Humanoids announced the March 2024 release of Total Suplex of the Heart by Joanne Starer and Ornella Greco, a new OGN inspired by Starer’s real pro-wrestling experiences.
Glowing up isn’t the same as growing up. Georgie’s always been nerdy: Teased by jocks, spending her lunchtime with a comic in hand, and falling in love with wrestling from Saturday nights on the couch with her dad. But that was then – this is now!
She’s out of school, freelancing as a journalist, and hot as heck.
In an effort to prove to her mom that she has a “real job,” she goes undercover in the local hardcore wrestling scene to investigate a piece. She’s quickly swept up in the drama, both in and out of the ring. With new friendships developing and potential romance blossoming, she’s riding the wave of attention that temporarily silences her own insecurities.
But as girl fights, casual hook-ups, and creepy older men begin to dominate her days, Georgie has to ask herself who really holds the power in her life, and whether she’s happy with where it’s headed.
“TOTAL SUPLEX OF THE HEART is an incredibly personal story for me. It borrows from my formative years as a teenager, navigating my way through eating disorders, toxic relationships, and my own self-worth, all while working in the wild world of pro-wrestling,” said Starer in a press release from Humanoids. “I can only hope it strikes a chord with readers who have experienced some of these same struggles.”
