It's been teased for more than a month, but Mark Waid's new digital comic venture Thrillbent finally launched today. The first installment, Insufferable, is a new series co-created with former Irredeemable partner Peter Krause which, fittingly, puts a new spin on some familiar ideas...

Mark Waid continued the roll-out of his digital comic announcements (including his contribution to Marvel's "Infinite" initiative and he and Jeremy Rock's "Luther" story) at this weekend's C2E2 convention with the news of a brand new digital publishing website called Thrillbent, as well as a new digital collaboration with his Irredeemable co-creator, Peter Krause...
