Humanoids has revealed a first look at brand new original graphic novel Eight Limbs from writing powerhouse Stephanie Phillips, rising star artist Giulia Lalli, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letterer AndWorld Design, about Joanna—a retired Muay Thai champion—who takes in a troubled foster teen and decides to train her, until the teen finds herself entangled in the world of underground fights. Joanna must return to the ring to save her… and keep their new family together. In stores July 11.

After the devastating loss of her Muay Thai championship title, Joanna decided to walk away from competition, start a family, and open her own gym. But her quiet life gets disrupted when an old friend asks her to temporarily foster a troubled teen.

Just as Joanna believes she is starting to break through Mari’s walls, a misunderstanding drives Mari to run away and join an underground fighting ring. Joanna vows to do anything to get her back, even if that means stepping back into the ring.

Eight Limbs will be available in bookstores everywhere (bookshop.org) on July 11, 2023 and in comic shops (comicshoplocator.com) on July 12, 2023. Digital copies can be purchased from comiXology and other digital platforms.
