Geekscape Comics: WWE’s CM Punk To Write Intro To ‘AvX’ Hardcover
WWE champion and longtime comic book fan Phil Brooks, who you guys probably know better as CM Punk, will be writing the intro to Marvel’s upcoming hardcover edition of Avengers vs X-Men. A quite vocal supporter of the comic industry, Brooks said this about the opportunity:
“I worked really hard to get to where I’m at and it’s cool to be afforded opportunities like this. To me, it’s hard work paying off and I’m having a lot of fun right now. There’s good and there’s bad, but if you don’t stop to smell the roses, so to speak, it’s all for naught. If I had to describe my writing style, it’s very sarcastic and self-deprecating. You’ll be able to tell it in the foreword.”
Marvel Editor In Chief Axel Alonso also commented:
“Who understands the theatrical nuances of a good smack down more than WWE champ CM Punk, who brings the same muscle and heart he beings to the ring to his brilliant intro for Avengers vs. X-Men.”
