LeVar Burton's Comic Book Debut: 'Con-CERNed (Exclusive Comic)

[Dusty Ayres]

We've known for awhile that celebrated actor, director, author and of course, former host of PBS' "Reading Rainbow," LeVar Burton had a comic book story on the way via Dark Horse Comics, but the publisher's initial tease of a tale about "...physics, family, and consequences," left plenty of room for speculation about what the final product might yield.

ComicsAlliance is pleased to debut the entire eight-page comic short, entitled "Con-CERNed," which follows physicist Simon Barstow as he confronts the mystery of his bizarre new abilities obtained while investigating the Large Hadron Collider.

Thanks for posting this because I had no idea Burton was coming out with such a story.

It's an interesting read but it's a bit rushed. The story doesn't feel like it flows naturally probably as a result of trying to show a lot within 8 pages. I certainly would be interested in seeing an expanded version of these 8 pages along with a continuation.

Here's the whole strip:

Interesting storyline...I hope there's a sequel.

It feels more like a proof of concept or a sample of a larger work, I hope he has the chance to expand it.

That one guy looks like a cartoon Conan O'Brien.

I didn't even know he was working on a comic. It's pretty interesting but its a tad short. I've always liked the guy and would be more than willing to follow his work if he decided to take it further.

I like how the character has a fade like Burton circa 1992 lol.

That's not a bad little comic. I want to see more too.
