WWE superstars Rusev and Lana have revealed their plans to release a comic series called
Dark Country.
According to their announcement on
Instagram, Rusev and Lana will pen the comic along with award-winning comic book writer and screenwriter Jason Starr. Starr has written for several popular comic series, including
Wolverine Max, Punisher Max and
Justice, Inc.
Rusev and Lana didn't reveal many details about Dark County's plot. However, it seems both will star in the comic, as Rusev mentioned that his "quads" will make an appearance.
The Dark Country team is taking submissions to find the series' main artist. The winning artist will provide letters, inking, penciling and more for the series. The position, which is a paid gig, will be a collaborative effort. “You’re going to be a part of this journey," Lana said in the video. "We will be hanging out. This is a collaboration." The contest has a deadline of May 1, with the winner being selected on May 15. Contestants can submit samples to DarkCountryComic@gmail.com.
Rusev and Lana both appear on WWE's Smackdown. They were recently featured on TNT's Drop the Mic, where they performed a rap battle with Mark Cuban. For the Dark County announcement, Rusev sported a Batman beanie, while Lana and their puppy dressed in Spider-Man gear.
No release date has been announced for Dark Country.
