Meet Niki Tino, title character in The Addiction.<\/i><\/p>\n \u2014 Vincent Zurzolo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2023 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — A new superhero has emerged, one who can alter her blood chemistry at will and, with a touch, subdue enemies, save strangers and loved ones and fight the evils of addiction everywhere? Her name is Niki Tino\u2026 that\u2019s Doctor Niki Tino.<\/p>\n She is the heroine of a new comic book<\/a> co-created by Vincent Zurzolo<\/a>, president of Metropolis Collectibles and ComicConnect, and David Quinn, the comic book writer behind such titles as \u201cFaust\u201d and Marvel\u2019s \u201cDoctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme.\u201d It\u2019s drawn by Claudia Balboni, the Italian comic book artist and Eisner Award nominee for \u201cKiller Queens\u201d (Dark Horse).<\/p>\n Zurzolo, who knows a few things about pop culture, says, \u201cNiki\u2019s strange powers and character are unique in pop culture. Her mission to use drugs to fight the destruction and pain caused by drugs is heroic in a way we\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides being smart, sexy and dangerous, she\u2019s also conflicted, in her family background (the adopted daughter of an addicted Italian American mother and Chinese American father) and love (her boyfriend Enzo, to whom she\u2019s reluctant to reveal her full self).<\/p>\n The stories are set in iconic New York City locales and restaurants, along with a cast of evil drug lords and bizarre bad guys who stir in some harrowing flashbacks, creating a tasty Italian-flavored zuppe with enough spice, action and R-rated dialogue to intrigue seasoned comic book readers and newcomers to the genre.<\/p>\n \u201cI think this is going to appeal to a number of people,\u201d Zurzolo says. \u201cPeople who are into interesting, strange, quirky worlds; female audiences because of the strong positive role model; a broader audience of collectors because of my background in comics and presence in vintage books \u2013 and people who haven\u2019t bought a brand new comic book in decades.\u201d<\/p>\n
