Fans of pro-wrestling will have no problem finding comic book related titles when ComiXology Originals release Hard Style Juice! a new comic from Clay McCormack and Ricardo Lopez-Ortiz.
Wrestling is big business in arenas across the country, and for the Castros, it’s the family business. “King” Castro is the patriarch of the family, he’s also the manager, booker, promotor, MC, and owner of the local independent wrestling promotion KCPW. His daughter, Ramonita “Mona” Castro, has dreams of going to business school, but also has a penchant for wrestling. And his son, Rey Castro, is the star. A real showman, Rey is known as the “King of the Death Match,” and he’s on the verge of getting a contract to go pro.
But when a shocking in-ring death occurs, it sends the family spiraling out of control, and down the path of revenge as one big question looms: Was it an accident or was it murder?
“Pro-wrestling and comic books have always felt like two sides of the same coin for me, so combining the two was a no-brainer,” said writer Clay McCormack in a press release. “Hard Style Juice! is a crime drama, but instead of organized crime the family is dedicated to the glitz and spectacle of professional wrestling.”
Hard Style Juice! is scheduled to arrive on April 16, 2024.
