Image Comics has announced a new series from Daniel Warren Johnson that’ll bring readers into the world of pro wrestling with Do a Powerbomb. Launching its first issue on June 15th, the seven-issue series is written and drawn by Johnson.
“Ever since I started writing and drawing comics, I’ve wanted to make stories that get me EXCITED. I mean, like, REALLY PUMPED UP,” said Johnson in an exclusive on the series announcement at IGN. “And it’s no different here with Do a Powerbomb, where I’ve tried to channel my passion and love for pro-wrestling into a 2D space, to try and share it with my readers as best I can, and maybe get them excited about it too. And honestly, what’s a better way to make something new than to combine two things I love so much? I hope you all join me on this ride. I’m so proud of it!”
So what’s Do a Powerbomb about?
Do a Powerbomb follows Lona Steelrose who wants to be a pro wrestler, but lives in the shadow of her mother’s success before her. But everything changes when a wrestling-obsessed necromancer asks Lona to join the grandest—and the most dangerous—pro wrestling tournament of all time!
