Review Overview

Dive into the thrilling world of Screaming Pain Ball with Trini and her group of misfit friends as they embark on a dangerous journey to compete in Queen Mob’s deadly tournament in I Heart Skull-Crusher. Written by Josie Campbell and featuring artwork by Alessio Zonno, this debut issue is a great blend of Manga and US comics.

From the moment you open the first page of I Heart Skull-Crusher, you are immediately drawn into the vibrant world created by Josie Campbell and Alessia Zonno. The character of Trini is a relatable protagonist who dreams of following in the footsteps of her hero, Skull-Crusher, and competing in Screaming Pain Ball. As she gathers her ragtag group of friends to journey across the American wastes, each character brings a unique personality and skill set to the team, creating a dynamic ensemble that readers will root for throughout the story.

One of the standout features of this comic book is Alessio Zonno’s Manga-style artwork, which brings the characters and action sequences to life with vivid colors and dynamic illustrations. The attention to detail in each panel immerses readers in the high-stakes world of Screaming Pain Ball, from intense battles on the field to heartfelt moments between friends off the battlefield. Zonno’s art truly elevates Campbell’s storytelling, making I Heart Skull-Crusher a visual feast for all comic fans.

I Heart Skull-Crusher has compelling characters, gripping storyline, and stunning artwork that blends Manga and US comics in such a great way. Don’t miss out on this exhilarating ride!

I Heart Skull-Crusher #1 hits local comic shops on March 20, 2024 from BOOM! Studios.
