KaBOOM! Studios Launches Bravest Warriors in October

October is as good a month as any to be brave, what with all the tricking, treating and bewitching. That's not quite what Pendelton Ward had in mind when he created the Bravest Warriors cartoon. Nor is it what writter Joey Comeau and illustrator Mike Holmes had in mind when they adapted it to a comic for KaBOOM!. Still though, it's due out in October.

Chris, Wallow, Beth and Danny are four 16-year-old heroes-for-hire and they warp from galaxy to galaxy, saving alien races with the power of their emotions. They’re noble, righteous and totally bodacious apparently.

“I love the good natured respect of friendship and silliness at the heart of Pendleton Ward's work,” commented writer Comeau, “I'm excited for people to see what I have planned for the characters!”

Additionally, KaBOOM! Studios has just announced a last minute signing at San Diego Comic-Con with Ward. Ward will be signing in the designated Comic-Con signing area in the Sails Pavilion on Saturday 1:30pm-2:30pm. In order to be eligible to participate in the signing, fans must come to the BOOM! booth (#2743) to obtain a ticket.

In order to obtain a ticket for the Pendleton Ward signing, fans must purchase the Adventure Time #1 Pendleton Ward SDCC exclusive variant cover on Wednesday night, Thursday, or Friday during show hours. The tickets will be limited to 500 total and numbered. Ticket holders will be entered into a lottery for one of 30 guaranteed signing spots on Saturday. Winning ticket numbers will be posted at the BOOM! booth on Saturday morning. Winning ticket holders will be eligible to get one item signed by Ward.

Bravest Warriors #1 ships in October with main covers by Tyler Hesse and Maris Wicks. As well as Marc Bell, Jim Rugg and Ward variants. The title is a six-issue mini-series which is accessible to all ages. Each issue will run a full 32 pages and will carry a $3.99 price point.
