I bet I'm not the first woman to think, "I want to know where Jameson buys her bras." Dayum.

Jameson is a bonafide skank.

Either way it goes, it isn't the kind of story that I enjoy, no matter who the lead character is modeled after. But I think it stands a decent chance- at her press conference in San Diego, she addressed this topic quite a bit, and I get where she's coming from. The woman is a media empire unto herself- she even has a line of soap!, so her name and face sells product, whether it's pornography or not. Will it move, say, DARK TOWER numbers? I wouldn't even come close to thinking so. But once they have a collection in stores, I think it'll move some units, and not necessarily to the standard buying demographic.

This is just a comic featuring a character who looks a bit like her. Big difference, surely.

It had some pix, but was basically your standard text autobiography. She seems to have enough of a following that her fanbase will buy what she does, period.

Weird enough that it's a mainstream comic book with illustrations of a porn star, meaning the porn star has nothing to do with the comics themselves, but why use her image? Second of all, why put a porn star in a comic and then have no nudity? Defeats the point... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird... It's like an incredibly stupid 'Buffy'. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird….
