WWAC is proud to present an exclusive excerpt of Total Suplex of the Heart, an original graphic novel that takes inspiration from the real-world experiences of writer Joanne Starer’s (Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville) time running a women’s wrestling promotion. With lettering by Nathan Kempf and featuring pulse-pounding artwork by Ornella Greco, Total Suplex of the Heart promises to be the total package.
Coming soon from Humanoids, Total Suplex of the Heart follows young freelance journalist Georgie as she dives headfirst into the fast-paced world of wrestling:
Glowing up isn’t the same as growing up. Georgie’s always been nerdy: Teased by jocks, spending her lunchtime with a comic in hand, and falling in love with wrestling from Saturday nights on the couch with her dad. But that was then – this is now!
She’s out of school, freelancing as a journalist, and hot as heck. In an effort to prove to her mom that she has a “real job,” she goes undercover in the local hardcore wrestling scene to investigate a piece. She’s quickly swept up in the drama, both in and out of the ring. With new friendships developing and potential romance blossoming, she’s riding the wave of attention that temporarily silences her own insecurities. But as girl fights, casual hook-ups, and creepy older men begin to dominate her days, Georgie has to ask herself who really holds the power in her life, and whether she’s happy with where it’s headed.
Fortunately, you won’t need ringside seats to find out what happens next! Total Suplex of the Heart will land in stores on June 18, 2024.
