Post-Apocalyptic Sports Lead New BOOM! Title

BOOM! Studios has presented a first look at their new series, I Heart Skull-Crusher #1, a YA sports action series set in a post-apocalyptic world. The comic is written by Josie Campbell (Amazons Attack comic writer, My Adventures with Superman screenwriter), artist Alessio Zonno (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), colorist Angel De Santiago, and letterer Jim Campbell.

“18-year-old Trini will do anything to compete in her favorite sport, Screaming Pain Ball, aspiring to the heights of her longtime hero Skull-Crusher! But she can’t do it alone, and a gaggle of misfits is just what she needs to cross the American Waste and battle in Queen Mob’s deadly tournament,” BOOM!’s description reads. “With Trini’s dreams of being just like Skull-Crusher on the line, do she and her friends have what it takes to win a coveted spot on Skull-Crusher’s undefeated team?”

The first issue of I Heart Skull-Crusher features a main cover by Zonno and variants by R1c0 (Grim) and Gus Allen (Lumberjanes). It will arrive in comic shops on March 13, 2024.
