Dynamite has a new Sheena title hitting this Fall. In Sheena: Queen of the Jungle #1, fans will find out what happens when you take the titular character out of her comfortable jungle home and place her in an elite boarding school.
Writers Steven. E. De Souza and Wes Clark Jr. along with artist Ediano Silva are leading the charge. Read details from the publisher below:
You can take the girl out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the girl. That’s the lesson that society will learn when Sheena must enroll in an elite boarding school for girls. Cardwell Inc. is betting that some formal education will teach their long-lost and “raised by wolves” (and other animals!) scion the niceties and social mores of the civilized world. Could this finishing school enrollment also be a bit of a cover up? As they’re taking her out of her beloved Val Verde rainforest adopted home, giving them the chance to continue relentlessly exploiting it for business!
Sheena is used to the savage, claws-out battle for domination in the jungle. But will she be prepared for the equally treacherous and vicious dynamics of her hyper-competitive classmates? She will need to keep her instincts sharp, as it all goes south when she discovers the school’s centennial celebration is the target of a deadly plot! As the clock ticks down and Sheena races to expose the conspirators, her finishing school may just finish her!
“The jungle remains a location of mystery and danger to the human imagination,” said Wes Clark Jr. “Add a heroine capable of handling man and beast, and you’ve got a story people will keep coming back to. It’s primal.”
The new series will have covers from Lucio Parrillo, Joseph Michael Linsner, and Arthur Suydam. Fan-favorite Rachel Hollon contributes a cosplay cover.
