Tensions in the Sweet Sixteen Championships with a Double-Sized One-Shot Special!
BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at FENCE BREAKTHROUGH: GAME CHANGER #1 from New York Times bestselling writer C.S. Pacat, lauded artist Johanna the Mad, colorist Joana LaFuente, and letterer Taylor Esposito return to the high stakes world of Fence in the next exciting chapter of the fan-favorite saga, coming to comic shops everywhere July 2025!
Kings Row have made it to the final sixteen in the fencing championships, but they have a long way to go before they reach the finals—and Exton, where Nicholas and Seiji both have scores to settle.
Before they can think of that, however, Nicholas has to face off across the piste with Kyle, who doesn’t know Nicholas’s connection to the Coste family—and who believes Nicholas hasn’t earned his place on Kings Row’s team or as Seiji’s teammate. Can he pull off a victory and keep Kings Row in the running for championship gold?
