BOOM! STUDIOS' DODGE CITY
BOOM! Studios has announced a March launch for Dodge City, a new sports comic/teen comedy series about the high-energy chaos, heightened drama, and exaggerated costumes of competitive dodgeball, and one team's quest to make it all the way to the regional championships.
Writer Josh Trujillo and illustrator Cara McGee tell the story of the Jazz Pandas co-ed dodgeball team -- the worst team in their league and made up of outcasts -- and the efforts of their new captain, Tomas, who, despite being the youngest and least experienced member of the team, is really, really good at dodgeball.
"Dodge City is inspired by my years of playing dodgeball, along with the uncertainties of growing up," Trujillo said. "Dodgeball, like being a teenager, is incredibly chaotic -- the only way you can 'win' is by finding a community and working together."
The characters in Dodge City and its genre drew McGee to the project almost immediately.
"The cast is easily one of the most diverse I've seen in a story like this, and is an opportunity for me to get out of my own comfort zone with my art and character designs, which I'm very excited about," McGee said. "Josh just has such a great way with making interesting characters dealing with realistic struggles, which I think is amazing. And as a big fan of sports anime and manga I'm super-pumped to draw something in that genre."
Dodge City #1 will feature a main cover by McGee and a variant cover by Natacha Bustos.
BOOM! STUDIOS' LUCY DREAMING
BOOM! Studios has announce a March launch for Lucy Dreaming, a new limited series from Say Anything frontman/writer Max Bemis and artist Michael Dialynas.
The story is about a young girl who goes to sleep every night and becomes the hero of all of her favorite stories, living out grand adventures and learning more about the reality she lives in than she could ever learn in her waking life.
"I wanted to create a comic book I could give to my daughter when she's old enough to read," Bemis said. "Plus, as a kid, I remember enjoying Star Wars, The Goonies and Indiana Jones -- things that were larger-than-life adventures. I wanted to do something like that."
Lucy is a grumpy, emotive, full-of-life, 13-year-old girl who keeps waking up in the shoes of various archetypal female heroes. One night she'll wake up as a space princess turned rebel leader, another night she'll be a reluctant heroine who becomes the symbolic motivation for an entire country to revolt. But as fantastic as these "dreams" are, they carry the same life-and-death stakes as if Lucy was awake in real life. The reason why all this is happening to her, though, is a secret for now.
"I don't want to spoil why it happens," Bemis said. "But I will say it's a confusing time for Lucy. She's on the cusp of young adulthood and doesn't feel like she fits in. She looks down on the hypocrisy she sees surrounding her so she's escaped into the world of fiction."
Dialynas recently completed a run on BOOM!'s The Woods.
"After drawing a four-year long YA series on a murderous planet in a galaxy far far away, Lucy Dreaming seemed like a perfect opportunity to stretch my muscles on a fun story involving multiple universes and different genres," Dialynas said. "The fact that I'll get to play around with a new style and build up a few new worlds is very exciting for me!"
