Fence: Rise | Exclusive Preview
Today we have a sneak preview of the fifth volume of Fence: Rise, by writer C.S. Pacat, artist Johanna the Mad, and colorist Joana LaFuente, the fifth volume in the GLAAD-award nominated series. Here’s the 411:
Excitement is in the air as Nicholas and his friends celebrate their coveted invitation to the Halverton Training Camp. They immediately come face-to-face with the best fencing teams in the country, and Nicholas struggles as he suffers defeat after defeat by an old enemy. Will a new addition to a rival team bring Nicholas closer to the rest of the Kings Row team and awaken the resilience within that he needs to prevail?
But Seiji, in contrast to Nicholas, remains unchallenged and let down by the camp. With Seiji’s goal to learn (instead of win) stuck in his head, will Nicholas step up to pose a real challenge to Seiji, maybe even growing their friendship as a result?
BOOM! Studios will publish Fence: Rise on August 10, 2022, under its BOOM! Box imprint, but you can get started right here, right now!
