BOOM! Studios announced its ongoing World Wrestling Entertainment comic series will launch in January.
The main story will be written by Dennis Hopeless (Cable and X-Force, Avengers Arena), with art by Eduard Petrovich. A back-up story will be written by Ross Thibodeaux (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2016 Annual), with art by Rob Guillory (Chew). The first story arcs follow the “Breaking of The Shield.” Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose formed The Shield, one of the most dominant factions in WWE history, until Seth betrayed the group. Now, after a near career-ending injury, Seth is back to compete for the WWE Championship, and his former brothers are standing in his way.
The 32-page, full color comic has an MSRP of $3.99.
BOOM! is premiering the WWE comic franchise with a one-shot in November (see “BOOM! Takes Different Approach to WWE Comics”).
