Music Box will be released both in comic book specialty stores and as an iPhone and iPod touch application on October 28th, the first time such a coordinated release has occurred. Hewitt will be signing copies of the book at Meltdown Comics that evening starting at seven P.M.

“I’m really enjoying creating my very own comic and look forward to sharing it,” said Hewitt. “Music Box is like a very fun nightmare and coming just in time for Halloween.”

Co-written by Hewitt and veteran comic scribe Lobdell, each issue of Music Box presents a new story in each issue, as different people come into contact with the music box and have unique experiences. Be it time travel, alternative realties or just plain evil, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Music Box masterfully weaves new and compelling stories with every issue.

“Who knew that behind that sweet million dollar smile of hers was a mind capable of coming up with such dark and dangerous stories?” said Lobdell. “Fans of Love will be dancing to a new tune… one that’s played by this mysterious music box from who- knows-where.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Music Box #1 (of 5) debuts on October 28, 2009.  Diamond order code SEP09 0868.
