The award-winning team of C.S. Pacat and Johanna the Mad are back with another volume of Fence, their comic series about an aspiring fencing champion published by BOOM! Studios’ BOOM! Box imprint.
Fence Challengers: Long Shot will debut in July, and follows the original 12-issue series that ran in 2017-2018, two subsequent graphic novels and the miniseries Fence: Redemption, which was released last year.
“The State championship begins,” Pacat said. “Everything the boys of Fence have fought for is on the line. Get ready for some epic showdowns–this is my favorite volume yet!”
Here’s how BOOM! describes the new series:
The Kings Row fencers are fresh off of Halverton Training Camp and ready for State Championships, bringing with them the burden and blessing of a brand-new reputation as the underdog champions.
As attraction rises between Nicholas and Seiji, the team will face old training rivals in their first match, but MacRob has a secret strategy that turns the tide…
Noah Dao provides a variant cover for the first issue:
Here’s a preview of the first issue, showcasing the artwork of Johanna the Mad:
“Kings Row heads on to a new challenge and they will need a lot more than just skill,” said Johanna the Mad. “I hope readers enjoy diving into this new chapter as much as we do creating it!”
Look for the first issue to arrive in stores on July 24.
