Where else can you find this many legends of pro wrestling in a single comic book? Well, besides Aubrey Sitterson and Chris Moreno's brilliant Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, of course? But we're here to talk about WWE: Forever #1, a one-shot hitting stores in January from explosive publisher BOOM! Studios.

Some details from the press release:

You've never seen the Legends like this before! The team of Michael Kingston (Headlocked) & Michel Mulipola (WWE) return to document the rise of the Excellence of Execution, Bret "Hitman" Hart. Brent Schoonover (Captain Marvel) recounts when Bobby "The Brain" Heenan attempted to kidnap Matilda the Bulldog. Lan Pitts (WWE) and Carlos Magno (Planet of The Apes) bring us a showdown between Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase at a jewelry shop. Arune Singh and Kendall Goode (WWE: NXT Takeover) reveal the true origin of the partnership between Money Inc. tag team partners Irwin R. Schyster and Ted DiBiase. Derek Fridolfs (Adventure Time) shows us what happens when the electrifying Junkyard Dog gets pushed too far!

WWE: FOREVER #1 features a main cover by Rahzzah (Luke Cage), along with a wraparound preorder cover by Kendall Goode (The Doorman) and a variant cover by Marco D'Alfonso (I Am Groot) that will connect to variant covers for WWE #25 and WWE WRESTLEMANIA 2019 SPECIAL.

Says BOOM! Editor Chris Rosa:

Each of the stories in WWE: FOREVER #1 reminds us why these Superstars became Legends! An all-star team of writers and artists tackle the untold stories of some of WWE's greatest performers, making this a special issue jam-packed with fun and action you won't find anywhere else!

BOOM! has released a first look at the issue, which you can see below. WWE: Forever #1 hits stores on January 30th, by which point, who knows, any of these stars still living may have made their return at the Royal Rumble a few days earlier!
