Starting in March 2010, WWE and Titan Publishing will begin its series of 20 books based on the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment--including Triple H®, Undertaker®, Randy Orton®, Batista®, Shawn Michaels®, Big Show®, John Cena®, CM Punk®, Kane®, Edge®, Chris Jericho®, Matt Hardy®, Rowdy Roddy Piper™, Carlito™, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler®, and Kelly Kelly®.

The WWE Heroes cycle will be penned by Keith Champagne, who has worked on comics such as "Justice Society of America," "Green Lantern Corps," and "World War III." The artwork is being done by Andy Smith, whose resume includes pencil work for Marvel, DC, and Image, among others.

Liam Sharp, who has done art work for "Hulk," "X-Men," "Spider Man," "Superman," and "Batman," has been commissioned to do an alternate cover for issue #1 which will be exclusive to comic stores.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!
