18-year-old Trini will do anything to compete in her favorite sport, Screaming Pain Ball, alongside her longtime hero Skull-Crusher! But she can’t do it alone, and a gaggle of misfits is just what she needs to cross the American wastes and battle in Queen Mob’s deadly tournament.
With Trini’s dreams of being just like Skull-Crusher on the line, do she and her friends have what it takes to win a coveted spot on their team?
Breakout writer of DC’s Amazons Attack event and screenwriter Josie Campbell (Wonder Woman, She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power, My Adventures With Superman) along with rising star artist Alessio Zonno (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) bring sports action to post-apocalyptic America with comic relief and brevity at its brutal heart, perfect for fans of Do A Powerbomb and Fence!

    A bit crazy. But this could be a fun ride. I'm getting Hunger Games vibes with some tank girl thrown in.

    This debut issue throws you headfirst into a post-apocalyptic world that’s equal parts Mad Max meets Dodgeball. Josie Campbell (@cozyjamble_official) crafts a society ravaged by water scarcity where the only real entertainment comes from a sport called Screaming Pain Ball (think gladiatorial lacrosse). We meet Trini, a teenage orphan w/ a fierce determination to play the game professionally w/ Skull-Crusher, a legendary female SPB player & her hero/crush.

    Campbell’s script crackles w/ energy throughout the book. One moment you’ll be laughing out loud at Trini’s inner (& outer) monologue, the next you’ll be crying at how much paid she carries on her shoulders. Campbell sneakily packs a ton of moments of genuine emotion, making you instantly invested in Trini & her journey.

    Enhancing the script is the phenomenal art team. Alessio Zonno’s (@alessio_zonno) designs pops are dynamic, with a manga-inspired style that perfectly captures the energy of Campbell’s script. Every panel thrums with life, accentuated by Angel De Santiago’s vibrant colors. Together, they create a visually stunning world that’s both beautiful and brutal.

    I HEART SKULL-CRUSHER #1 is a knockout. It’s a perfect blend of action, humor, & surprising emotional depth. By the end of the issue I was cheering for Trini, and I’m eager to see what comes next in the Screaming Pain Ball arena!

    This first volume SCRATCHED the Mad Max itch that I have always had. It was so sweet, beautifully illustrated, and genuinely got good laughs out of me.

    I am so excited to see where the story goes! I'm already dreading it ending.
