Get Ready for a Crazy New Wrestling Comic from Daniel Warren Johnson, DO A POWERBOMB
Cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson (Murder Falcon) is set to release a new series called Do a Powerbomb this year. The seven issue miniseries is launching from Image Comics with the first issue in June and is described as The Wrestler meets Dragon Ball Z. It sounds ridiculous in an incredible way.
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!
Talking about the series, Johnson said:
Ever since I started writing and drawing comics, I've wanted to make stories that get me EXCITED. I mean, like, REALLY PUMPED UP. 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!
You can read Do a Powerbomb #1 on June 15 with a main cover by Johnson or a variant cover by James Harren.
