miloventimiglia_heroes3b.jpgHayden Panettiere’s boyfriend is certainly a man of many talents. According to reports, Peter Petrelli of “Heroes” will now be a comicbook star. Through their Divide Pictures, Milo Ventimiglia and producing partner Russ Cundiff have inked a deal with Devil’s Due Publishing to create “Rest,” a comicbook miniseries to be published in the fall. The four issues in the series will revolve around the dangers of staying awake as a man is drawn into a conspiracy between a malevolent pharmaceutical company and the U.S. government.

The design of the main character will be inspired by Milo Ventimiglia’s likeness. Mark Powers, who penned the comicbook “Drafted” and edited “X-Men,” will write the issues based on a story by Mike O’Sullivan. Devil’s Due and Milo (sans Hayden) has unveiled the project at New York’s Comic-Con. If successful, the comicbooks will be adapted as a TV show or movie. COOL! =)
