Strange Sports Stories #[nn]

A big orange basketball looms over a scrappy little athlete in jersey #15, crouching in the corner of a folding chair on this Mike Mitchell cover — equal parts eerie and charming, it perfectly sets the mood for DC's 2016 anthology of weird and wonderful sports tales. Strange Sports Stories gathers an impressive lineup including Gilbert Hernandez, Paul Pope, and CM Punk, among many others, promising a wide range of voices tackling athletics from angles you wouldn't expect. The tagline "Get Your Head in the Game" takes on a fittingly unsettling edge when paired with that oversized ball hovering like a threat — or maybe a temptation.
