ARMS will be getting a comic book adaptation in 2018! Starting FCBD 2018, there will be an ARMS comic from Ian Flynn from Dark Horse Comics. Flynn previously worked on the Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog series.
Dark Horse Comics is excited to feature all-ages stories from Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra and Nintendo’s ARMS for our Free Comic Book Day Silver offering on May 5, 2018!
First, Avatar Korra pairs up with an unlikely sidekick for a super-important, top-secret mission to track down a pack of lost pets in a story written by The Legend of Korra co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino with art by Jayd Aït-Kaci and Vivian Ng.
In a story based on Nintendo’s exclusive fighting game ARMS, a young fighter trains tirelessly to reach the top in the ARMS League Grand Prix—but first, he must defeat 599 other contenders! ARMS is written by Ian Flynn (Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man) with art by Joe Ng (Street Fighter, Overwatch: Binary).
