Looking back over the 2009 year, MTV's Splash Page looks at all things comic book, movie, tv, music, news and media related. It just so happens
they decided Bluewater Productions generated the best comic buzz of 2009 with the line of biography comics known as Political Power and
Female Force.
Here is the quoted snippet from their "Best of 2009: Toys, Trends, News, Etc." article:
BEST BUZZ-GENERATOR
"Female Force" Biography Comics (Bluewater)
If we had put together this list at the mid-year point, there would've been no question which trend earned the nod: U.S. President Barack Obama's
constant cameos on comic book covers. Months later, however, there's no arguing with the year-end traffic reports — "Harry Potter" author
J.K. Rowling and "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer trump Obama when it comes to generating buzz in the collector audience. While Obama's
comic book cameos received a hefty share of attention in the mainstream media, it was nearly impossible to avoid mentions of Bluewater's unauthorized
biography comics on the air or online over the second half of 2009. While there's some debate among longtime comics readers over whether this is a good
thing, there's no arguing that (to paraphrase a comics character almost as famous as Obama) Bluewater's line of bio comics are the best there is at
what they do — and what they do is get noticed by the media.
