Series Details

New Challenger (Road to Battle Kingdom) is a comic that convinced a heretic that wrestling is awesome. Eoin packages the story in a sports manga way, with some flair beyond the norm, that captures me. It's a battle tourney comic, but a qualifier story about the characters that are struggling to make it into that battle. There's an Eoin charm to it, an aura of spirit and ambition, a wrestling eagerness and sincerity.

I love the first chapter of this comic, it covers everything it needs, with a comedic tinge. But, it's just the tip of the iceberg, as the following chapters start widening the scope, characters, lore, and (wrestling) action. We're printing this comic in three books, chaps 1&2 together, 3&4 together, then chap 5&6!

Eoin Magee's comics all have a very spirited 'brawl' energy. There's this undoubtable manga inspiration, but to say he's only reading fight manga would be a massive disservice to the truth. Although I'd categorize all his comics as shounen or seinen (or in between), there's a western foundation as well, that plays out in a nice way with structure, and a little accent to the art.

Eoin Magee's been making comics for a while. The key about this, for me, is the amount of growth he's had. His current series, the wrestling tourney battle comic, New Challenger, is where it really starts accelerating - that's why we're printing it! The start of this journey was Diamond Cutter, a dodgeball & mech shounen webcomic. Blood Rush, a completed vampire brawl action comic, took it a step up with the action (and blood). New Challenger keeps getting better every chapter; I've also had a glimpse into Eoin's future comics… and I'm very, very excited (to say the least).
