Fans can BEARly wait…
PORTLAND, Ore. 05/18/2022 — The side-splitting, flapjack-snacking, fan-favorite Shirtless Bear-Fighterby Jody LeHeup and Nil Vendrell is back this August with a new story arc—and fans can BEARly wait… This much-fuzzed-about series will return to shelves this August with Shirtless Bear-Fighter 2 #1 out from Image Comics.
FINALLY! The man, the myth, the legend—SHIRTLESS BEAR-FIGHTER RETURNS to the War on Bearror in a wild new action-comedy with higher stakes, new characters, and all the heart and hilarity fans have come to expect. This time, Shirtless’s search for his true origin sets him on a cosmic collision course with the beargod…URSA MAJOR!
"Shirtless Bear-Fighter is quite possibly the most joyful comic of all time and given the events of the last few years, we could all use some of that joy right now," LeHeup said in an exclusive scoop on the announcement at ComicBook.com. "So I'm absolutely thrilled to announce Shirtless Bear-Fighter 2. We always said we wouldn't do more unless we found the right story and boy did we find it. I cannot wait for fans to see what Nil and I have in store. If you thought volume one was wild, you haven't seen anything yet. Prebear yourselves!"
