Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is to feature in a series of comic books.

The actor, who plays Peter Petrelli in the NBC drama, has signed a deal with Devil’s Due Publishing to create a four-issue miniseries called Rest.

He and producing partner Russ Cundiff will develop the books via their Divide Pictures company, with Mark Powers (Drafted) attached to write them from a story by Mike O’Sullivan.

The issues will focus on the dangers of staying awake as the Ventimiglia-inspired central character becomes embroiled in a conspiracy between a malevolent pharmaceutical firm and the US government.

The project will be unveiled at New York’s Comic-Con today and published in the autumn.

If successful, the books may be made into a TV show or movie, reports Variety.

Ventimiglia can currently be seen in medical thriller Pathology.

Milo has recently been to “MTV’s TRL” and “Conde Nast Traveler Celebrates 8th Annual Hot List Party”. We have added pictures to the gallery.

HEROES star MILO VENTIMIGLIA has abandoned his dream of becoming a fighter pilot, after a vomit-inducing session in the skies.
The actor spent time with the Air Force Reserves during the recent Writer’s Guild of America strike, fulfilling a childhood ambition in the process.
He says, “There were three options: one I wanted to be an actor, two I wanted to be a doctor, and three I wanted to be a fighter pilot.”
But it didn’t end well for the star: “It’s amazing to see what those pilots do. But I got sick. There’s a before and after picture of me - before I went up and after I came down - looking crooked.”

I have added a scan from Issue 8 of Sci-Fi Now magazine.

PLOTTING the perfect murder is never easy – unless you are the country’s top pathology students.

MILO VENTIMIGLIA, best known as Peter Petrelli in the hit sci-fi series Heroes, pays talented Harvard graduate Dr Ted Gray.

Handpicked to take part in a top pathology programme, he is welcomed with open arms by his fellow students.

But their camaraderie has a sinister side and he is soon drawn into a deadly competition to commit the perfect crime.
