BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at I HEART SKULL-CRUSHER! #1, the premiere issue of the post-apocalyptic YA sports action series by Josie Campbell, the breakout, hit writer of DC’s Amazons Attack event and screenwriter/producer on My Adventures With Superman, along with rising star artist Alessio Zonno (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), colorist Angel De Santiago, and letterer Jim Campbell. Coming to comic shops everywhere March 2024.
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.
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?
I HEART SKULL-CRUSHER! #1 features a main cover by series artist Alessio Zonno and variant covers by acclaimed artists R1c0 (Grim) and Gus Allen (Lumberjanes).
