“With nothing else like it on the shelves, this title is playing on its own field. Pad up; it packs a wallop.” —Booklist
One man versus every mascot in professional sports—THEY WILL ALL BE PUNCHED! Chad Bowers (Deadpool: Bad Blood, X-Men ‘92), Chris Sims, and Scott Kowalchuk’s heartwarming and hilarious Down, Set, Fight! returns in a deluxe tenth anniversary hardcover, perfect for fans old and new alike!
“Fearless” Chuck Fairlane was football’s fastest rising star, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was expelled from the league after goin’ HAM and causing the biggest brawl in the history of sports. Years later, Chuck has found peace as a high school football coach, until costumed mascots begin attacking him for seemingly no reason. Before long, Chuck's going to discover that you can't run away from the past—but you CAN punch it square in the face!
“Kowalchuk’s rock ’em, sock ’em art fits the action, and Sims and Bowers’s slam-bang, slapdash script manages to be both cynical and fuzzily warmhearted.” * Publishers Weekly *
“With plenty of good old-fashioned fistfight action, tongue-in-cheek humor, and messages about honesty and mentoring, this comic would appeal especially strongly to sports-loving young men, teenage and up, who may be reluctant readers. Kowalchuk's blocky, slightly retro art renders the action with clarity and zest.” * Library Journal *
