But Susan, you LIKE TV

Very cool news for two very nice and talented guys, Ultra gets a CBS pilot:

"According to Variety, the Luna brothers debut Image series, Ultra has been greenlighted for a pilot on CBS.

The miniseries (which gained the brothers attention from Brian Bendis and Marvel, leading to their current penciling gig on Spider-Woman: Origin) starred the workaholic super heroine, Ultra, and blurred the line between superheroes and celebrity. As such, the miniseries’ covers spoofed magazine covers, showing Ultra and her fellow heroes.

The pilot is being headed up by Barbara (Joan of Arcadia) Hill, who will executive produce, with David Engle and David Alpert as co-executive producers.

Presumably, if the pilot does well in its time slot and among its projected audience (not to mention if it has star power backing it), CBS will consider Ultra for an ongoing series."

I met the Lunas a few years ago in Baltimore and they're as nice as they are talented. I have a story about them giving me too much change on purpose, and for starving artists that's a lot. Even with the Joan of Arcadia lady I'm hoping it kicks butt.
