Herobear and the Kid Coming to KaBOOM!

Every kid needs a hero. Some kids need a hero bear. Tyler is one such kid and his hero bear happens to make an appearance in the series Hereobear and the Kid Special #1 from KaBOOM! Studios. The book hits stores in June by Mike Kunkel.

Remember when you went on your first trip to an amusement park? Remember the excitement and anticipation? When Tyler's class wins a contest, they get to go to the grand opening of...Dippityland! But before Tyler can enjoy the day, he and his best friend Herobear have to stop a gang of imposter mascots from kidnapping the park's creator, Walter Dippity. It's a race against time to stop them from stealing a magical drawing on display in the heart of the park and destroying Dippityland forever.

The first issue ships with an all-new full color cover by Kunkel and is available for order under Diamond order code APR130954. And be sure to ask your retailer about the Animation Cell Variant and the rare Kunkel Hand-Sketched Variant. Full press release below.
