Kickstart Comics, the new publishing venture from Kickstart Productions, teamed up again with comic gurus Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray (Jonah Hex, Power Girl, The
Resistance) on a new graphic novel entitled BOOK SMART. With Pencils & inks & cover by Juan Santacruz (Incredible Hulk, X-Men and The Resistance 2). Their previous
