Tom Akel Goes “Anywhere”

If blessed with the ability to instantly transport to anywhere on Earth, it would be nice to think that one might use that power for something more substantial than simply popping over to India for a curry. But then again, real adventuring might cut into video game time. Such are the challenges facing Dust and Wormhole, the heroes of Comedy Central producer Tom Akel’s “Anywhere,” a six-issue miniseries debuting in November from Arcana. Akel co-wrote the book with Eric Mahoney, and Alan Quah provides the art. CBR News caught up with Akel for a quick chat about the series.

Akel described “Anywhere” as “the equivalent of a sitcom centered around 3 protagonists in a world of superbeings, and what happens to the ones who aren’t motivated to do much more than anyone else their age. It’s for readers of comics like ‘Howard the Duck’ and ‘Hero Squared,’ or who watch shows like ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ and ‘Squidbillies.’ The humor is a bit sophomoric, and all in good fun.”
