Under the guise of BOOM! Studios, we bear witness to the unveiling of the next installment in the gripping FENCE saga, entitled “FENCE CHALLENGERS: LONG SHOT #1”. Our collaborative masterminds include the prodigious talents of New York Times bestselling writer C.S. Pacat, who breathes life into the story, and the artistic prowess of Johanna the Mad, colored with the brilliance of Joana LaFuente, all presented to you in fine print by our letterer, Jim Campbell.

This turn of the page in the Fence chronicles brings us back to Kings Row, where our rookie fencers have recently returned from the cutthroat Halverton Training Camp, wholly shouldering their newfound reputation as surprise champions. Now, they’re plunging into the State Championships, underdogs no longer, but potential titans of the sport.

Tension thickens not only in the competitive atmosphere but also in the air between our protagonists, Nicholas and Seiji. As these two grapple with more than just foils, their first match puts them against the familiar faces of their old training rivals. But fear not, as MacRob, acting as the team’s secret weapon, unveils a cunning strategy that could resculpt the match into a unforeseen direction…

BOOM! Studios’ illustrious BOOM! Box imprint champions the release of FENCE CHALLENGERS: LONG SHOT. This imprint has previously spawned awe-inspiring original series akin to “Lumberjanes”, “Juliet Takes a Breath”, “Giant Days”, “Mamo”, “Save Yourself!” and so many more memorable imaginative lands.

With keen anticipation, FENCE CHALLENGERS: LONG SHOT #1 will grace the shelves of comic shops come out July 24, 2024. The year may seem a distant future, but we’d recommend you to lock in your pre-order at your nearest comic shop to avoid a heroic chase at the last minute. For those who prefer to flip pages on more modern devices, the digital copies will be available for purchase from a plethora of content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.

And now, brave reader, all that’s left is for the whistle to echo in the grand arena of Kings Row for this fresh chapter to truly begin. Make sure you don’t miss the first strike.
