I just became Facebook Friends with Kat Cahill, who messaged me that she just had her debut issue of her comic book mini-series distributed on November 12th, 2008!

The comic book was published through Shadowline/Image Comics. Issue number two arrives December 3, 2008 with the final issue of the three issue mini arriving January 14, 2009.

So what is the mini-series about?

Well, the comic book follows a young woman named Renée Tempete.  She aspires to be the next 'Gallant Girl'...

'Gallant Girl' is actually a "legacy super-heroic identity" whose host is determined every ten years by pageant! Gallant Girl is the sole female member of the 'Fellowship of Freedom'.

I have not read the entire first issue yet, so I didn't want to list more about the mini-series premise other than that!

(I've actually only read five of the story pages from the first issue and viewed the three covers of the mini-series.)

But.... Here is where Kat Cahill's story becomes one that many would love to have happen to them:  “I Hate Gallant Girl” took an unusual route to the comics stands, in that it was part of a contest that was held by Shadowline.

Shadowline asked writers to submit their concepts for consideration, and from those thousands of entries, only five were voted on by the public!

Of the five, it was a different concept that was the actual 'winner' and that concept has already been published. However, "I Hate Gallant Girl", was such a favorite runner up that it too was selected for publication!

So, here's a comic book mini-series about a super-heroine that our blog readers might want to seek out either at their LCBS, or at their favorite online store...

Let us know what you think of this storyline should you read it!  We'll have to do the same when we find our copy!
