Mark Zuckerberg stars in new comic book

Bluewater Productions

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is everywhere lately!  His life has been turned into a movie, he's dined with the president of the United States, and he has his very own comic book. Wait, what?

Mashable reports that Canadian comic production company Bluewater Productions is releasing a very special "biographical comic portraying the life of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg" today.

The comic book is 48 pages long and can be found in most comic book shops. (It doesn't appear to be on sale online. If you find it online, let us know!) And if you decide to shell out $6.99 for it, you'll get not only a "balanced portrayal" of Zuckerberg's story, but you'll also know what's coming in a future animated series:

This take on Zuckerberg’s life and career prompted production company Hayden 5 Media to option the script and create an animated film based on the comic book. According to Todd Wiseman, President of Hayden 5, the proposed film will apply an interpolated rotoscoping technique to give the project a unique comic book aesthetic. This cross between real characters and animated surrounding was used in the movie A Scanner Darkly.

Movie? Check. Comic book? Check. Animated series? Check.

What's left for the Zuck to accomplish now?
