In order to squeeze more money out of its male teen audience, "Sports Entertainment" giant WWE will be creating its own comic book series.
Starting in March 2010, WWE and Titan Publishing will begin its series of 20 books based on the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment--including Triple H®, Undertaker®, Randy Orton®, Batista®, Shawn Michaels®, Big Show®, John Cena®, CM Punk®, Kane®, Edge®, Chris Jericho®, Matt Hardy®, Rowdy Roddy Piper™, Carlito™, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler®, and Kelly Kelly®.
The WWE Heroes cycle will be penned by Keith Champagne, who has worked on comics such as "Justice Society of America," "Green Lantern Corps," and "World War III." The artwork is being done by Andy Smith, whose resume includes pencil work for Marvel, DC, and Image, among others.
Liam Sharp, who has done art work for "Hulk," "X-Men," "Spider Man," "Superman," and "Batman," has been commissioned to do an alternate cover for issue #1 which will be exclusive to comic stores.
