With A New Movie Just Announced, You Might Want To Pick Up Tomorrow's Sheena: Queen Of The Jungle #1
Just in time for new comic book day, Sheena: Queen of the Jungle is getting a movie reboot. Millennium Films is bringing the jungle queen back to cinemas, according to a report from Deadline. Sheena was last on the big screen in the 1984 Columbia Pictures film Sheena, though there was also a syndicated Sheena TV show that ran from 2000-2002.
But you can't buy #1 issues of a movie or TV show and then sell them on eBay when the movie comes out for a huge profit, can you? And a movie or TV show doesn't come with a J. Scott Campbell cover that you can, er, admire privately. So isn't it fortuitous that the news of this movie broke the day before the first issue of Dynamite's new Sheena series, written by Marguerite Bennett and Christina Trujillo with art by Moritat, hits comic shops?
Based on the popular popular jungle queen pulp convention, Sheena is known as the first female comic book character to get her own ongoing title, launching in 1937, a few years before Wonder Woman. Dan Wickline, who might know a thing or two about it, as much as it pains us to say this, wrote a really good article deconstructing this trope, which you should go read.
But more importantly, if you want to join the exciting world of comic book speculation, grab a copy of Sheena: Queen of the Jungle #1 from the shop tomorrow and hang onto it in case the movie turns out to be a big hit.
