A celebrity writer gets canceled for fatshaming, and it gets even worse for her in horror comic DId You Hear About Mimi Green?
When a celebrity writer's past fat-shaming writings are discovered, getting covered by a TMZ-like outlet is the least of her problems.

If TMZ (or things like it) is writing about you, chances are it may not be a good thing. For blogger-turned-celebrity-writer Mimi Green, it certainly isn't. After a paparazzi news outlet unearths decades-old blog posts fatshaming people, Green does what many celebrities do - goes into hiding, and looks for help (or a place to hide out, depending on who you ask). But when the mental health facility she checks into is more about punishment than a solution, Mimi Green is in for it.
That's the story of the new Dark Horse limited series Did You Hear About Mimi Green?, by artist Josh Cornillion (Young Men in Love) and lit-agent-turned-comics-podcaster-turned-writer Connor Goldsmith (Cerebro). Here is a trailer for the series, debuting here on Popverse:
"Working on this story, from its first early germination years ago, to the full-fledged surreal dream that it has become, has been an absolute pleasure, and the chance to build this world from the ground up with Connor has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences I’ve had in my career," Cornillion says.
"Did You Hear About Mimi Green? is a very personal story, and I’m so grateful Dark Horse understands what I’m trying to accomplish with this book," says Goldsmith.
"I can’t wait for readers to meet Mimi. I hope she survives the experience!" adds Cornillion.
Did You Hear About Mimi Green? #1 (of 4) goes on sale on May 27 at your local comic shop, as well as online.
