Their performers may defy gravity like super-heroes, but now Cirque du Soleil legitimately belongs alongside Spider-man and the Fantastic Four. Cirque has teamed with Marvel Comics to produce a comic book based on . During Cirque Week we were introduced to the production team of a proposed four-issue series. The story honors the exact plot of the MGM Grand show and, if you've heard that Cirque don't always make sense, you certainly can't say that about the hero's journey of KÀ.

This limited edition comic is not available in stores. It's a special creation they hope will reach a new audience who be inspired by the story and art to check out the live show. KÀ's Artistic Director Marie-Helene Gagnon was deeply moved by some of the images and an interesting side effect is the comic book has been inspiring some tweak ideas for the stage production.

While no new plot was added, the comic does fill in a few narrative grey areas even the enormous KÀ set and staging was unable to convey. And, the pages do so minus any dialogue. The creators chose to tell the story via an omniscient narrator.

If you'd like your own copy, Cirque will -- on occasion -- let them loose as prizes, premiums or special offers. There's also eBay. Or, you can read the whole comic online in a special digital edition here. No timetable for the remaining three comic books, but both parties are enthused about finishing the series, if only as a gift to the rabid Cirque fan base.
