The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are about to have a trio of amazing women as part of their creative team. IDW announced today that Aimee Garcia (Ella from ‘Lucifer’) and AJ Mendez (WWE’s AJ Lee) will join the creative team for a new GLOW story. Artist Hannah Templer returns for ‘GLOW vs The Babyface’, based in the world of the hit Netflix series. Showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch will oversee the project.
Acccording to IDW, in GLOW vs. The Babyface, the women of GLOW are preparing for an all-new sort of a foe… a news anchor! As they learn the art of the promo to convince the media that GLOW isn’t a bad influence on children, they discover a much bigger problem — a runaway who’s been living under the ring. Madness and mayhem ensue as the preteen girl finds herself in the hands of L.A.’s least qualified babysitters!
Garcia and Mendez both gave statements in the press release. Garcia said, “I’m a HUGE fan of GLOW. I grew up reading comics and never saw myself represented in them, so I’m excited to explore these trailblazing characters and create the change for the next generation. AJ and I are basically writing for our younger selves.”
“As huge fans of the Netflix series, Aimee and I are thrilled and honored to get our hands on the ladies ofGLOW,” says AJ Mendez. “Aimee’s experience in acting and my experience in pro-wrestling makes us a formidable tag team with a unique perspective to truly channel the voices of these hilarious heroines. Our mission as writing partners is to represent diverse, complex, and unbreakable female characters, which is why GLOW feels like the perfect fit.”
Issue 1 of this four part miniseries will be out in November.
