BOOM! Studios and the New Day Announce the Creative Team for WWE: THE NEW DAY
During San Diego Comic-Con, BOOM! Studios announced WWE: The New Day, an original graphic novel about the WWE Superstar team of Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods. Well, at New York Comic Con, the company and the wrestlers announced the creative team behind the novel. Evan Narcisse and Austin Walker will write it with Daniel Bayliss serving as artist. Narcisse expressed his excitement in a statement:
“I grew up loving and watching the Superstars of yesteryear but it wasn’t until I first saw The New Day that I felt like I finally got the sports entertainment that I’d been waiting for my whole life. The wit, charisma, and energy that Kofi, Xavier, and Big E show in the ring is incredibly infectious and I can’t wait to translate all that to the medium of comics.”
Walker added:
“Watching the rise of the New Day has been an absolute dream, so bringing their story to comics is a dream come true. The trio of Big E, Kofi, and Xavier have entertained millions around the world not only by being incredible performers in the ring, but by unapologetically being their authentic selves outside the ring. If we can capture even a little bit of their brilliance and humor, we’ll have a great comic on our hands.”
Bayliss, who did the cover art, released his statement:
“The New Day is the most fun and entertaining tag team in WWE today! I just want to bring the same kind of excitement and joy they transmit in the ring back into the pages of this book.”
WWE: The New Day will be available in 2020.
