Created and written by Sam Johnson (The Almighties<\/em>,\u00a0Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman<\/em>) and illustrated by Carlos Granda (Charmed<\/em>,\u00a0Grimm Fairy Tales<\/em>), the first\u00a0Geek-Girl<\/em>\u00a0Mini-Series introduced the world to attractive, popular Maine college co-ed Ruby Kaye \u2013 a girl used to getting whatever she wants…<\/p>\n

On a drunken whim, Ruby landed a pair of power-inducing super-tech glasses from her college’s resident brainiac; but rather than\u00a0impressing<\/em>\u00a0her friends, Ruby alienated the majority of her clique while klutzily trying to demonstrate her new-found abilities \u2013 accidentally knocking drinks over their expensive designer dresses. Her BFF Summer James was<\/em>\u00a0into what Ruby could do now, though \u2013 and pushed her into trying to be a super-hero \u2013 which climaxed with Ruby stopping super-villain Lightning Storm from taking over their city of Maine but, electrocuted by Lightning Storm in the process, getting left in a coma!<\/p>\n

Johnson brings us up to speed for the new series: \u201cSummer’s feeling a bit responsible for what happened to Ruby, and has got the super-tech glasses and is trying to fill in for her as ‘Geek-Girl’. Jock super-hero Pit Bull has taken her under his wing with the intention of training her up to go solo \u2013 but Summer is having a hard time of it.\u201d Johnson continues, \u201cLightning Storm did a lot of damage to law enforcement in Maine, which is now badly undermanned, and there’s a crime wave going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

And things are about to escalate into a crime\u00a0war<\/em>, as a new bunch of villains have entered the scene, looking to make a name for themselves and clean up. Johnson continues, \u201cThe League of Larcenists are a quirky bunch of villains lead by Pig Head \u2013 a guy whose brain has been fused with a pig’s. The crew are packing serious tech, including blasters and a teleporter, and are pulling bank jobs, with the intention of gaining a reputation and growing in number.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, Ruby’s previously-estranged clique are looking to ingratiate themselves back in with Ruby, now that she’s popular again after saving their city \u2013 and they perceive Summer as trying to ride on Ruby’s coat-tails now she’s doing the ‘Geek-Girl thing;’ and as result, they’ve now put\u00a0her<\/em>\u00a0out in the cold. As if that wasn’t enough for the rookie super-heroine to do deal with [Johnson concludes]: enter super-villain The Cad \u2013 who has the power to mess with girls’ heads!\u201d<\/p>\n
