In January, BOOM! Studios' ongoing WWE comic hits stores, and the one-shot WWE: Then, Now, Forever came out in October and is in stores now. On Twitter, WWE released a short video advertisement for the comic, which, while relatively modest and unspectacular, is leagues above the lackluster attempts at making comic book trailers or TV advertisements undertaken in recent years by Marvel and DC.

And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
