her eyes and smuggling rocket launchers underneath her dress. So we guess, no, she’s not actually happy to see you.

Walter Mercado routinely takes fashion out behind the shed, whispers beautiful lies into its ear, gently lowers its trousers and then… Well. Let’s just say he’s creative and maybe a little aggressive when it comes to fashion. He would totally play a villain because he’s already got a bejeweled cape (convenient!) and because he knows the secrets of the stars (nefarious!).

Alejandra Guzman can pretty much do no wrong when it comes to fashion, so we think she would be ideal as a sort of benevolent queen sitting in her tower of chiffon tutus and fingerless gloves. And boobs. Her tower is kind of gross.
