Massive Publishing and Masked Republic Comics have released a first look at Luchaverse #1. Announced in April, the comic series blends wrestling and superheroes.
Originally published by Chido Comics, Luchaverse is written by Ivan Plaza and Marco Lopez with art by Ben Harvey and Diego Simone and a cover by Francesco Tomaselli.
It all starts here with the three-part launch of the epic new shared Luchaverse! The world’s most famous luchadores battle in the ring by day, and serve humanity as monster hunters and world protectors by night. In this series, Masked Republic Comics and Massive Publishing bring back the glory and tradition of real-life lucha libre stars in comic books, setting the stage for a new era filled with epic cross-genre action in a shared universe.
The first installment of the Luchaverse series is an action-packed double feature that is a perfect entry point for both long-time fans of luchadores and new readers looking for genre-bending adventure and universe-altering mystery. First, Rey Mysterio, the world’s most recognizable luchador discovers his legacy outside of the ring as the next in line to take on a great evil prophesied to return and plunge the world into darkness…
Next, as heir to his own legacy as lead luchador monster hunter, Tinieblas Jr. takes on the legions of the damned and all manner of creatures that go bump in the night while trying to prevent ancient forces of the monster realm from conquering the universe!
Luchaverse: Catalyst #1 comes to shops on July 17, 2024.
