Titan Comics has announced that Arsenal FC: The Game We Love will be released next month on May 4th. The officially licensed graphic novel highlights the club's history thanks to a unique story that follows a new step-father, Andy, as he takes his step-son Nathan to his first soccer/football match.

Will Andrew's passion for his favorite soccer club, Arsenal, allow him to break the ice? Will sharing the stories of "The Invincibles" 2003/04 season, the record-breaking FA Cup win in 2017, and the construction of the Emirates Stadium turn Nathan into a fan?

Titan Comics was kind enough to send us the cover for Arsenal FC: The Game We Love as well as a few of the interior pages. We've included them below, and all of the images can be clicked to view larger versions.

Arsenal FC: The Game We Love is now available for pre-order through Amazon.com, Forbidden Planet, Waterstones and for digital devices. The hardcover retails for $19.99 and you can get the Kindle/comiXology edition for a dollar less ($18.99).

There were some great times, hopefully they'll return (Preferably when someone buys us off Stan Kroenke).

@JohnCastillo - Isn't that the thing? They're a big club but still have been crap for a very long time now.

@JohnCastillo - most legendary clubs in British history!? Now that's hilarious. Buddy, arsenal are still in villa's shadow. Let alone being considered legendary

@inkniron - It's like football, but there isn't a 10 minute commercial break every two minutes.

@Reeds2Much - I hate how right you are lol. American football is awesome, but I’m at the point where I can’t keep watching near 4 hour games, especially when it should’ve in 3 hours tops.

@Reeds2Much - nah that's hand egg ball. We all know the real football. It's the one thats had that name for centuries

For all you Americans out there, making a graphic novel about Arsenal would be like making one about about the Dallas Cowboys - sure they used to be great, and are still considered a "big" team by many, but they have been distinctly below average for decades now, such that any comparison to the world of superheroes that comes with being in a comic book format is deeply amusing.

@528491 - Cowboys catching strays lmao [frick].

@Vish617 - I feel embarrassed that I forgot about that one! Definitely fitting for this novel.

@Feralwookiee - I love this new trend of people finally appreciating fun dumb action films for what they are, fun dumb action.

Can’t wait to watch this.

I only follow them because of AFTV (RIP Claude), those guys are hilarious but the team has sucked for years now. I'm a City fan myself. By the way, did you guys see Bayern v PSG? Both legs were amazing!
Minghagz
Minghagz - 4/13/2021, 10:38 PM
@Kadara - probably would have had a different result if Lewandowski was able to play. Both legs were very entertaining. I'm happy for PSG though, it was like sweet revenge. Choupo-Moting is probably kicking himself for playing on the losing side 2 years in a row.
Kadara
Kadara - 4/13/2021, 10:44 PM
@Minghagz - I was rooting for Bayern so definitely agree that Lewa would have changed things around for sure. At least they excited with their heads held high.

When was the last time they won any title? Seems like they've been the shittiest of all major PL-teams for well over an decade..

The Invincibles. The biggest lie in football. They lost plenty of games that season. You can't claim you're undefeated for a whole season just because you didn't in lose in one of the five competitions you played in that year. They had a good season. Not even close to the top 5 best seasons by an English team
