BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at Fence Challengers: Sweet Sixteen #1, a special double-sized issue from New York Times bestselling writer C.S. Pacat, lauded artist Johanna the Mad, colorist Joana LaFuente, and letterer Taylor Esposito. Welcome back to the high stakes world of fencing in the next chapter of the Fence saga.

The Kings Row fencing team has made it all the way to the final sixteen in the tournament! But now they must face the best of the best.

It’s Seiji against Marcus, the fencer who made him fall in love with the sport to begin with; and Nicholas versus Kyle Allen, under the watchful eye of none other than Nicholas’s estranged father!

Fence Challengers: Sweet Sixteen #1 features a main cover by Johanna the Mad, with variant covers by Kody Okamoto. Available January 1, 2025.
