The Toledo (Ohio) Blade talks with comics writer and Bowling Green State University graduate Marc Sumerak:

These days Mr. Sumerak works from the Cleveland area, where he grew up, as a free-lance writer who continues to work for Marvel as well as American Greetings. He has two comic books coming out soon: Power Pack, about a group of brothers and sisters who encounter an alien and end up getting superpowers, and a new one that he created himself, Machine Teen.

"It's about a perfect boy finding out that he's not real at all. He's actually a robot," he said. "It's going to be a neat mix of teen drama, corporate conspiracy, and robot butt-kicking action."
